Abstract

Mutual evaluation of students’ work is an educational strategy recently investigated by educational professionals. It can be implemented into the programming teaching in the form of code review. As supported by several studies, this activity can help substantially improve the program code and increase its development efficiency. Moreover, it can provide students with various benefits, such as soft skills development, streamlining their learning, promotion of social learning, and so on. In this paper, we present partial results from our research on using code review in informatics classes at secondary school.
