A meta-analysis of teaching and learning computer programming: Effective instructional approaches and conditions

作者：

Highlights：

• Computer programming interventions show moderate to large effect sizes per se.

• Studies focusing on physicality are especially effective.

• Instructional approaches exhibit moderate to large effects.

• Study design features only explain marginal variation in the effects.

• Visualizing programming with Scratch is especially effective.
