Why is programming difficult? : proposal for learning programming in “small steps” and a prototype tool for detecting “gaps”

In this article, we propose a model for an understanding process that learners can use while studying programming. We focus on the “small step” method, in which students learn only a few concepts for one program to avoid having trouble with learning programming. We also analyze the difference in the...
