Abstract

Pair-programming, as one of the 12 practices in extreme programming, has been used more and more often in educational settings. Although some studies have been conducted and pair-programming was found in these studies more effective for students to learn programming, very few studies have focused on the interactions within the pair during the pair-programming process. The study reported in this paper seeks to better understand the learner's activities by taking a closer look at the interactions between the pair from a socio-cultural perspective.
