Group Work in Learning Programming

Publisher DZHW
Description The research project "Digital Programming in Teams" (DiP-iT) investigates how collaborative learning in computer science studies can be didactically developed and supported with digital tools. The project focuses on the use and implementation of learning analytics methods. The DiP-iT project aims to develop didactic and technical support in computer science studies for learning to program in teams. In order to achieve this goal, the sub-study "Gruppenarbeit beim Programmieren lernen" (GAPL; engl: Group work in Learning Programming) first took stock of the initial situation at the three locations of the joint universities (TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg and Humboldt University Berlin). Interviews with lecturers (data set 1) and students (data set 2) of the three participating universities were conducted to determine the initial situation. It was analyzed to what extent cooperative and collaborative methods are already used in teaching to learn programming. Subsequently, it can be deduced, among other things, how collaborative programming learning can be supported in the future (technically, didactically, organizationally, etc.), where unused potentials lie and which obstacles must be considered in an implementation. The lecturers hold basic courses on learning to program in computer science and were asked, for example, about the extent to which they use group work in their courses and what opportunities and risks they see in group work. The students of computer science have already participated in basic courses on learning to program in computer science or are participating in them in the semester of the interview. Among other things, they were asked about the extent to which they used group work in the course, how they experienced group work, and what opportunities and risks they see in group work.
