"The study demonstrated significant improvements in student performance and confidence levels when implementing pair programming as opposed to traditional individual assignments."
"Results indicated that students engaged in active learning practices reported higher satisfaction and confidence, particularly in their programming skills, compared to those who worked alone."
The study investigates the effectiveness of pair programming in a Data Structures course, analyzing student performance and self-reported attitudes. It utilizes pre- and post-course surveys to assess student confidence and engagement. With a high completion rate of surveys, the research compares final scores of students participating in pair programming to those working individually. Key findings highlight that active learning practices, particularly pair programming, result in improved academic performance and increased confidence in programming skills, suggesting a positive influence on persistence in the major.
