Краткое описание

This exploratory study examined the effectiveness of a pedagogical approach in which high school females mentored middle school peers during a one-week camp focused on how to program using App Inventor. Most research on mentors focuses on the effect on the mentees rather than the mentors. Through mentoring, participants are given the opportunity to learn through self-generated explanations, reciprocal teaching and exposure to a diversity of strategies for solving computer programming problems. In this innovative approach, the study purposefully examined how the role of acting as a mentor influenced the mentors' self-efficacy and interest in computer science. Students completed a Social Cognitive Career Theory survey at three time points: before training, after training, and after mentoring. In addition, simple open-ended responses were collected to further explore the intricacies of being a mentor. Despite the study s small sample size, a significant increase in self-efficacy was observed over time, and promising results in regards to interest in computer science.
