On Experimental Design for Diagnosing Student Learning Problems in Higher Education

چکیده
Students often face difficulties on the basic programming courses due to several factors. Meanwhile, many papers have presented subjective assessments for diagnosing learning problems to improve the teaching of programming in higher education. In this paper, we propose an Object Oriented conceptual map model, with an approach constructed into three levels: constructing Concept Effect Propagation Table, constructing Test Item-Concept Relationships and diagnosing Student Learning Problems with Matrix Composition. Our work is a modification of the approaches of Chen and Bai, and Chu et al, by using statistical methods, rather than fuzzy sets, for our analysis. This paper includes a statistical summary that has been used with a small sample of students in King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, illustrating the learning problems in an Object Oriented course. The experimental results have demonstrated that this approach might be able to aid learning and teaching in an effective way.
