Nov 22, 2002 · In the present study we analyze and discuss "what it takes to do computer programming" using phenomenography as research approach. This study is based on a large survey dataset gathered in...

Nov 13, 2018 · We collect empirical data in contexts where students work with computer programming exercises in a computer laboratory, using the programming language Java, and we then analyse these data qualitatively.

In software engineering, research papers are customary vehicles for reporting results to the research community. In a research paper, the author explains to an interested reader what he or she accomplished, and how the author accomplished it, and why the reader should care.

Programming is the “spadework” of finding a precise mathematical formulation and method of solution, possibly notated in a “convenient problem-oriented language” whose symbols are “more closely related to the mathematical problem to be solved”.

Aug 1, 2020 · Computer programming is defined as the “process of developing and implementing various sets of instructions to enable a computer to perform a certain task, solve problems, and provide human interactivity” (Balanskat & Engelhardt, 2015, p. 7).

Mar 21, 2025 · Discover expert tips on writing a clear, well-structured programming research paper that stands out. Improve your research and writing skills today!

Here, we discuss 10 specific rules for writing software papers, covering some of the different scenarios and publication types that might be encountered, and important questions from which all computational researchers would benefit by asking along the way.

Jul 1, 2022 · Based on gaps found in literature, we propose an effective teaching approach that integrates teaching basic foundational aspects of programming, teaching students how to represent computing problems using these foundational concepts and using mobile compilers to compile their codes on the event that systems are not available.

Oct 25, 2020 · In this paper we present, as a second part of our research, the foundations of the cognitive skills extracted from classic and specialized literature, in order to set a basis for new studies addressed on how to train cognitive skills and how to assess them.

Jul 2, 2018 · However, these reviews have focused on highly specific aspects, such as student misconceptions, teaching approaches, program comprehension, potentially seminal papers, research methods applied,...
