Teaching Students to Fix Programming Errors with Tutorials Embedded in an IDE
Olli Kiljunen · 2021
While modern software development tools provide programmers with features that help locating and fixing errors in the code, using these tools is not necessarily easy for novice programmers. We call for methods of instruction that teach students how to fix errors in practice using a modern, industry-grade, IDE. We suggest an approach—utilizing tutorials embedded in an IDE— that we think could be suitable for this purpose. Our ongoing and future work include implementing and evaluating that approach.
