Toward Inclusive Programming Support for Novice Programmers with Dyslexia: Insights from a Comparative Study

Programming attracts a diverse range of learners, including individuals with dyslexia, a learning difficulty that affects reading, writing, and spelling despite average intelligence and educational opportunities. Although prior work has examined dyslexia in natural-language and code comprehension, we still know little...

CogAdapt: Cognition-informed Sparse Adaptation of Code LLMs

Large language models (LLMs) have become increasingly capable of generating code. However, achieving stronger code-generation performance still often relies on costly model adaptation, i.e., fine-tuning pretrained model parameters. Prior studies have shown correspondence between human code processing and neural models'...

Novices Comprehending Functional vs. Imperative Programs: An Eye-Tracking Study

An eye-tracking study with 49 novice programmers to compare how they comprehend FP (Racket) and IP (C++) during tasks and offers insights to inform tools, pedagogy, and strategies for making Racket and related FP instruction more approachable in similar educational settings.

SCOPE: Leveraging Subgoal Critiques for Code Generation

SCOPE is presented, a prover-initialized subgoal critic for code generation that adapts a Lean-oriented prover model to produce three parseable feedback fields for downstream code generation: subgoals, gap analysis, and a robustness checklist.
