Abstract
Data structures and algorithms are fundamental subjects in the curricula of information science faculties and departments. Recently, they were also included in the curriculum as basic subjects of data science and artificial intelligence.
In 2017, we developed a smartphone application, termed Data Structure Viewer(DSV), to promote the understanding of data structures and algorithms. This application has been used in our lectures. In this article, we describe the evaluation of the DSVs used in lectures from 2017 to 2021 through the use of questionnaires. The students’ evaluation and confirmation of the lecture content in class, revealed that the DSV contributed to the improvement of students’ comprehension. We also discuss important points to be considered when using the DSV in lectures.
