摘要

Web开发可以为探索计算机科学概念和实践计算创造力提供丰富的环境。然而,人们在第一次学习web开发时的经历却鲜为人知。本研究以四十九名学生为研究对象,调查他们在网络开发导论课程中的求助行为。通过将内容分析应用于课程的帮助论坛,我们描述了他们遇到的挑战并寻求帮助,将它们与开发、教学、技术、内容和设计问题联系起来。我们将第二层次的内容分析应用于开发问题,确定学习HTML、CSS和JavaScript时学生最常遇到的挑战。最后,我们确定了与这些挑战相关的几个计算概念,包括符号、层次结构和路径、嵌套、参数和参数、分解和抽象。最后,我们讨论了我们的发现对计算机教育的影响。

Learning web development: challenges at an earlier stage of computing education
Web development can provide a rich context for exploring computer science concepts and practicing computational creativity. However, little is known about the experiences that people have when first learning web development. In this paper, we investigate the help-seeking activity of forty-nine students in an introductory web development course. By applying content analysis to the help forums of the course, we characterize the challenges they encountered and sought help for, relating them to development, instruction, technology, content, and design issues. We apply a second level of content analysis to the development issues, identifying aspects of learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that challenged students most often. Finally, we identify several computational concepts that relate to these challenges, including notation, hierarchies and paths, nesting, parameters and arguments, and decomposition and abstraction. We conclude with a discussion on the implications of our findings for computing education.
