Abstract

Ability to work in teams has been considered one of the most important learning outcomes of the information systems curriculum.Industry's pair programming methodology has been adopted in the recent years as a form of collaborative learning in academic settings.This study reviews the existing body of research aiming two achieve two objectives.First, analyze adoption of pair programming as a pedagogical method using theories based on team learning research.The team effectiveness model was adapted as a framework for analysis, focusing on the outcomes such as facilitation of student learning and fostering of team skills.Second, this study aims to inform information system educators about the viability of using this technique in programming courses.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
