Gender differences in end-user debugging strategies

Creator:: Narayanan, Vaishnavi
Abstract:: There has been little prior research reporting strategy usage in end-user problem solving, and even less using gender as a factor. Without this type of information, enduser programming systems cannot know the “target” at which to aim, if they are to support male and female end-user programmers’ debugging. As a...

Complex patterns in gender HCI : a data mining study of factors leading to end-user debugging success for females and males

Creator:: Grigoreanu, Valentina I.
Abstract:: Most of the work so far in the subfield of Gender HCI has followed a theory-driven approach. Established theories, however, do not take into account specific issues that arise in end-user debugging. We suspected that there may be important information that we were overlooking. We therefore employed a methodology change:...

Gender HCI issues in end-user programming

Creator:: Beckwith, Laura A.
Abstract:: Until recently, research has not considered whether the design of end-user programming environments, such as spreadsheets, multimedia authoring languages, and CAD systems, affects males and females differently. As a result, we began investigating how the two genders are impacted by end-user programming software and whether attention to gender differences is...

Gender : an important factor in end-user programming environments?

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Beckwith, Laura A., and Burnett, Margaret, 1949-
Abstract:: A human-centric issue that has not been considered in the design of end-user programming environments is whether gender differences exist that are important to the design of these environments. Ignoring this issue would miss the opportunity of enhancing the effectiveness of end-user programmers by incorporating appropriate mechanisms to support gender-associated...

Effectiveness of end-user debugging software features : are there gender issues?

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Beckwith, Laura A., Burnett, Margaret, 1949-, Wiedenbeck, Susan, Cook, Curtis R., Sorte, Shraddha, and Hastings, Michelle
Abstract:: Although gender differences in a technological world are receiving significant research attention, much of the research and practice has aimed at how society and education can impact the successes and retention of female computer science professionals—but the possibility of gender issues within software has received almost no attention. If gender...

On to the real world : gender and self-efficacy in Excel

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Beckwith, Laura A., Inman, Derek, Rector, Kyle, and Burnett, Margaret, 1949-
Abstract:: Although there have been a number of studies of end-user software development tasks, few of them have considered gender issues for real end-user developers in real-world environments for end-user programming. In order to be trusted, the results of such laboratory studies must always be re-evaluated with fewer controls, more closely...

Gender differences in end-user debugging strategies

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Beckwith, Laura A., Grigoreanu, Valentina I., Subrahmaniyan, Neeraja, Wiedenbeck, Susan, Burnett, Margaret, 1947-, Cook, Curtis R., Bucht, Karin, and Drummond, Russell
Abstract:: Little is known about the strategies end-user programmers use in debugging their programs, and even less is known about gender differences that may exist in these strategies. Without this type of information, end-user programming systems cannot know the "target" at which to aim, if they are to support male and...

Toward end-user debugging of machine-learned programs

Creator:: Kulesza, Todd
Abstract:: The results of a machine learning from user behavior can be thought of as a program, and like all programs, it may need to be debugged. Providing ways for the user to debug it matters because without the ability to fix errors, users may find that the learned program’s errors...

Gender differences in learning physical science concepts : does computer animation help equalize them?

Creator:: Jacek, Laura Lee
Abstract:: This dissertation details an experiment designed to identify gender differences in learning using three experimental treatments: animation, static graphics, and verbal instruction alone. Three learning presentations were used in testing of 332 university students. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA, binomial tests for differences of proportion, and descriptive statistics. Results...

Understanding and supporting end-user debugging strategies

Creator:: Grigoreanu, Valentina I.
Abstract:: End users' programs are fraught with errors, costing companies millions of dollars. One reason may be that researchers and tool designers have not yet focused on end-user debugging strategies. To investigate this possibility, this dissertation presents eight empirical studies and a new strategy-based end-user debugging tool for Excel, called StratCel....
