A programming education-support PSE system on TSUNA-TASTE

The programming education is very important in technical colleges, universities and enterprises. We have developed a problem solving environment (PSE) for the education and learning support: TSUNA-TASTE[J. Convergence Information Tech., 5(2010)216.]. The TSUNA-TASTE system collects the system-usage date, the information for software used and operation data of mouse and keyboard of all students. In this paper we propose and develop a new subsystem of a C interpreter as an algorithmic visualization tool in our system of TSUNA-TASTE. In this paper we summarize briefly the TSUNA-TASTE and present the C interpreter in the TSUNA-TASTE. The algorithmic visualization tool helps abecedarians of the C language very much. The TSUNA-TASTE may open a new possibility of helpful computer language education.
