Factors Influencing Students' Help-Seeking Behavior while Programming with Human and Computer Tutors

Price, T. W., Liu, Z., Cateté, V., & Barnes, T. (2017, August 14). Proceedings of the 2017 ACM Conference on International Computing Education Research (ICER 17), pp. 127–135.

By: T. Price n , Z. Liu n, V. Cateté n  & T. Barnes n

Contributors: T. Price n , Z. Liu n, V. Catete n  & T. Barnes n

topics (OpenAlex): Intelligent Tutoring Systems and Adaptive Learning; Teaching and Learning Programming; Online Learning and Analytics
TL;DR: This work explores how and why students seek and avoid help when programming, and how this process differs when the help is provided by a human or a computer, through a qualitative analysis of 15 students' interviews. (via Semantic Scholar)

Understanding problem solving behavior of 6–8 graders in a debugging game

Liu, Z., Zhi, R., Hicks, A., & Barnes, T. (2017, January 2). Computer Science Education, Vol. 27, pp. 1–29.

By: Z. Liu n, R. Zhi n , A. Hicks n & T. Barnes n

author keywords: Debugging; K-12; educational games; computational thinking
topics (OpenAlex): Teaching and Learning Programming; Educational Games and Gamification; Online Learning and Analytics
TL;DR: It was found that in the authors' programming game, debugging required deeper understanding than writing new codes, and problem solving behaviors were significantly correlated with students’ self-explanation quality, number of code edits, and prior programming experience.

2016 article

Combining Worked Examples and Problem Solving in a Data-Driven Logic Tutor

Liu, Z., Mostafavi, B., & Barnes, T. (2016, January 1). Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

By: Z. Liu n, B. Mostafavi n & T. Barnes n

author keywords: Worked examples; Data-driven tutor; Problem solving
topics (OpenAlex): Intelligent Tutoring Systems and Adaptive Learning; Innovative Teaching and Learning Methods; Online Learning and Analytics
TL;DR: The results show that worked examples benefits students early in tutoring sessions, but are comparable to hint-based systems for scaffolding domain concepts, which can decrease performance for lower-proficiency students. (via Semantic Scholar)

Building Compiler-Student Friendship

Liu, Z., & Barnes, T. (2015, January 1). Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

By: Z. Liu n & T. Barnes n

topics (OpenAlex): Teaching and Learning Programming; Innovative Teaching and Learning Methods; Software Engineering Techniques and Practices
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that a good compiler-student relationship will change students’ attitude, self-efficacy and motivation towards programming, as well as change students compilation behaviors. (via Semantic Scholar)
