Paper Abstract:
|
This paper describes the design, features and advantages of a drawing application -the L.E.C.G.O-Paint application- that
is part of a constructivist multi-representational computer environment designed for beginners learning of Programming
and C (the LECGO environment; Kordaki, 2007). L.E.C.G.O-Paint supplies tools that provide support for students to
express their own intuitive graphical solutions to given problems by using hands-on experience and to receive feedback
in the form of the correct interpretation of the said solutions in Multiple Representation Systems (MRS), such as: natural
language, imperative, pseudo-code and code in C. Specifically, LECGO-PAINT provides a number of tools for: a)
drawing various shapes b) editing shapes, c) using metrics, d) using loops, e) providing feedback in the previously
mentioned MRS, f) receiving help and g) performing typical file operations, such as: save, print, open, etc. |
