本文提出了一种新的教学递归方法，其中学生首先玩视频游戏，以将递归操作背景化。由47名高中生接受AP计算机科学A的对照实验的结果表明，这种教学策略可以显着改善学生对递归的理解。此外，调查结果表明，几乎每个学生都喜欢学习活动，并且对自己完成递归练习的能力充满信心。
This paper presents a new method of teaching recursion in which students first play a video game to contextualize recursive operations. Results from a controlled experiment with 47 high school students taking AP Computer Science A indicate that this instructional strategy produces significant improvements in students' understanding of recursion. Additionally, survey results show that nearly every student enjoys the learning activity and is confident in his or her ability to accomplish the recursive exercises.
