When studying a programming language for the first time, the majority of student errors fall into broad (and well-documented) categories [3]. This paper aims to investigate errors made by first year students in Blue: A new, object-oriented language specifically designed at the University of Sydney for teaching novice students [2].These errors were investigated by a survey delivered over the World-Wide Web and consisting of multiple choice and free-form short-answer questions. The results of the survey suggest that a student who learns with Blue is no more likely to make errors that are commonly made by novice programmers, although is not necessarily better equipped to design and write code in an object-oriented paradigm. More research is indicated to make statements about the latter. |
