Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we developed entertainment based learning features in a programming learning support system, to offer a learning environment that stimulates and sustains the motivation of the learner during programming training. The proposed system was applied to an actual college programming course to verify the effectiveness of the proposed system.
From the result of questionnaire, we concluded that the developed programming learning support system was effective in the viewpoint that the student showed interested in programming. However, from the result of the transition of average score of the exam for the advanced/intermediate (the proposed system not used) and introductory (the proposed system used) classes, it could not be established that the proposed method had a positive effect in improvement of the programming writing skills, and improvement of the learning features and revision on method for applying the proposed system is necessary.
