Strategies that students use to trace code
2005
Proceedings of the 2005 international workshop on Computing education research - ICER '05
How do first year students approach problems which require them to read and understand code? We report on a grounded theory-based analysis of student transcripts from 12 institutions where students were asked to "think aloud" when solving such problems. We identify 19 strategies used by students. Primary results are that all students employ a range of strategies, there were, in total, many different strategies that were applied, students use multiple strategies on each individual problem,
