Abstract
This paper is part of an ongoing effort to improve teaching and learning of the object-orientated
Java programming language for novice programmers at undergraduate level. An examination of
what makes the skill of programming in Java difficult to acquire is conducted using a method
that integrates triangular fuzzy numbers and the analytic hierarchy process to develop a fuzzy
evaluation model, which prioritizes the relative weights of difficulties found in the teaching and
learning of the Java programming language. The results derived by the evaluation model can
provide a reference for course designers and teachers seeking to reduce the difficulties of
delivering Java programming courses.
