Abstract

Cooperative learning is an effective way of learning and is critical for programming learning. Through cooperative learning, group members will cooperate with each other, teach each other. Clustering methods in the classroom, students are often grouped by themselves, or teachers are grouped through experience. But is there any more efficient way to clustering students? This study proposes a social network analysis clustering method, with an experimental group and a control group in a freshmen programming course. It was found that there was a significant improvement in learning effectiveness. For female students learn in the programming course, female students were more likely to find other girls for cooperative learning. Female students in the experimental group had better social performance. Judging from the cooperation and interaction of the overall students in the first semester and the second semester, the roommates who live together become a good choice for cooperative learning teammates.
