Abstract

Flowchart is a visual representation of a flow of data. It can be used to outline a process or a solution to a problem, whether it is simple or complex. For beginners in programming, it is vital to learn flowcharting to understand the basic logic behind a program. This paper presents the development of an electronic quiz board for testing primary school students’ knowledge related to basic flowchart in C programming called e-FLOWCHART. The device works by displaying question to user, then user has to insert relevant flowchart blocks on the slots boards. Once done, the user press button and e-FLOWCHART will give feedback whether the answer given by the user is correct or otherwise. The interactive element of e-FLOWCHART yet keeping the tactile or “hands-on” feeling highlights the novelty of this educational compared to other available flowchart teaching aids which are software-based. Future study includes the evaluation of the effectiveness of e-FLOWCHART.
