| Abstract | Researchers identified different reasoning levels to be one source of error in the communication between instructor and student in programming education. How a student traverses between those different levels of reasoning was studied extensively. However, the results from this research are not practical for the instructor. This paper deals with this problem and proposes a categorization method, as well as an exercise catalog for the instructor, to let her determine the reasoning level of students through the use of written tests only. This approach is investigated with in a case study. It is shown that written tests, which are designed based on the proposed approach, do not always lead to the correct determination of reasoning level. The reasons for this, namely students creative strategies to gain the most points on exercises, are discussed and improvements to this approach are proposed. |
