Abstract
Nowadays the education of different programming and software development courses is more difficult. Students are not able to learn solutions and techniques that are needed to solve a problem even though their prominent interests and diligence. In cognitive psychology, there are some test procedures which can measure the problem solving ability of a test subject. In engineering education there is no field where problem solving skills are unnecessary, the test procedures of cognitive psychology adumbrate the success of a programming course. The primary aim of this article is to examine the relationship between the test results of the measurement procedure of cognitive psychology and the results of success of programming courses. If there is correlation between the two, the measurement method can be used as a filter in the recruitment process in secondary schools, colleges or universities.
Highlights
The continuous growth of the volume of material information to be transmitted is comparable to Moore's Law, the experiential observation in the technological development the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every 18 months
Problem solving ability tests are available that are reliable, generally accepted in diagnostics and research. Nowadays some of these measurement procedures have been implemented by the PEBL (The Psychology Experiment Building Language) test environment. [5] [6]
The correlation coefficient result, which was provided by TOF test, assumes a strong relationship with the grade point average (GPA), which was reached by the students at 95% significance level
Summary
The continuous growth of the volume of material information to be transmitted is comparable to Moore's Law, the experiential observation in the technological development the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every 18 months. Integrated circuit in this law can be compared to the Internet and the number of transistors can be compared to the quantity of information. Problem solving ability tests are available that are reliable, generally accepted in diagnostics and research. Nowadays some of these measurement procedures have been implemented by the PEBL (The Psychology Experiment Building Language) test environment.
