“再混合”的理论家和倡导者提出，挪用（appropriation）可作为一种学习途径。我们使用Scratch在线社区中100多万用户分享的240多万个多媒体编程项目的数据，对这一理论进行了定量测试。首先，我们表明，即使在控制了项目数量和共享代码量之后，更频繁进行再混合的用户所掌握的编程命令也更多。其次，我们表明，通过再混合接触计算思维概念与使用这些概念的可能性增加有关。我们的研究结果支持了年轻人通过再混合进行学习的理论，并且对社会计算系统的设计者具有重要意义。
Theorists and advocates of “remixing” have suggested that appropriation can act as a pathway for learning. We test this theory quantitatively using data from more than 2.4 million multimedia programming projects shared by more than 1 million users in the Scratch online community. First, we show that users who remix more often have larger repertoires of programming commands even after controlling for the numbers of projects and amount of code shared. Second, we show that exposure to computational thinking concepts through remixing is associated with increased likelihood of using those concepts. Our results support theories that young people learn through remixing, and have important implications for designers of social computing systems.
