Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the pair programming technique on student success in a primary school setting. The research was conducted at Mustafa Kemal Ataturk Primary School in Gostivar, Macedonia, using data from the e-Dnevnik1 database. This study involved two groups: Group 1, where pair programming was applied, and Group 2, acting as a control without this intervention. Both groups underwent pre- and post-intervention tests to evaluate their programming proficiency. The results revealed that the initial programming proficiency levels were comparable across the groups. The acceptance of the null hypothesis in the preintervention phase indicated the similarity of the groups before the pair programming technique was introduced. In the post-intervention analysis, while the null hypothesis showed comparable results, a deeper exploration revealed a significant difference in success rates between the two
groups post-implementation. These findings suggest that the pair programming technique positively influences student success. The study contributes insights into innovative teaching methods and their potential impact on student outcomes.
