Investigating the Impact of On-Demand Code Examples on Novices' Open-Ended Programming Projects

PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2023 ACM CONFERENCE ON INTERNATIONAL COMPUTING EDUCATION RESEARCH V.1, ICER 2023 V1, pp. 464–475.

By: W. Wang *, J. Bacher n, A. Isvik n, A. Limke n, S. Sthapit n, Y. Shi n , B. Tabarsi  n, K. Tran n ...

author keywords: open-ended programming; code examples; block-based programming; novice programming
TL;DR: It was found that students who had access to all 37 code examples used a significantly larger variety of code APIs, perceived the programming as relatively more creative, but also experienced a higher task load. (via Semantic Scholar)
