How to effectively teach computer programming is a national problem facing many schools today. Considerable progress has been made in recent years in developing integrated programming environments that combine under a single uniform user interface the functionality of traditionally separate tools for the editing, translation, testing and execution of high level code. Both the integrated nature of such environments and their "knowledge" of high level language rules relieve students from needless attention to what fundamentally are extraneous details. Hence the students are freed to concentrate on the essentials of problem decomposition and program structure and better understand the fundamentals of programming. Previous work has produced the necessary mechanisms for several key features of a state-of-the-art structure editing environment. The current aim of this project is to develop a powerful, integrated system that will significantly improve the quality of computer science instruction and make it widely available at minimal cost. The system will include the innovative use of flexible program visualizations to aid the programmer in mapping visual representation to code. It will include an Intelligent Computer-Assisted-Instruction (ICAI) system capable of individualized tutoring on high level aspects of procedural and data abstraction. An integral part of this project will be the systematic evaluation of the system in a variety of middle school and high school settings.

如何有效地教授计算机编程是一个全国性的问题 今天，许多学校。 取得了相当大的进展 近年来在开发集成编程环境， 在单个统一的用户界面下联合收割机组合以下功能： 传统上用于编辑、翻译、测试和 执行高级代码。 这两个综合性质的， 环境及其高级语言规则的“知识”减轻了 从根本上说，学生不必要的关注是无关紧要的 续费 因此，学生们可以自由地集中精力学习基本知识 问题分解和程序结构，更好地理解 编程的基础。 以前的工作已经产生了几个关键的必要机制 最先进的结构编辑环境的功能。 的 本项目目前的目标是开发一个功能强大的集成系统 这将大大提高计算机科学的质量， 并以最低成本广泛提供。 系统 将包括灵活的程序可视化的创新使用， 帮助程序员将可视化表示映射到代码。 它将 包括智能计算机辅助教学（ICAI）系统 能够对程序的高层次方面进行个性化辅导 数据抽象。 该项目的一个组成部分将是 系统地评价了该系统在各种中学和 高中的场景
