谁做什么?计算机科学学生团队的分工与分配策略

Who does what? Work division and allocation strategies of computer science student teams

Anna van der Meulen, Efthimia Aivaloglou

摘要:

协作技能对未来的软件工程师很重要。在计算机科学教育中,这些技能通常是通过小组作业来练习的,学生们在小组作业中协作开发软件。学生在这些作业中采取的方法差异很大,但通常涉及劳动分工。然后,可以争论是否仍在进行合作。在这种情况下,计算教育的学科特别有趣,因为它的一些特定功能(如入门技能水平的变化和使用源代码库作为协作平台)可能会影响小组工作中采取的方法。本研究旨在了解计算机科学专业学生在小组作业中的分工与分配策略。为此,我们采访了四所大学的二十名学生。主题分析表明,学生倾向于划分工作量,使独立工作,经常采用结对编程和代码审查。主要受年级和效率因素的激励,学生主要根据他们以前的专业知识和偏好选择和分配任务。根据我们的研究结果,我们认为,组作业的设置可以限制学生练习新的软件工程技能的动机,并需要干预措施,以鼓励实验和学习。

英文摘要:

Collaboration skills are important for future software engineers. In computer science education, these skills are often practiced through group assignments, where students develop software collaboratively. The approach that students take in these assignments varies widely, but often involves a division of labour. It can then be argued whether collaboration still takes place. The discipline of computing education is especially interesting in this context, because some of its specific features (such as the variation in entry skill level and the use of source code repositories as collaboration platforms) are likely to influence the approach taken within groupwork. The aim of this research is to gain insight into the work division and allocation strategies applied by computer science students during group assignments. To this end, we interviewed twenty students of four universities. The thematic analysis shows that students tend to divide up the workload to enable working independently, with pair programming and code reviews being often employed. Motivated primarily by grade and efficiency factors, students choose and allocate tasks primarily based on their prior expertise and preferences. Based on our findings, we argue that the setup of group assignments can limit student motivation for practicing new software engineering skills, and that interventions are needed towards encouraging experimentation and learning.
