This IUSE Engaged Student Learning project aims to serve the national interest by developing, implementing, and studying an instructional method that benefits students at risk of failure or dropping an introductory course in programming. The future workforce will require or benefit from programming knowledge, which means that most, if not all, students should successfully complete an initial programming course. This project builds on prior work that developed, implemented, and assessed the effectiveness of learning programming using subgoal labels and provided evidence that students who learned with subgoal labels perform better on initial assessments, and are less likely to fail or drop the course. This project extends that work by recruiting and training additional instructors to use subgoal instructional materials, and to develop, and evaluate, additional instructional materials using the programing language Java.The instructional materials that will be developed in Java will cover additional programming topics such as inheritance, polymorphism, and recursion. Instructional materials will include worked examples, practice problems, and assessments, all implemented in eBooks for maximum usage. By expanding the use, topics, and programming language within the instructional materials, further evidence of improved student learning and retention will be generated. Comparison of the initial subgoal results with those from more advanced Java topics and Python subgoals will be evaluated. The NSF IUSE: EHR Program supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students. Through the Engaged Student Learning track, the program supports the creation, exploration, and implementation of promising practices and tools.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个IUSE的学生学习项目旨在通过开发，实施和研究一种教学方法来服务于国家利益，该方法使学生在失败或放弃编程入门课程的风险中受益。未来的劳动力将需要或受益于编程知识，这意味着大多数（如果不是全部的话）学生应该成功地完成初始编程课程。该项目建立在以前的工作，开发，实施和评估使用子目标标签学习编程的有效性，并提供证据表明，学生谁学习与子目标标签在初始评估中表现更好，不太可能失败或放弃课程。这个项目通过招募和培训额外的教师来扩展这项工作，以使用子目标教学材料，并使用编程语言Java开发和评估额外的教学材料。Java开发的教学材料将涵盖其他编程主题，如继承，多态性和递归。教学材料将包括工作的例子，实践问题和评估，所有在电子书中实现最大的使用。通过扩大使用，主题和编程语言的教学材料，进一步的证据，提高学生的学习和保留将产生。将评估初始子目标结果与来自更高级的Java主题和Python子目标的结果的比较。NSF IUSE：EHR计划支持研究和开发项目，以提高所有学生STEM教育的有效性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
