Abstract :
The best way to learn abstract knowledge in the initial phase is to liken it with some concrete illustrations. For example, we start acquiring literacy by using a picture storybook. Children notice the correspondence between the picture and the shape of the characters beside it first, and acquire literacy step by step. In this research, we aim to develop a new methodology and its supporting technologies for beginners to learn about computation and programming using the same step. We describe technical subjects for this system and build the 1st trial system.
