“…According to a different study [13], males reported greater levels of self-efficacy in Java programming than females did, and students majoring in computer engineering had the highest levels of self-efficacy of any engineering subfield. Tsai et al (2019) observed that, while controlling for prior programming experience, males tended to score higher on the algorithm and debug aspects of programming self-efficacy [77]. However, there was no gender difference in areas of reasoning, self-regulation, or teamwork.…”

“…According to previous studies [15,77], students' self-efficacy in their programming abilities grows as they acquire expertise. Students in computer education areas had their sense of self-efficacy and background knowledge assessed by Mazman and Altun (2013) [77]. They discovered that both the inexperienced and the experienced students' assessments of their own ability to write computer programs improved dramatically after taking the course, with the inexperienced students benefiting more than anybody else in their study [15].…”

“…The self-efficacies of men and women have been observed to vary significantly in several studies [27,77,79]. Previous research found that boys seem to have better STEM experiences than girls [80][81][82].…”

“…Additionally, the web programming self-efficacy (WPSE) survey consisting of 16 questions (6-point Likert scale) was used to investigate students' self-efficacy in web programming. This survey was adapted from the Computer Programming Self-Efficacy Scale (CPSES) including five sub-scales: Logical Thinking, Cooperation, Algorithm, Control, and Debug [77]. The value of Cronbach's alpha of WPSE in this study was 0.972.…”

Computer programming has been included in computer literacy education in many countries in the last decade. This study examined the effects of gender and the prior programming experience of computer programming on academic and web programming self-efficacy and learning performance in the web design course among African American students, as well as their perceptions towards computer programming. This study’s 14-week web design course taught African American students multiple web programming languages, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, in order. A one-group pretest–posttest design was adopted in the experiment. The quantitative method was primarily used in data analysis. This study revealed that African American students’ academic and web programming self-efficacy significantly increased after the web design course. Most of the African American students’ perceptions of computer programming became positive after attending the web design course. This study also found that male African American students had a significantly higher level of web programming self-efficacy than female students before the web design course. Interestingly, this difference disappeared after the course. Additionally, both gender and prior experience in computer programming did not significantly affect students’ learning performance in the web design course. The findings of this study not only contribute to the understanding of the feasibility of teaching multiple programming languages in web programming courses for African American students, they also provide evidence of the positive influence of web programming on African American students’ perceptions of computer programming.
