Abstract

In recent years, practical software development exercises have been carried out in many higher education institutions. To carry out the exercises effectively, it is important that teachers understand the difficulty of learners in exercises and advise appropriately for it. Currently, a common way to check the results of the exercises is that teachers review artifacts that learners submitted. However, there is a problem in this way because it cannot obtain information regarding the learners' artifacts creation process. Therefore, teachers cannot fully understand the difficulties of the learners. The authors focus on the learners' artifacts creation process and propose a method for detecting learners' difficult points during the exercises. The authors develop a tool that collects the class diagram creation process by learners during exercises and analyze it.
