摘要: This paper reports on the replication of a study novice programmers, looking for relationships between ability to 'explain in plain English' meaning code segment and success writing later semester. explores question different learning environment qualitatively evaluates responses identify implications teaching. Statistical results from this are similar those earlier work. Results highlight students' fragile knowledge, particularly students excluded primary analyses by set screening questions, suggest need assessment instruction basic concepts into term than instructors likely expect.
