Renumol, V. G.; Janakiram, Dharanipragada; Jayaprakash, S. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2010
Identifying the set of cognitive processes (CPs) a student can go through during computer programming is an interesting research problem. It can provide a better understanding of the human aspects in computer programming process and can also contribute to the computer programming education in general. The study identified the presence of a set of…
