Abstract
This paper reports results from an exploratory study investigating the activity patterns of pair programming using a student project conducted over a period of nine weeks. We found that pair programming engaged in activities that lead to more deeper-level thinking which may enable people to formulate a more complete mental model of the task. We also compared the activity patterns between different pair combinations. We found that there are differences in the patterns among different pair combinations.
