Novice CS students employ multiple diagram strategies for problem decomposition but encounter common issues in notation, order of execution, abstraction, and encapsulation.
Clover tool and behavioral taxonomy show tab-accept rates linked to lower attention-check scores and dwell time linked to higher scores in AI-assisted programming tasks.
A randomized trial found that a 45-minute prompt-based programming lesson produced modest non-significant performance gains and significant self-efficacy gains compared to code tracing.
Qualitative interview study of 13 students finds AI availability in programming assignments raises perceived costs and lowers motivation for independent effort, while students still prefer learning through struggle.
Oral code reviews and flipped classrooms in introductory CS maintain exam performance while allowing increased AI use in coding assignments.
Among novice programmers using AI code generators, trust did not predict compliance with suggestions, while performance correlated with both compliance and increased subsequent trust.
DURA framework applied in one CS2 course enabled LLM use for concept clarification and debugging while increasing office hour attendance and improving student perceptions of instructor care.
The paper recommends shifting CS education from implementation skills to AI-native competencies, fundamental concepts, and critical evaluation based on workshop consensus.

Fast and Forgettable: A Controlled Study of Novices' Performance, Learning, Workload, and Emotion in AI-Assisted and Human Pair Programming Paradigms
Novices performed better and reported lower workload with GitHub Copilot than with human partners, but human partners produced more positive emotions and a smaller drop in retest performance after one week.
