Dear colleague.
A few weeks ago we asked for your cooperation in our research project on
pedagogical methods in teaching introductory programming.
The first deadline for our questionnaire was 16th January. Unfortunately we
did not receive enough answers, so we have extended the time limit for
answers to 1st February as we thought the past holiday season may have
decreased interest.
We want to thank all who already have answered! Still we need a lot of
answers in order to reach statistical reliability and we rely on your
willingness of cooperation - this investigation is highly important for our
research. All necessary information can be found from the original message
below. We would also appreciate it if you could forward this message to all
your colleagues that you feel are suitable participants.
We deeply apologise for possible crossposting.
Saja, Petri and Pauli

Dear CS teacher
We are asking for your cooperation in a research project on
pedagogical methods in teaching introductory programming. We have
developed a concept called "roles of variables" that formalizes
intuitive concepts that you may have used in teaching novices. This
concept has been successfully applied in procedural programming and
now we are transferring it to object-oriented programming.
The estimated time required to complete this task is 40-50 minutes.
During this time, you will learn the role concept, train yourself to
recognize roles, and provide us invaluable information about the role
classification.
The material is web-based and may be found at:
http://cs.joensuu.fi/~ooroles/oo-role-survey/
Your answers will be automatically submitted to us by email.
You may perform the tasks anonymously, but if you are willing to
supply your name and email address, we will be happy to send you any
reports and articles based on this research. Your identity will be
kept confidential in any case.
We would appreciate it if you could complete the questionnaire by
16th January 2005. Thank you for your willingness to participate in
this project!
