早上还是晚上?CS1学生昼夜节律的检测
Morning or Evening? An Examination of Circadian Rhythms of CS1 Students
摘要:
昼夜节律是我们内部时钟的周期,在控制我们何时睡觉和何时活动方面起着关键作用。一个相关的概念是生理时钟类型,这是一个人在一天中的某些时间活动的自然倾向,通常决定了个人最警觉和最有成效的时间。在这项工作中,我们调查chronotypes设置的计算机编程(CS1)课程。使用从学生中收集的数据,我们通过无监督学习研究了时间类型的存在。我们发现的时间型与文献中报道的典型人群一致,我们的结果支持某些时间型与学术成就的相关性。我们还发现,对仍然流行的关于计算机程序员是夜猫子的刻板印象缺乏支持。这些分析是根据两所大学的数据进行的,一所在美国,一所在欧洲,这两所大学使用不同的教学方法。在这两个方面的比较,我们期待编程作业设计和管理,可以促进更好的编程实践中的拖延和努力的学生。
英文摘要:
Circadian rhythms are the cycles of our internal clock that play a key role in governing when we sleep and when we are active. A related concept is chronotype, which is a person's natural tendency toward activity at certain times of day and typically governs when the individual is most alert and productive. In this work we investigate chronotypes in the setting of an Introductory Computer Programming (CS1) course. Using keystroke data collected from students we investigate the existence of chronotypes through unsupervised learning. The chronotypes we find align with those of typical populations reported in the literature and our results support correlations of certain chronotypes to academic achievement. We also find a lack of support for the still-popular stereotype of a computer programmer as a night owl. The analyses are conducted on data from two universities, one in the US and one in Europe, that use different teaching methods. In comparison of the two contexts, we look into programming assignment design and administration that may promote better programming practices among students in terms of procrastination and effort.
