Abstract:
The benefits of pair programming have been recognized for some time now. Numerous attempts have been made to introduce pair programming in the classroom to improve student learning and performance. A trial introduction of this method in the introductory Computer Science (CS1) lab-based class is reported. The noticeable improvement found in student performance is in agreement with most previous studies. This study also explores student perception of this collaborative approach to learning, and some administrative issues.
