The project explores the development of teaching language progressions for Embedded Domain-Specific Languages (EDSLs), focusing on making programming more accessible to novice learners. It addresses the challenging transition from basic programming to advanced EDSLs. The project's novelties are its approach to simplify EDSLs into starter versions, gradually introducing complexity, and its methodology to construct these teaching languages by repurposing existing EDSL components. The project's impacts are significant, aiming to democratize programming education and enhance learners' grasp of complex programming languages, ultimately contributing to a more inclusive and skilled programming community.In a more technical scope, the project employs a structured approach to create two tailored teaching EDSLs (tEDSLs), specifically for algebraic pattern matching and constraint logic programming. These tEDSLs are designed to evolve in complexity, aligning with the learners' growing proficiency. The investigator will conduct a pilot study with novice students to evaluate the effectiveness of these tEDSLs, assessing both learning outcomes and engagement levels. This endeavor is expected to yield significant advances in programming language design and computer science education, fostering an easier transition for learners to master expert-level EDSLs and potentially shaping future pedagogical strategies in programming education.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.

该项目探讨了嵌入式领域特定语言（EDSL）的教学语言进度的发展，重点是使新手学习者更容易访问编程。它解决了从基本编程到高级EDSL的具有挑战性的过渡。该项目的新颖性是将EDSL简化为启动版本的方法，逐渐引入复杂性及其通过重新利用现有的EDSL组件来构建这些教学语言的方法。该项目的影响很大，旨在使节目教育民主化并增强学习者对复杂的编程语言的掌握，最终为更具包容性和熟练的编程社区做出了贡献。在更技术性的范围内，该项目采用结构化的方法来创建两种量身定制的教学EDSLS（TEDSL）（TEDSL）（TEDSL），专门用于代数的模式模式匹配和约束型号编制和约束。这些TEDSL的设计旨在在复杂性中发展，与学习者的熟练程度保持一致。研究人员将向新手学生进行一项试点研究，以评估这些TEDSL的有效性，评估学习成果和参与水平。预计这项努力将在编程语言设计和计算机科学教育方面取得重大进展，从而为学习者提供更容易的过渡，以掌握专家级的EDSL，并可能在编程教育中塑造未来的教学策略。该奖项反映了NSF的法规任务，并认为通过基金会的知识优点和广泛的criter criter criter criteria crietia criteria criteria criteria criteria criteria criteria criteria criteria criteria criteria均值得一提。
