Use of Computer Tutors in Teaching Programming // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2009. Issue 1 (79). P. 54-56

Teaching programming in secondary comprehensive school issues that cause the lowering of students’ knowledge level are considered. The authors suggest a method to raise the quality of learning the material. The method is based on the use of computer tutors in classroom instruction, namely web-visualizers (which are web applications demonstrating the way algorithms work). Thematic filling of the algorithmization and programming line is examined; a set of web- visualizers which meets the requirements of the basic level of secondary education is formed; a set of web visualizers for computer science as a profile course aimed at advanced study of the theory and practice of programming is proposed.

USE OF WEB-VISUALIZERS IN COURSE OF STUDIES PROGRAMMING // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2010. Issue 10 (100). P. 127-130

The article concerns the method based on the use of computer tutors in classroom instruction, namely webvisualizers (which are web applications demonstrating the way algorithms work). We suggest programming principles, specifically cyclic design using the method of problematical searching.
