Abstract

This paper describes the experience gained while using a computer based algorithm system called ASA, and explains why the evaluation motivated the need for high level structures to represent student and algorithmic knowledge. The system has been used in classrooms at SENAC, a Brazilian company associated with the Brazilian National Commerce Confederation, which promotes technical education. SENAC has a branch in every state of Brazil (26) and every year trains approximately one million students.
