novice programmer behavior

I am interested in how novices use programming tools. Along with colleagues at the Ateneo de Manila and Worcester Polytechnic, we have explored the behavior of novice programmers as they wrestle with the challenging task of writing syntactically correct programs. This work links behavior to affect, and hope to develop tools to better support teachers and students learning to program.
