Development of game-based learning features in programming learning support system

In this research, a programming learning support system incorporating game-based learning is proposed. The aim of the game-based learning approach is to stimulate and sustain the motivation of the learner during programming training. In the developed system, a puzzle-solving interface to programming training and a competitive scoring system was implemented to incorporate game-based learning. The proposed system was applied to an actual college programming course to verify the effectiveness of the proposed system. Finally, future works based on the results are discussed.
