Development and Evaluation of Learning Support System Based on Automatic Classification of Students´ Programs According to Difference from Standard Algorithm

In our previous study, we had developed a teacher support system in order to reduce a cost grading students´ reports/programs. The system can semiautomatically classify a program into four categories by comparing the program with a standard algorithm developed by the teacher, the algorithm is developed on the basis of the students´ program. In the preliminary evaluation experiment of our previous system, we focused on the difference between the standard algorithm and the student´s program. As a result, we found the same difference from the result comparing multiple students´ programs with the standard algorithm. In the present study, we developed a teacher support system that can search certain programs that have the difference focused by teacher.
