Factor analysis of comprehension states in the learning phases of a programming language

open access: closedProceedings Sixth Asia Pacific Software Engineering Conference (ASPEC'99) (Cat. No.PR00509), 2003
Presents an experiment in understanding how learners of the Java programming language comprehend its concepts, such as classes, inheritance, interfaces, etc., in lectures and exercises. The authors used an empirical technique to test conjectures about how we learn the programming language. Usually, observations about how we learn a programming language
