Computer Science Outreach Workshop and Interest Development: A Longitudinal Study
2018
This longitudinal study investigates the impact of an extra-curricular programming workshop in student interest development in computer science. The workshop was targeted at 12–18-year old youngsters. A survey was sent to all previous participants with a known home address; 31.5% responded the survey (n = 197). This data was then combined with pre-workshop survey data, and analyzed with mixed methods. Positive development of interest was discovered for 57% of the respondents, of which nearly all attributed their interest increase to the workshop at least partly (92%). Qualitative inspection revealed that the workshop provided three anchors that facilitated students’ reengagement with progra…

Towards multi-concern software development with Everything-as-Code
2022
As software is becoming a central element in our lives, more and more stakeholders have concerns. Unlike today, when developers stop their coding activities to satisfy these stakeholder concerns, we propose dealing with them as part of the coding workflow, the central element of programmers’ daily duties. This can be achieved by extending the approach that we call Everything-as-Code (EaC) beyond software engineers and operators. peerReviewed
Web-sovellus ohjelmoijien motivaation ja motivaatio-ongelmien kartoittamiseen ja korjaamiseen
2017
Tämä tutkielma pyrkii antamaan vastauksen siihen, kuinka voidaan toteuttaa www-sovellus, jolla voidaan mitata ja analysoida ohjelmoijien motivaatiota organisaatiossa ja kuinka voidaan laatia motivaatiosuunnitelma heikkojen motivaatioalueiden korjaamiseksi. Työn teoriaosuudessa käsitellään ensin taustateoriaa työtyytyväisyydestä ja motivaatiosta ja käydään läpi eräitä tärkeitä motivaatiomalleja. Tämän jälkeen valitaan kaksi motivaatiomallia, joille laaditaan toiminnalliset määrittelyt, joilla ne on mahdollista muuntaa mitattavaan ja laskettavaan muotoon. Teoriaosuudessa esitetään myös, kuinka motivaatiosuunnitelma tehdään ja kuinka voidaan laatia motivaatiota korjaavia toimenpiteitä. Teoriao…
A replication study on the intuitiveness of programming language syntax
2023
AbstractIn this article, we present a replication of an empirical experiment that evaluates intuitiveness and comprehensibility of keywords relating to different concepts in programming languages, originally conducted by Stefik and Gellenbeck. Novice programmers face many barriers when learning programming. One of these barriers is syntax, which for many languages is not designed based on empirical evidence. The purpose of the experiment was to provide more empirical evidence on the subject, to find out if the results of the original experiment can be replicated and if conducting the experiment in an environment where English is not the native language affects the results. The results of ou…
Soft Competencies and Satisfaction Levels for Software Engineers: A Unified Framework
2019
The importance of software engineers’ competency has long been established as a key pillar for the development of robust software in order to achieve quality software. Software engineering competency research is not necessarily lacking. Nevertheless, the satisfaction derived from using software competency needs more investigation. The aim of this study is to identify soft competencies from empirical data and create satisfaction levels for software engineers’ soft competencies. The result shows 63 soft competencies with three different satisfaction levels consisting of basic, performance and delighters. The paper contributes to the SEC research by highlighting the satisfaction levels of soft…
