q2 i? In an evaluation study, learning first steps of programming recursive functions in LISP was easier and faster with ELM-PE's cognitive diagnosis and feedback support than with the same environment without that help. → Gerhard Weber & Peter Brusilovsky 2016

q2 · i? · causal · r?

Evaluation study of the ELM-PE programming environment, reported as background to ELM-ART's roots. The article states learning was "easier and faster with the support of ELM-PE" than with the same environment lacking cognitive diagnosis and feedback; the results received a best paper award at ED-Media 1994. No effect size is printed.

"In an evaluation study it could be shown that learning first steps of programming recursive functions in LISP was easier and faster with the support of ELM-PE compared to learning with the same environment, but without help from the cognitive diagnosis and feedback."

• Students performed better in final programming tasks after learning with ELM-ART than with ELM-PE, especially students with lower levels of previous programming knowledge — related
• Being Web-based contributed to ELM-ART's educational effectiveness: it surpassed its locally available predecessor ELM-PE despite a smaller episodic learner model — related
