Abstract | This paper describes how programming strategies were explicitly instructed and assessed in an introductory programming course and describes the impact of this curricular change. A description is given of how strategies were explicitly integrated into teaching materials and assessed in assignments and examinations. Comparisons are made between the outcomes of novices under the new curriculum and results of novices’ learning under the previous implicit-only strategy curriculum, measured in an earlier study. This comparison shows improvement in novices’ strategy application under the new curriculum. |
