Resumen
Introductory programming modules are challenging for both lecturers and students. In previous works, the authors have carried out educational innovations to mitigate these challenges and facilitate learning. This paper presents a further step in this improvement, proposing a learning process enriched with formative feedback. To this end, visual programming environments and educational robots are combined and complemented with automatic source code verification and validation feedback. The feedback integration proposal is presented along with the lessons learned from the previous experiments carried out that establish the basis of this work. The proposal has been implemented and tested in the Object Oriented Programming module in the Bachelor in Computer Management and Information Systems Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of Vitoria-Gasteiz at the UPV/EHU University. The results of the evaluation have been positive and are also presented here.
