Systematic review of three-dimensional immersive digital environments in the teaching of programming
Abstract
Currently, three-dimensional immersive digital environments (TIDE) have been applied to the educational field, being Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Virtual Worlds the most representative technologies. Currently in the literature there are systematic reviews that address each technology separately, making evident the need for a study covering all technologies and more specifically applied to the teaching and learning of computer programming. In the present study, 64 research studies related to the teaching of computer programming at different educational levels were analyzed. Among the main results, 57 studies developed their own tool or application, which shows the little or no practical usefulness of the developments since they are only used for experiments. In addition, most of the works present the benefits of their tools and only 12 studies mention a problem when using the TIDE in the teaching of programming. Finally, the use of TIDE is highlighted mainly for teaching the topic of control structures in programming. This topic is essential since it allows students to modify the execution flow of program instructions.
