研究反复表明，自我效能感与计算机科学及其他领域的课程结果相关。计算机科学教育研究已经记录了这一点，并开发了针对计算机科学的自我效能感测量工具，但到目前为止，只有少数研究考察了旨在提高学生计算机科学自我效能感的干预措施，先前研究提出的几种自我效能感干预类型仍有待在计算机科学领域进行测试。本研究试图通过报告一项旨在提高学生在入门编程课程中自我效能感的试验性干预结果来弥补这一研究的不足。招募学生完成一项自我评价任务，先前的研究表明该任务可能对自我效能感产生有益影响，而这反过来又应该对课程表现产生有益影响。使用倾向得分加权调整来控制两组在入学特征以及自我效能感和课程结果的先前值方面的差异，将参与学生的课程结果和自我效能感与未完成自我评价任务的学生进行比较。我们发现，虽然只有微弱的证据表明自我评价干预对自我效能感有直接影响，但与未参与的学生相比，在被要求完成自我评价任务的几周内，完成任务的学生的项目分数明显更高。这些发现表明，将自我评价任务纳入计算机科学入门课程可能有潜在益处，尽管可能不是因为直接影响自我效能感。
Research has repeatedly shown self-efficacy to be associated with course outcomes in CS and across other fields. CS education research has documented this and has developed CS-specific self-efficacy measurement instruments, but to date there have been only a few studies examining interventions intended to improve students’ self-efficacy in CS, and several types of self-efficacy interventions suggested by previous research remain to be tested in CS. This study attempts to address this lack of research by reporting on the results of a trial intervention intended to improve students’ self-efficacy in an introductory programming course. Students were recruited to complete a self-evaluation task, which previous research has suggested could have a beneficial impact on self-efficacy, which should in turn have a beneficial impact on course performance. Participating students’ course outcomes and self-efficacy were compared with those of the students who did not complete the self-evaluation task, using propensity score weighting adjustments to control for differences between the groups on entering characteristics and prior values of self-efficacy and course outcomes. We found that, whereas there was only marginal evidence for the self-evaluation intervention having a direct effect on self-efficacy, students who completed the self-evaluation task had significantly higher project scores during the weeks they were asked to complete it, compared to the students who did not participate. These findings suggest that there are potential benefits to incorporating self-evaluation tasks into introductory CS courses, although perhaps not by virtue of directly influencing self-efficacy.
