Outline of Final Research Achievements

Pictogram has a effect that it resemble a person or object at a high level of abstraction. We research two type of applications using this effect.
First, we developed four kinds of applications, which user can learn programming secondarily with considering on issues intervening in the information society.
Second, we proposes a new learning environment for programming using human pictograms called "Pictogramming." And we implemented the application and evaluated. Third, we proposes a unified learning activities using human pictograms called "Human Pictogram Unplugged" And we designed several activities and evelucated them.
