چکیده
1 Umeå University, Department of Computing Science, SE-901 87 Umeå, Sweden, {jubo,thomasj,marie}@cs.umu.se Abstract The transition to object-oriented programming is more than just a matter of programming language. Traditional syllabi fail to teach students the “big picture” and students have difficulties taking advantage of objectoriented concepts. In this paper we present a holistic approach to a CS1 course in Java favouring general objectoriented concepts over the syntactical details of the language. We present goals for designing such a course and a case study showing interesting results.

Introducing OOConcepts with CRC-cards and BlueJ - a case study
Introducing object-oriented problem solving and programming has shown to be more difficult than expected. The way we "used to do" do not work as well as it did with the imperative approach. In an attempt to compare how people conceive the idea of objects and object oriented design/ problem-solving subject to the way it is taught, we conducted a study during Summer-University 2001. The aim was t...
متن کاملTeaching and Learning with BlueJ: an Evaluation of a Pedagogical Tool
BlueJ is a programming environment that has been used to teach object-oriented introductory programming since 1999 in two consecutive first year units at Monash University. An earlier evaluation of its effectiveness in helping students to learn OO programming in the first unit was inconclusive, although most students who participated in the study believed that it did help them to learn Java. It...
متن کاملTeaching Object Oriented Modelling with Crc-cards and Roleplaying Games
CRC-cards have been adopted by many educators to teach early design in their object-oriented programming courses. In this paper we discuss our experiences using the CRC-card approach in upper secondary school and undergraduate programming courses. Although our experiences are generally positive, we have noticed many problems and issues that have largely gone unnoticed in the literature. It is t...
متن کاملMapping CRC Card into Stochastic Petri Net for Analyzing and Evaluating Quality Parameter of Security (TECHNICAL NOTE)
CRC cards are unconventional method for identifying and describing classes, behavior and its responsibilities and collaborators of class. Representation of three categories of class, responsibilities and collaborators can give proper image of scenario. These cards are effective method for analyzing scenarios. With all positive features of CRC cards, of weaknesses of these cards are failure to s...
متن کاملCRC-Cards and Roleplay Diagrams Informal Tools to Teach OO Thinking
CRC-cards (Class,Responsibility andCollaborator) are a lightweight approach to collaborative object-oriented modelling that has been developed as a tool for teaching object-oriented thinking to programmers [1]. They have been used widely in various teaching and training contexts [2, 6, 7, 10]. A CRC-card (see gure 1) corresponds to a class. A responsibility is something the objects of a class k...
