Abstract

Problems with programming or object-oriented programming (OOP) have been reported in several studies. There is still a lack of studies that explore (particularly secondary school) students' conceptions of OOP.Many introductory programming classes in German secondary schools use Greenfoot or BlueJ as an Educational IDE (eIDE). Surprisingly, there are almost no studies on the effect of eIDEs on students' conceptions of programming. This Ph.D. research project aims to find an applicable design approach to identify students' conceptions and mental models concerning the used eIDE.
