Abstract

To guide our work on adaptive explanatory program visualization the authors prepared a questionnaire that was broadly distributed among teachers of programming-related subjects. The questionnaire was designed to collect a list of topics that are considered important, but hard to teach and to solicit suggestions on using visualization for teaching these topics. This paper introduces the questionnaire, explains how it was administered, and presents the results that we consider of interest to the teachers of programming community.
