Student Pauses and Spacing in Learning to Program: Research Questions

1. How do students space out their work?
- 1.1 On how many days on average per week do students work on course assignments?
- 1.2 When working on course assignments, do students take short pauses and if so, what are the typical pause lengths?
1. How does the students’ tendency to pause influence the course outcomes?
1. Do pausing or spacing behaviors correlate with student background variables?
- 3.1 To what extent do the students’ background variables and answers to the Self-Regulation-specific questions from the MSLQ correlate with students spacing out their work over days?
- 3.2 If there are pause lengths that are negatively correlated with exam scores, how are the relative amounts of such pauses correlated with students’ background variables and answers to the Self-Regulation-specific questions from the MSLQ?
