由于质量问题困扰着现代社会的软件基础设施，计算教育的一个基本学习目标已经成为培养学生的态度，知识和实践围绕软件质量。教学软件的质量和它的纪律的做法，迄今仅限于更先进的课程，由于普遍的假设介绍学习者的准备不足的主题和潜在的负面影响学习者的动机。在本文中，我们提出的经验证据，完全违背了既定的传统信念。具体来说，通过探索新手程序员如何学习在使用和不使用自动化工具的情况下重构代码重复，我们发现了强有力的证据，表明新手掌握了代码质量及其改进的重要性。回顾过去，这些经验证据促使我们仔细研究我们的在线交互式教程的设计，这是一个推动我们实验性用户研究的平台。我们确定并讨论了教程的关键设计原则，并根据观察到的学习经验确认其有效性。所获得的见解可以通知课程干预，介绍学生的代码质量和纪律的改进实践。
As quality problems plague the modern society’s software infrastructure, a fundamental learning objective of computing education has become developing students’ attitudes, knowledge, and practices centered around software quality. Teaching software quality and its disciplined practices has thus far been limited to more advanced courses, due to the prevailing assumptions about the introductory learner’s unpreparedness for the topic and potential negative impacts on learner motivation. In this paper, we present empirical evidence that starkly contradicts the established conventional belief. Specifically, by exploring how novice programmers learn to refactor code duplication with and without automated tools, we found strong evidence that novices grasp the importance of code quality and its improvement. This empirical evidence motivated us, in retrospect, to closely examine the design of our online interactive tutorial, a platform that drove our experimental user study. We identify and discuss the tutorial’s key design principles and affirm their efficacy based on the observed learning experiences. The obtained insights can inform curricular interventions that introduce introductory students to code quality and its disciplined improvement practices.
