Abstract | [Abstract]: An experiment was conducted to test a curriculum that explicitly incorporated programming strategies in lectures, written course materials, exercises and assessment. A control curriculum was also established to allow for comparison and isolation of effects. The two curricula were delivered to two groups of volunteer students who had no previous programming experience. The experimental group showed understanding and application of programming strategies, used the vocabulary plans in interviews and showed greater confidence in their solutions to problems. This suggested that explicit incorporation of programming strategies into an introductory programming curriculum has the potential to improve outcomes for novice programmers. |
