An educational tool for visualizing students' program tracing processes

Chih‐Yueh Chou, Pu Sun

Abstract

Abstract Program tracing is an important skill for programming learning, but novice programmers' tracing abilities are poor. This study designs a system to enable students to exercise program tracing and make students' program tracing processes visible to help teachers indicate students' errors in tracing execution flow, variable values, or I/O display. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
