Abstract:
Teaching computer programming at an introductory level is a challenging task with a number of associated problems. The current approach taken towards research into teaching computer programming at an introductory level can easily be classified into four main categories: Delivery, Theory, Cognitive Style and Social / Behavioural. Previous research done in each of the four categories mentioned above find no clear solution to the problems. This paper reports on a comprehensive investigation into past and current research in the area of introductory computer programming, and suggests that a balanced approach be taken towards teaching programming at an introductory level. This approach would incorporate a multiplicity of cognitive styles, regardless of delivery modes and theoretical content, and hence, form the basis for future research.
