Abstract:

With the advancement of information and communication technology, collaboration and knowledge sharing through technology are facilitated which enhances the learning process and improves learning efficiency.

The primary purpose of assessment and evaluation is to improve student learning. Information gathered through assessment and evaluations helps teachers to identify students’ difficulties as well as to detect weaknesses in programs.

The aim of this article is to present a methodology for the evaluation of students' learning in the field of Computer Science, specifically in Object-oriented programming(OOP).

How to use the knowledge acquired in the Object-oriented programming discipline and improve this knowledge in practice is the focus of the research.
The study is based on students who have completed а course in OOP.

The initial phase through which the proposed methodology passes is verification of the acquired knowledge in earlier Object-Oriented Programming courses through entry-level. The basic topics of the entry-level are principles of OOP, defining classes, and constructing objects. Based on the results, the curriculum is adapted. The results' evaluation will help to assess the level of students and to determine the approaches with which the knowledge will be upgraded. As an innovation, the research will be included as a method of acquiring knowledge and keeping students engaged.

Students' research approach is implemented in the development of a course project. As a final stage of the assessment of students' new knowledge, are presented the results of conducted exit-level exam.
