Sequential and Global Learning Styles as Pathways to Improve Learning in Programming

摘要

Programming knowledge is increasingly important to facilitate code reuse. Nevertheless, comprehending another programming language is not simple because of its complexity and clarification needs. Prior work focused on different learning styles to aid programming, but it was important to identify which ones were more effective. This research highlights findings in assessing the different documentation styles, including sequential and global documentation styles. Organizing an observation of 125 intermediate undergraduates participated in cloud hosting computation and file content programming exercises, this empirical investigation revealed that sequential documentation exhibits a positive impact in obtaining programming knowledge, significantly pertaining faster completion time, higher multiple choice comprehension, and fewer difficulties. This concludes that sequential documentation solutions can lead intermediate undergraduates with sequential learning styles to faster growth in gaining programming knowledge.
