The vision of aspects to improve problem solving skills: A case study

Abstract:

Software industry requires proficient personnel to solve problems. Keeping in mind, third level education centers apply several mechanisms based on the perspective of programming paradigms, such as object-oriented. This work is focused on analyzing the influence of an abstraction paradigm known as Aspect, on the level of student's knowledge and problem solving skills. A case study method research has been applied on the context of the Proprietary Environments Applications subject, on 20 students of the System Faculty of the National Polytechnic School of Ecuador. This process has been supported by and qualitative analysis tool known as ATLAS.ti, and also by Bloom's taxonomical pyramid of knowledge levels. It was observed that an improvement of knowledge levels on problem solving skills, based on the abstraction of aspects, can be achieved. It seems that a collateral characteristic of aspects is related to students' abstraction, their understanding and solving problem skills.
