Flores, Rejeenald M.; Rodrigo, Ma. Mercedes T. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2020
Wheel-spinning refers to the failure to master a skill in a timely manner or after a considerable number of practice opportunities. Several past studies have developed wheel-spinning models in the areas of Mathematics and Physics. However, no models have been made for the context of novice programming. The purpose of this study was to develop…
