On the Use of Concept Maps to Improve Student Skills in an Introductory Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Course

Abstract
This paper presents an ongoing work on the application of concept maps to teaching an introductory Object-Oriented Analysis and Design course for Computer Science students. There exist previous works that introduce the concept map model in these object-oriented courses. However, these works do not usually go deeply enough into the transition from concept maps to static class diagrams. Although concept maps present some clear advantages when defining the abstractions present in object-oriented software modeling, some drawbacks may also appear if the transformation from these maps to class diagrams when the task is carried out through simplistic rules. In this paper we propose an approach, which is illustrated through a use case, to transition from a concept map to a static class diagram in a more realistic way.
