Aim/Purpose: When learning to program, both text-based and visual-based input methods are common. However, it is unclear which method is more appropriate for first-time learners (first learners).

Background: The differences in the learning effect between text-based and visual-based input methods for first learners are compared the using a questionnaire and problems to assess first learners’ understanding of programming. In addition, we study the benefits and feasibility of both methods.

Methodology: In this research, we used the sandbox game Minecraft and the extended function ComputerCraftEdu (CCEdu). CCEdu provides a Lua programming environments for the two (text and visual) methods inside Minecraft. We conducted a lecture course on both methods for first learners in Japan ranging in age from 6 to about 15 years old. The lecture taught the basics and concepts of programming. Furthermore, we implemented a questionnaire about the attitude of programming before and after the lecture.

Contribution: This research is more than a comparison between the visual method and the text method. It compares visual input and text input methods in the same environment. It clearly shows the difference between the programming learning effects of visual input and text input for first learners. In addition, it shows the more suitable input method for introductory education of first learners in programming learning.

Findings: The following results are revealed: (1) The visual input method induces a larger change in attitude toward programming. (2) The number of operations and input quantity influence both groups. (3) The overall results suggest that a visual input is advantageous in a programming implementation environment for first learners.

Impact on Society: A visual input method is better suited for first learners as it improves the attitude toward programming.

Future Research: In the future, we plan to collect and analyze additional data as well as elucidate the correlation between attitudes and understanding of programming.

Bodies of Knowledge (BOK) contains the relevant knowledge for a discipline. BOK must embody the consensus reached by the community for which this BOK will be of application. This consensus is a prerequisite for the adoption of the BOK by the community. In this paper, we utilize a combinations of Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK), models representation, and design science methodology in order to describe the software engineering knowledge context(SEC). SWEBOK serves as backbone taxonomy, while models representation provides a context of representation. In the process of develop of this paper science design methodology was used to provide fundamental knowledge in software engineering (SE).

ソフトウェア、社会、人々が密接に関わり、不確実性を増しつつある今日、市場や顧客の反応を素早く得て、要求や環境の変化に適応可能な俊敏さ（アジリティ、Agility）がソフトウェア開発に必要である。本稿では、アジリティを追及する「アジャイルソフトウェア開発」（Agile Software Development）について、よくある誤解も含めて様々な捉え方や起源、再定義の動きを紹介する。そのうえで研究との関係として、アジャイル開発に対する研究（Research for Agility）と、研究をアジャイルに進める取組み（Agility for Research）の両面を取り上げて、最後に将来を展望する。

This chapter discusses common pitfalls and their countermeasures in software quality measurements and evaluations based on research and practical achievements. The pitfalls include negative Hawthorne effects, organization misalignment, uncertain future, and self-certified quality. Corresponding countermeasures include goal-oriented multidimensional measurements, alignment visualization and exhaustive identification of rationales, prediction incorporating uncertainty and machine-learning based measurement improvement, and standard/pattern-based evaluation.
