A Framework for Programming Process Measurement and Compiling Error Interpretation for Novice Programmers

This paper proposes a framework to support programming education intended for novice programmers at universities. This proposed framework entails a collection of compile errors and source codes of a student at the time such errors occur, as well as storing the learning history of the student. Programming processes can be measured and a degree of understanding can be estimated by retaining the editing history of source codes. Furthermore, the implementation of the proposed framework, which resulted in the early identification of students with problems, is presented and evaluated.
