Teaching Programming Strategies Explicitly to NoviceProgrammers

Angebote / Angebote:

The traditional approach to training noviceprogrammers has been to provide explicit instructionin a programming language and its features, but torely on implicit instruction of programmingstrategies (the means of solving programmingproblems). Studies, reported in literature, havediscovered universally poor results on standardisedtests for novices studying under this traditionalapproach. It was proposed that programming strategiesshould be made explicit in the instruction andassessment of novice programmers. A series ofexperiments was conducted that focused on explicitlyteaching specific programming strategies to noviceprogrammers. These experiments demonstrated thatexplicit incorporation may improve outcomes fornovices and potentially improve the potential ofexpert programmers in future.
