Evaluating Pair Programming with Respect to System Complexity and Programmer Expertise (2007, unknown): “The existing experiments on the effect of PP on duration, effort, and quality were conducted on initial development tasks with both students and professionals [25], [30], [31], [32], [44], [46].”
Understanding Women's Underrepresentation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics: The Role of Social Coping (2010, background): “As Williams and Kessler (2003) pointed out, implementing peer programming is one strategy to foster collaboration and to provide resources for social coping.”
Constructionist Gaming: Understanding the Benefits of Making Games for Learning (2015, background): “Originally implemented among college-level students as a learning technique (Williams & Kessler, 2002), pair programming—sometimes referred to as “peer pro-graming”—is rooted in the belief that learning is an inherently social activity.”
