Comparative Analysis of Students’ Perceptions of Programming Puzzles: Parson’s and Wordle-Like
IEEE Access. 2026. Vol. 14. P. 37487–37508.
Puzzles are an excellent tool for learning computer science and programming, fostering increased interest, engagement, and motivation among students, as well as developing logical, critical, and computational thinking. Among beginner programmers, Parson's Programming Puzzles are quite popular, aimed at mastering the basic syntactic and logical constructs of programming languages. However, as students' skills grow, their interest in Parson's puzzles may decline. In such cases, it is necessary to use other types of puzzles. Word puzzles contribute to the development of vocabulary, working memory, and other cognitive abilities, making them useful supplements to the learning process. We adapted the game "Wordle" and created Wordle-like Programming Puzzles. These puzzles were deployed on a chatbot system. The study focuses on a comparative analysis of students' perception of Wordle-like Programming Puzzles and Parson's Programming Puzzles in terms of interest, difficulty, and usefulness. The experiment was conducted among first-year university students studying the Python programming language. Using the elbow method, we identified four clusters. In each of the clusters we analyzed the interest, difficulty, and perceived usefulness of the puzzles, as well as the students' background and current academic performance. Our results showed that students' backgrounds significantly influence their perception of both PP and WP. Students with low programming skills level tend to show greater interest in PP, while students with high skills level prefer WP. We also noted that in clusters where there is a high interest in WP, the level of interest in PP is generally low, and vice versa. Overall, the perception scores for WP were higher than those for PP.

Статья является продолжением предыдущей статьи авторов, в которой строится абстрактная модель распределенной сети, содержащей только хосты и коммутаторы. Хосты предлагают пользователям пакеты определенных услуг (сервисов), сообщения (запросы) между хостами пересылаются через промежуточные узлы по правилам коммутации, и настройка узлов определяет множество путей от хоста к хосту, по которым будут пересылаться пакеты. Ситуация моделируется с использованием ...

In this paper, the problem of distributed network survivability is investigated. A distributed system is modeled by a finite connected undirected graph the nodes of which are divided into two types: hosts and switches. Hosts perform computational functions, while switches are used for message passing between hosts. The survivability of the system is understood as ...

Исследуется проблема живучести распределенных сетей. Распределенная система моделируется конечным связным неориентированным графом, вершины которого делятся на два типа: хосты и коммутаторы. Хосты выполняют вычислительные функции, а коммутаторы обеспечивают доставку сообщений между хостами. Под живучестью системы понимается ее способность выполнять свои основные функции по передаче сообщений после выхода из строя некоторых ребер графа. Решение проблемы живучести ...

The collective dynamics of spiking networks of neurons has been of central interest to both computational
neuroscience and network science. Over the past years, a new generation of neural
population models based on exact reductions (ER) of spiking networks have been developed.
However, most of these efforts have been limited to networks of neurons with simple dynamics

Master’s education is now an integral part of higher education systems in almost every country. Yet this common designation encompasses a wide variety of programmes serving different purposes. Why has the two-cycle bachelor’s–master’s model become so widespread and enduring? The report argues that the key to the success of master’s education lies in its institutional ...

While Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized NLP, they remain prone to hallucinations, reasoning “mode-collapse” in open-ended generation, and a lack of factual provenance. The Automated Knowledge Base Construction (AKBC) workshop addresses a key missing piece of the generative era: structured knowledge. Knowledge Bases (KBs) serve as ground truth for fact verification, the semantic backbone ...

The concept of representative volume (REV, or RVE in material sciences) is the cornerstone of continuum scale models – one needs to get the volume big enough so that it could be represented with an averaged value (scalar, vector or tensorial, etc.). While REV should be established in all larger scale simulations, this is rarely ...

Abstract
Safety-aligned language models often encode that a request is harmful yet still comply with it. We turn this gap between internal recognition and observable behavior into an inference-time defense. The proposed activation-steering method uses a multiplicative operator that amplifies the residual-stream component along a harm-recognition direction. Intervention strength scales with the model’s own assessment of ...
