instructional design of exercise-centric teaching materials on uml modeling
DESCRIPTION
We have developed an instructional program for teaching literacy in the use of Unified Modeling Language (UML) modeling software at the University of Kitakyushu. In this paper, we show the instructional design of our teaching materials for the literacy and assess their effectiveness. Our strategies include three levels of instruction, each with numerous step-by-step exercises: 10 basic patterns of UML notation at level 1; composition of the notation at level 2; and creating UML system diagrams at level 3. We assess students achievement based on a rubric. Our teaching materials are effective.TRANSCRIPT

Problems
• To learn reading and writing UML is difficult for many students"• because there are too many diagrams, notations and rules!!"
• There was no effective learning strategy for UML literacy."➡ Thus we’ve developed it based on instructional design!

Instructional Design (ID)
• Based on Suzuki’s ID manuals (in Japanese) & Gagne’s ID textbook"• Learning Objectives are the most important assets in ID.

Learning Objectives & Strategies
• O1: Given UML diagrams for a system of a product or a service that has between one and five features, demonstrates the semantics of the diagrams by writing in a natural language, such as Japanese. (intellectual skills: rule using) "• Reading skills (UML Literacy) → Numerous Step-by-step Exercises!"
• O2: Given descriptions in a natural language, such as Japanese, for a system of a product or a service that has between one and five features, demonstrates the models of the descriptions by writing in UML. (intellectual skills: rule using) "• Writing skills (UML Literacy) → Numerous Step-by-step Exercises

• Q. Describe UML diagrams of the following text:"
• The Electronic Flight Reservation and Ticket Issue system has two functions: to reserve a flight ticket and to allow a passenger to board a flight."
• When a passenger reserves a flight ticket, (1) the passenger begins a reservation, (2) the system asks date, time, and departure and arrival place and shows flight options, (3) the passenger selects a flight, (4) the system prompts conformation of the flight, (5) the passenger confirms it, and (6) the system reserves the flight and informs the passenger."
• When a passenger board a flight, (1) the passenger downloads the ticket to his or her mobile phone, (2) the system sends the ticket to the mobile phone, (3) the passenger swipes it over the boarding gate, (4) the gate asks the ticket information to the system, (5) the system checks whether the ticket is valid and sends OK to the gate, (6) the gate opens, (7) the passenger passes the gate, and (8) the gate closes.
