Abstract
This research aims to prove that an environment that establishes a direct connection between flowcharts and the equivalent structured programming language improves the results of the students in the first year of computer programming.The first approach is to do research on investigations about the teaching of the first year of computer programming. The next step is to build and test a prototype that allows the student to draw a flowchart and get the corresponding structured programming language and/or vice-versa, i.e., to write the program and get the corresponding chart.The research revealed that the first year of programming is crucial on building the basis for the following years and that visual tools are relevant in attaining better results. In the face of that, the pursuit for a dedicated application seems to be of value.
