Abstract

There has been low representation of women in computer science. This paper describes the initial findings of a three-year research project about women in the field of information technology. The goal of this research is to examine the effect of pair programming and agile software development on students. During the first semester of this project, pair programming was used in a junior/senior software engineering class at North Carolina State University. In this paper, we share the grounded theory analysis of three interviews and thirteen project retrospective essays of the female students. Theoretical models were developed to describe: (a) the factors of students' enjoyment in a software design course that employs agile software methods, (b) context that influenced students' study habits, and (c) the effectiveness of pair programming and agile methods. Initial findings indicate that pair programming is an effective practice for the female students, but it also brings new challenges for the instructors.

正在进行的工作——在软件工程课程中，学生们从协作式敏捷软件开发实践和结对编程中获得了意想不到的成果

女性在计算机科学领域的代表性一直很低。本文描述了一项关于信息技术领域妇女的三年研究项目的初步结果。本研究的目的是考察结对编程和敏捷软件开发对学生的影响。在这个项目的第一个学期，结对编程在北卡罗莱纳州立大学的一门大三/大四的软件工程课程中使用。在本文中，我们分享了三次访谈和十三篇项目回顾性论文的扎根理论分析。开发了理论模型来描述:(a)学生在采用敏捷软件方法的软件设计课程中享受的因素，(b)影响学生学习习惯的环境，以及(c)结对编程和敏捷方法的有效性。初步研究结果表明，结对编程对女生来说是一种有效的实践方式，但也给教师带来了新的挑战。
