本文报告了一项研究的学生意见的影响，参与人道主义的自由和开源软件（HFOSS）的动机，计算学习，和主要/职业方向。这项研究建立在学生参与HFOSS的现有工作基础上。六个机构与各种配置文件参与了研究和报告的定量分析李克特调查项目。对Likert数据的Mann-Whitney U检验的结果是混合的。积极的结果表明，学生认为，参与HFOSS项目使他们更舒适的计算和提高他们的感知能力，以保持一个项目，并与专业人士互动。负面结果包括对计算技能的感知下降，这可能是由于对开发大型现实项目的复杂性的理解增加。
This paper reports on a study of student opinion of the impact of participation in Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software (HFOSS) on motivation, computing learning, and major/career direction. The study builds on an existing body of work in student participation in HFOSS. Six institutions with a variety of profiles are involved in the study and the paper reports on quantitative analysis of Likert survey items. Results of Mann-Whitney U tests on Likert data are mixed. Positive results indicate that students perceived that participating in an HFOSS project made them more comfortable with computing and improved their perceived ability to maintain a project and interact with professionals. Negative results include a perceived decrease in perception of computing skills, which may result from an increased understanding of the complexity of developing a large, real-world project.
