Teaching for Transfer of Computer Program Comprehension Skill.
Dyck, Jennifer L.; Mayer, Richard E.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v81 n1 p16-24 Mar 1989
Computer-naive university students (N=124) were taught the BASIC programing language by solving and receiving feedback on program comprehension problems stated in BASIC or on corresponding problems stated in English followed by problems stated in BASIC. Results support a sequential method of instruction beginning with use of natural language semantics. (TJH)
