CodeStruct is a structured editor that includes:
→ a context-aware toolbox of explorable tutorials
→ allows point-and-click + char-by-char code insertions
→ automatically handles syntax
→ provides immediate feedback + suggestions while coding
→ provides visual aids: holes + scope
We also evaluated CodeStruct in an 11-session study with 26 high school students. Some of the results:
→ Transitioning to CodeStruct reduced syntax errors (4.35x) and help requests (4.63x) when compared to transitioning directly to Python.
→ Interestingly, learners that used CodeStruct performed equally well after the scaffolds were removed.
