Successfully motivated nearly all participants in problem solving activities. The results also show that an automatic text-to-flowchart conversion approach applied in FMAS Therefore, usingįMAS in practice is supported, as the results indicate considerable gains for the experimental group over theĬontrol group. Finally, anĮxperimental study is devised to assess the success of FMAS, and positive feedback is achieved. The way text-to-flowchart conversion as a visualization-based approach is employed in FMAS toĮngage students in flowchart development for subsequent programming stages is discussed in this paper. Therefore, students can focus less on language and syntax and more on designing solutions through flowchartĭevelopment. Programming algorithms prior to surface structure, using an automatic text-to-flowchart conversion approach. The aim is to improve students’ problem solving skills and to introduce them to the basic To familiarize students who have no prior knowledge of programming, with the initial stages in learning

In order to address this problem, FMAS, a flowchart-based multi-agent system is developed In the early stages of learning computer programming, Computer Science (CS) minors share a misconception of
