Object-Oriented Modeling of Object-Oriented Concepts

Teaching Fundamentals Concepts of Informatics

Teaching introductory object-oriented programming presents considerable challenges. Some of these challenges are due to the intrinsic complexity of the subject matter — object-oriented concepts are tightly interrelated and appear in many combinations. The present work describes an approach to modeling educational domains and reports on the results for object-orientation. It analyzes the dependency structure of object-oriented concepts and describes the implications that the high interrelatedness of concepts has on teaching introductory programming.
