The Effect of Programming Education Using LMS on Motivation

Abstract

We continue to educate students in the School of Engineering Evening Division at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering’s “Computer Programming Ⅱ” course for the purpose of increasing their motivation. We incorporate feedback from instruction improvement plans analyzed by SIEM into the course, in which students’ motivation tends to decrease from the middle to the end. We have taken various measures to increase students’ motivation, but it has proven difficult to curb the decrease. Taking a new approach, we experimentally implemented LMS from the middle of the course onward and investigated its impact upon motivation. This paper will describe the results of the analysis.
