Facts, procedures, and visual models in Novices' learning of coding skills

چکیده
A STUDY with students enrolled at an urban technical college compared learning of HTML coding across three Web-based program versions. One group received examples providing factual information about the source code (Facts group). A second group was presented with a step-by-step description of the source code (Procedures group). The third group was shown a visual model, including a diagram and arrows denoting the source code and the associated outcome (Visual Model group). A comparison of coding activity revealed that the Visual Model group constructed more correct code, with fewer trials, in the same amount of time. The Visual Model group also more accurately debugged flawed code. The Procedures group coded more correctly than the Facts group, but differences decreased as problem complexity increased. (

In this paper, face detection problem is considered using the concepts of compressive sensing technique. This technique includes dictionary learning procedure and sparse coding method to represent the structural content of input images. In the proposed method, dictionaries are learned in such a way that the trained models have the least degree of coherence to each other. The novelty of the prop...
