Comparison of OOP first and OOP later
Albrecht Ehlert, Carsten Schulte · 2010
This paper is the second part of an empirical comparison of objects-first vs. objects-later. Here we focus on the role of the emotional climate, connected to the different approaches. The study was carefully designed to align the two approaches so that the comparison is focused on the main difference; that is the different sequence in which topics are taught: object oriented topics from the beginning or not.
