Abstract

This paper deals with the feedback given to teachers in order they better manage their activities. We support teachers' activities, especially their interventions effectiveness, by giving them feedback about the effects of these interventions through an indicator-based approach. To investigate the benefits of the introduction of this aid, we conducted experimentations in the field of object-oriented programming. Experimental outcomes show that giving teachers information about the effects of their interventions increases their effectiveness qualitatively and quantitatively; it also has a positive impact on learners' ability to solve their problems.
