#pair-programming

Interaction and Events: While creating code, the all-male pairs interacted more with the SCRATCH interface than the all-female pairs. The all-male pairs moved blocks around significantly more often than all-female pairs (p = 0.041). Similarly, boys changed the parameters of an existing block more than the girls (p = 0.060). Dragging a new block out of the toolbox is also done more often by the all-male pairs, but not with such a distinct difference (p = 0.093).

The team relies on pair and mob programming with Test-Driven Development (TDD), and all tasks require at least two team members to ensure shared responsibility.

The study demonstrated significant improvements in student performance and confidence levels when implementing pair programming as opposed to traditional individual assignments.
