Research of Puzzle based Programming Learning Support System

在这项研究中，我们开发了基于游戏的学习功能的编程学习支持系统，提供一个学习环境，刺激和维持学习者的动机，在编程培训。将该系统应用于一门实际的大学程序设计课程，验证了该系统的有效性。从期中、期末考试平均成绩和问卷调查的转换结果来看，我们认为开发的CAPTAIN系统是有效的，学生表现出对编程的兴趣。此外，我们的结论是，该系统是有效的理解程序的结构和处理流程。然而，从一些情况下的t-检验的结果，它不能成立，所提出的方法有积极的影响，在提高编程技能，和改进的学习功能和修改的方法，应用所提出的系统在编程课程是必要的。在未来的工作中，我们计划采取进一步措施，将娱乐纳入电子学习，以改善学习支持功能。

In this research, we developed game based learning features in a programming learning support system, to offer a learning environment that stimulates and sustains the motivation of the learner during programming training. The proposed system was applied to an actual college programming course to verify the effectiveness of the proposed system. From the result of transition of the average score for mid-term, final exams and questionnaire, we concluded that the developed CAPTAIN system was effective in the viewpoint that the student showed interested in programming. Moreover, we concluded that this system was effective for the purpose of understanding the structure and processing flow of the program. However, from the result of t-test for some cases, it could not be established that the proposed method had a positive effect in improvement of the programming skill, and improvement of the learning features and revision on method of applying the proposed system in the programming course is necessary. For future works, we plan to improve learning support functions by taking further steps to incorporate entertainment in e-learning.
