Hello, everyone. I am new to this list. I am a mathematics and computer studies teacher in a secondary school in Hong Kong. From my experience of teaching programming to beginners (novices), I discover that many of them encounter lots of difficulties during the learning process. I try to search the Internet for some relevant research ever done before. I am glad that previous research provide me with deeper understanding of the issue. At the moment, I am interested in knowing whether there are any research done in the area of comparing the effectiveness of different pedagogical models to novice programmers. I know that this problem crosses a few areas in POP and I hope someone with expertise in this problem can give me some idea. Thank You.   Best regards, Wilfred
