Thangaraj, Jagadeeswaran (2022) Formative Assessment as a Learning Method for Introductory Programming. In: 2022 Conference on United Kingdom & Ireland Computing Education Research (UKICER 2022), 1-2 Sept 2022, Dublin.

Abstract

Programming language courses are essential for learning software
development and different activities are used to motivate novice
students to help them to learn programming languages. Formative
assessment is one of the approaches for effective programming
learning. It can help them for increasing recall, facilitating engagement
and reinforcing programming knowledge. This research aims
to study whether the formative assessment builds self-confidence
of novices to the learning of programming.
