RE: PPIG discuss: Object-oriented vs. procedural programming: material for a study.

[Olga Smyslova]

Dear S.Saravan,   Yes, it would be great to hear your thoughts and suggestions.  I am pretty sure, that experienced subjects are more difficult to deal with, because they all have a wide range of experiences with other languages and working experience in software industry. How can I be sure, that the result I will see in my study will be caused by their recently learned knowledge and not by their working experience. If I have to work with experienced subjects, I will need to find ones with very "special experience", which is not easy.   best,   Olga. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2005 1:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FW: PPIG discuss: Object-oriented vs. procedural programming: material for a study. Hi,   I would like to see your mail in PPIG discuss: so let be briefly introduce myself. I graduated as a Master of Computer Application [MCA] from Madurai Kamaraj University, India and presently doing the distance learning in Master of Science in Psychology from Annamalai University, India. Presently I am working as a Software Developer in i-flex Solution Ltd, Chennai, India.   Fine, I have a suggestion for you to do your research in a learning process of Object-oriented programming, Functional programming, and Procedural Programming.   C++ programming Language/Environment is having the entire above things. I mean you can do Object-oriented programming, Functional programming, and Procedural Programming using C++. Yes, it is difficult to learn the naive subjects.   Why can’t you choose your subjects, who are working in software industry?   Let me know in case of any clarifications.   Bye!   Regards, S.Saravanan, Developer, PrimeSourcing™ i-flex solutions limited | Chennai - 600034, (+91-44-5578 4413 & 91-94432-01254 * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Saravanan S [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2005 1:32 PM To: Saravanan S-CH Subject: Fwd: PPIG discuss: Object-oriented vs. procedural programming: material for a study.   ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Olga Smyslova <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2005 18:34:35 -0800 Subject: PPIG discuss: Object-oriented vs. procedural programming: material for a study. To: discuss@ppig.org     Dear PPIG members,   I am new to the discussion, so let be briefly introduce myself. I graduated from Moscow State University, Russia. Psychology of programming is among my primary scientific interests; my dissertation research was about computer hacking motivations. Now I live in US and work for a Lab in Moscow, while looking for research opportunities in Bay Area, CA.   I am planning a study of  programming languages influence on thinking. For that purpose I need to simulate a learning process of Object-oriented programming, Functional programming, and  Procedural Programming, so novices could learn a few concepts from one of the programming languages or environments, and then be tested (or asked to solve a task).   The problem is how to find an opportunity to teach naive subjects these concepts of OOP or procedural programming: some of the colleagues suggested to try object-oriented Logo, some - try to find any environments which make both approaches available. From my point of view, these environments should have different levels of abstractions to represent. I also would love to read more about the underlying differences between those approaches.   If you have any suggestions or thoughts, or literature on the topic, please, share! I appreciate your help very much!   With warmest wishes,   Olga Smyslova.   -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
