  abstract =     "A team-debugging approach to teaching introductory
                 COBOL programming is described. Team debugging
                 activities consist of the formation of different
                 three-person teams for each assigned program to read
                 and critique team members' program listings. These
                 activities require no additional resources or drastic
                 changes in teaching style. The effectiveness of this
                 approach was empirically assessed with a sample of 215
                 undergraduate Business Administration students. An
                 experimental group participated in the team debugging
                 activities while a control group did not. COBOL
                 proficiency was measured by a final examination testing
                 (1) knowledge of language rules, (2) the ability to
                 read a program listing, and (3) the ability to write a
                 program, Analysis of multiple covariance was used to
                 statistically adjust test scores for age and
                 conditional reasoning ability. The experimental group
                 achieved higher mean scores for all three variables.
                 For the program writing variable, the difference was
                 statistically significant (F = 9.50, p {$<$} .05).The
                 findings provide empirical support for incorporating
                 team debugging activities into the programming learning
                 process to more effectively develop student proficiency
                 in writing COBOL programs.",
