The Effect of User-Specified Language Elements on Learning to Program.
Madeo, Laurence A.; Bird, David A.
Journal of Research on Computing in Education, v22 n3 p336-47 Spr 1990
Discussion of the benefits of allowing programers to use their own words in programing focuses on a study of graduate students that tested whether an experimental group who specified their own operation codes performed better than a control group who used fixed codes. The results of regression analyses are discussed, and future research needs are suggested. (17 references) (LRW)
