CHAPTER I
Background of the Study
Computer programming is defined as telling a computer what to do through a special set of instructions which are then interpreted by the computer to perform some task(s). A computer goes through a set of steps whose purpose is to achieve something. These steps are instructed to the computer by computer programs. Essentially, computer programming is the process by which these programs are designed and implemented. [1.]

Learning to program is difficult for many students. Although several factors that affect learning to program have been identified over the years, we are still far from a full understanding of why some students learn to program easily and quickly while others flounder. [2.]

Programming fundamentals are hard skills to learn, especially for novices, for several reasons. Students encounter some unexpected epistemological obstacles, like learning looping constructs, conditionals, or assembling programs out of base components: “Data structure and algorithms are often difficult issues, since capturing the dynamic nature of abstract algorithms is not a straightforward task”. Learning how to program assumes lectures, classes, and practice sessions. To be able to program, students

    When I was making my schedule for my junior year of high school, it was no secret that AP Computer Science was the class I was really looking forward to taking. I had always been comfortable using a computer, whether it was fulfilling my role of unofficial Tech support for my family, browsing the internet, playing games, or any other of the numerous things I spent on a mouse and keyboard. I had always harbored a sense of wonderment on how it worked, and Computer Science offered me a way to explore just that.…

    Everyone around me had trouble understanding what could possibly draw me to such a difficult language. But the truth is that I wasn’t even sure what made coding so fascinating to me. The only thing I knew was that I was captivated by its intricacy and the ability to express my thoughts in neat lines of brackets and semicolons. There was no stopping once I started tapping away at the keyboard. Even though using computers was banned in our school dormitory, I always found a way to sneak in my laptop and trade off sleep for more perfect, beautiful code. I was a computer freak.…

    Programming is a complicated skill to master, and learning to program is complex. The difficulty of first year students studying computer science is that they generally do not already have a substantial understanding of computer programming. This results in either student retention, or student carefully selecting units in later years that have less exposure to programming. Associated with this is a desire to spot potential problem students have as early as possible. Timely warning can aid the teacher to provide more assistance to students. Furthermore, students would be able to change their current methods of study and make more informed choices before it is too late. The goal of the present research is to replicate previous investigations and test into whether the latency, or delay between certain keystrokes, correlates with the objective measure of programming performance. Controlled experiment was conducted in UWA with a total of 34 participants to test the hypotheses. Complete records of the keys being pressed and the millisecond timing were captured by using a logging tool known as User Action Recorder (UAR). These keystroke data were then recovered into digraphs according to their types. Spearman Rank Correlation Test was performed for each digraph type against programming score. This experiment had a goal to discover whether the previous typing pattern and results hold in a new setting. We examine the results from the experiment in UWA against the results from the previous two experiments. The results show that the correlation theory holds stronger in UWA. However, these results were not as significantly strong compared to the…

    The Joys of the Craft Why is programming fun? What delights may its practitioner expect as his reward? First is the sheer joy of making things. As the child delights in his mud pie, so the adult enjoys building things, especially things of his own design. I think this delight must be an image of God 's delight in making things, a delight shown in the distinctness and newness of each leaf and each snowflake. Second is the pleasure of making things that are useful to other people. Deep within, we want others to use our work and to find it helpful. In this respect the programming system is not essentially different from the child 's first clay pencil holder “for Daddy 's office.” Third is the fascination of fashioning complex puzzle-like objects of interlocking moving parts and watching them work in subtle cycles, playing out the consequences of principles built in from the beginning. The programmed computer has all the fascination of the pinball machine or the jukebox mechanism, carried to the ultimate. Fourth is the joy of always learning, which springs from the nonrepeating nature of the task. In one way or another the problem is ever new, and its solver learns something: sometimes practical, sometimes theoretical, and sometimes both. Finally, there is the delight of working in such a tractable medium. The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thoughtstuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily…
