| CodeStruct is a structured editor that includes: → a context-aware toolbox of explorable tutorials → allows point-and-click + char-by-char code insertions → automatically handles syntax → provides immediate feedback + suggestions while coding → provides visual aids: holes + scope We also evaluated CodeStruct in an 11-session study with 26 high school students. Some of the results: → Transitioning to CodeStruct reduced syntax errors (4.35x) and help requests (4.63x) when compared to transitioning directly to Python. → Interestingly, learners that used CodeStruct performed equally well after the scaffolds were removed.
