Abstract
The study presented in this paper explores junior high school students' comprehension of basic OO concepts. It summarizes major (mis)conceptions demonstrated by the students in two main categories: confusion of (1) taxonomic and (2) partonomic hierarchies with classes, objects and their interrelations.

What Is Object-Oriented Programming?
The meaning of the term 'object oriented' is examined in the context of the general-purpose programming language C++. This choice is made partly to introduce C++ and partly because C++ is one of the few languages that supports data abstraction, object-...
A Domain-Theoretic Model Of Nominally-Typed Object-Oriented Programming
The majority of contemporary mainstream object-oriented (OO) software is written using nominally-typed OO programming languages. Extant domain-theoretic models of OOP developed to analyze OO type systems miss crucial features of these mainstream OO ...
