摘要：Umberto Eco theorized a semiotic process through which people perceive, interpret, internalize (learn), and produce (articulate) information. The process involves a set of symbolic representations and transformations that model how humans acquire and process information. Hughes and Peirsi investigated Learning Approaches that students use to learn object oriented (OO) programming. Three learning approaches were described and studied to determine how effective each were for acquiring OO programming competencies. The semiotic model stimulated the idea for a conceptual framework that would incorporate these Learning Approaches. In order to integrate them into the framework, nine elemental Learning Techniques (denoted LTs) were identified. Using the framework, a strategy was developed for determining which Learning Techniques students use and which are effective for learning computer programming. This paper describes the research on these learning techniques and how they can be used to predict the performance of students in their first course in computer programming.
