Abstract: Recent research attempts to figure out the hard points of Computer Science (CS) discipline curricula that seem to trouble students. The presented work focuses on assessing first-year CS students’ knowledge on issues related to fundamental computer architecture concerning main memory organization, operation, and role on program execution. Formulating questions based on Kintsch's text comprehension model theory is a promising diagnostic tool to identify students’ conceptions and misconceptions. The paper discusses the Kintsch model as the basis for formulating meaningful questions, analyzes students’ answers, and attempts to categorize and explain the revealed misconceptions. The emerging misconceptions may be helpful for effective learning design and appropriate educational material.
