Over the years, researchers have studied novice programming behaviors when doing assignments and projects to identify struggling students. Much of these efforts focused on using student programming and interaction features to predict student success at a course level. While these methods are effective at early detection of struggling students in…

Viewing worked examples before problem solving has been shown to improve learning efficiency in novice programming. Example-based feedback seeks to present smaller, adaptive worked example steps during problem solving. We present a method for automatically generating and selecting adaptive, example-based programming feedback using historical…
