Pair programming improves student retention, confidence, and program quality (2006, background): “Elsewhere we have argued that the very process of working collaboratively enhances the quality of programs that pairs produce [9].”
Collaborative learning (2006, neutral): “Collaborative learning is increasingly being recognised as a technique for improving learning outcomes (Beck, Chizhik, & McElroy, 2005; Chase & Okie, 2000; H (cid:294) bscher-Younger & Narayanan, 2003; Jonassen, Lee, Yang, & Laffey, 2005; Joseph & Payne, 2003; McDowell, Werner, Bullock, & Fernald, 2”
Programming Is Hard - Or at Least It Used to Be: Educational Opportunities and Challenges of AI Code Generation (2022, methodology): “Codex is available via the OpenAI API8 and also powers GitHub Copilot9 which is billed as “Your AI pair programmer” – an intentional reference to pair programming, a well-known software engineering [2] and programming education approach [28].”
