Abstract

This position paper argues that students who have difficulty programming often exhibit difficulty in building correct semantic representation of program statement effects. We argue for the need to develop and use tutoring software to help students develop visual reasoning skills in programming. Adaptive tutoring systems will allow students to work privately at their own pace. Example tutoring system designs incorporating visualization, adaptive learning, conversational tutoring and mastery learning are presented.
