Abstract

"Objects-first" is an increasingly popular strategy for teaching object-oriented programming by introducing the concepts of objects, classes, and instances before procedural elements of a programming language. Learning object-oriented design and programming is a challenging task for many beginning students. We represent CIMEL ITS, which is an intelligent tutoring system that provides one-on-one tutoring to help beginners learn object-oriented analysis and design, using elements of UML before implementing any code. We also present a three-layered Student Model which supports adaptive tutoring by inferring the problem-specific knowledge state from student solutions, the historical knowledge state of the student and cognitive reasons about why the student makes an error.
