Swapping as the "Hello World" of relational reasoning : replications, reflections and extensions
Teague, Donna M., Corney, Malcolm W., Ahadi, Alireza, & Lister, Raymond (2012) Swapping as the "Hello World" of relational reasoning : replications, reflections and extensions. In de Raadt, Michael & Carbone, Angela (Eds.) Proceedings of Conferences in Research and Practice in Information Technology (CRPIT), Australian Computer Society, Inc., RMIT University, Melbourne, VIC.
At the previous conference in this series, Corney, Lister and Teague presented research results showing relationships between code writing, code tracing and code explaining, from as early as week 3 of semester. We concluded that the problems some students face in learning to program start very early in the semester. In this paper we report on our replication of that experiment, at two institutions, where one is the same as the original institution. In some cases, we did not find the same relationship between explaining code and writing code, but we believe this was because our teachers discussed the code in lectures between the two tests. Apart from that exception, our replication results at both institutions are consistent with our original study.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from and citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from theindexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
