Experimental Task
Here's an initial design that Sukanya, Teerawat, and I thought of:
Experimental Task
- Subject
- Expert – 5 years in java web development
- Novice – Knows something about web development and java
- Do
- Existing program one read and understand
- Do java bean + jdbc application
- Structure of the program
- Java doc
- Requirements
- Reuse subjects or different subjects -- if yes, we have to find application with different domain (it's depends on how we assume the novice to be)
- Read - half and hour to an hour
- Expect
- Novice take longer time to comprehend, but may take less time to explain to novice. However, novice-expert might take less time than expert-novice
- Experts take less time to comprehend, but take more time to explain to novice and even to expert
- Expert may know better place to find information. Novice may only know Google.
- Expert strategy is more structure
- Measure
- Time used
- Questions they ask about
- Information that explainers choose to explain
- Information explainers choose to exclude
- Strategy subjects used to understand the program and problem - what are method they use, what are information they need to find out.
- How they search for information - search string, website that they go
