Produktbeschreibung
The traditional approach to training novice
programmers has been to provide explicit instruction
in a programming language and its features, but to
rely on implicit instruction of programming
strategies (the means of solving programming
problems). Studies, reported in literature, have
discovered universally poor results on standardised
tests for novices studying under this traditional
approach. It was proposed that programming strategies
should be made explicit in the instruction and
assessment of novice programmers. A series of
experiments was conducted that focused on explicitly
teaching specific programming strategies to novice
programmers. These experiments demonstrated that
explicit incorporation may improve outcomes for
novices and potentially improve the potential of
expert programmers in future.
