Hoskey, Arthur; Maurino, Paula San Millan – Information Systems Education Journal, 2011
Numerous studies document high drop-out and failure rates for students in computer programming classes. Studies show that even when some students pass programming classes, they still do not know how to program. Many factors have been considered to explain this problem including gender, age, prior programming experience, major, math background,…
