  abstract =     "This study examined the problem solving of a novice
                 programmer writing a first draft of an elementary
                 computer program. The latter stages of entering and
                 debugging the program were not part of the analysis. A
                 detailed analysis of the tape-recorded protocol
                 confirmed the major themes of the research on novice
                 problem solving. Some characteristics specific to
                 programming were also identified. In particular, the
                 subject emphasized the syntax of the language, showed
                 little advanced planning, and organized her programming
                 information in the order it had been presented in
                 class. There were distinct phases of (a) understanding
                 the problem, (b) devising a plan, and (c) carrying out
                 the plan. There was also evidence of both positive and
                 negative transfer from what the student had previously
                 learned in class. A number of practical guidelines for
                 teaching novices to program emerged from the analysis
                 and the literature.",
