It is hypothesised that the development of concepts in formal education can be understood through the ideas of non-literal language and conceptual integration networks. The notions of concept, understanding and meaning are examined in some depth from philosophical, psychological and linguistic standpoints. The view that most concepts are grasped through non-literal means such as metaphor and conceptual blend is adopted. The central contention is that this applies both to everyday ideas and to those presented to students in formal educational contexts, and that consequently such learning is bes

The primary task of learning to program in introductory computer science courses (CS1) cognitively overloads novices and must be better supported. Several recent studies have attempted to address this problem by understanding the role of metacognitive awareness in novices learning programming. These studies have focused on teaching metacognitive awareness to students by helping them understand the six stages of learning so students can know where they are in the problem-solving process, but these approaches are not scalable.

Learning to program for the first time can be a daunting process, fraught with difficulty and setback. The novice learner is faced with learning two skills at the same time each that depends on the other; they are how a program needs to be constructed to solve a problem and how the structures of a program work towards solving a problem. In addition the learner has to develop practical skills such as how to design a solution, how to use the programming development environment, how to recognise errors, how to diagnose their cause and how to successfully correct them.

Experienced procedural programmers seem to have difficulty when transferring from a procedural language to an object-oriented language.

Increasing support for software customization through scripting, the opening of application programmer interfaces on the Web, and a growing need for domain specific application support have all contributed to an increase in end-user programming.

Tools that perform semi-automated refactoring are currently under-utilized by programmers. If more programmers adopted refactoring tools, software projects could make enormous productivity gains.

Abstract:
ALBERT, an intelligent problem-solving monitor and coach, has been developed to assist students solving problems in one-dimensional kinematics. Students may type in kinematics problems directly from their textbooks. ALBERT understands the problems, knows how to solve them, and can teach students how to solve them. The program is implemented in the TUTOR language and runs on the Control Data mainframe PLATO system. A natural language interface was designed to understand kinematics problems stated in textbook English. The interface is based on a pattern recognition system which is intended to pa

Abstract:
Essa pesquisa teve por objetivo central analisar a formação de programadores de software do Arranjo Produtivo Local (APL) de Tecnologia da Informação (TI), da região sudoeste do Paraná. Considerando a emergência desse setor a partir da década de 1990 no Brasil e, posteriormente, seu fortalecimento na região sudoeste desse Estado na última década, esforços foram empreendidos na constituição de processos formativos para o atendimento das demandas de qualificação da força de trabalho no setor. Atrelada à existência do APL, a oferta de cursos de graduação em instituições públicas e privadas da reg
