This dissertation by Filip Strömbäck focuses on teaching and learning concurrent programming in the shared memory model. It addresses the challenges students face in understanding concurrency, which is essential due to the increasing prevalence of multicore systems in various devices. The research explores the difficulties students encounter, such as the need for a more formal approach to programming and understanding fundamental concepts like scope, aliasing, and references. The dissertation introduces Progvis, a visualization tool that helps students better grasp concurrent programming by illustrating the interaction between concurrency and basic programming concepts. The tool also includes a model-checker to identify concurrency issues, aiding students' learning. The findings suggest that Progvis improves students' problem-solving speed and accuracy in concurrent programming.
