Teaching Object-Oriented Programming with More Practical, Complete, and Convincing Examples

Yanjie Zhao, Nagasaki Institute of Applied Science

It is often not easy for teachers to select suitable examples for teaching object-oriented technology to students, particularly to programming beginners. There are several reasons for this difficulty. First, object-oriented mechanisms are often used to cope with large and complicated problems that require lots of time and expertise to solve. Second, object-oriented mechanisms often play effective roles in large and practical programs that include many practical details and require special knowledge in application fields. And lastly, students do not easily understand object-oriented mechanisms without being given long and complicated examples. We discuss a teaching scheme that helps teachers to select suitable examples to enable students to understand object-oriented technology. We also discuss our experience with this teaching scheme.
