Abstract

Conflictive animations is an approach to use animations in programming education which was introduced at last year's Koli Calling [4]. Conflictive animations are created so that they do not animate faithfully what the programs intend to do. They aim to compel the student to critically review the animation by asking them to spot possible errors or mistakes in the animation. Thus, students take a new role in their relation to educational tools, which are now prone to fail.
