Concurrent and parallel programming (CPP) is an increasingly importantsubject in Computer Science Education. However, the conceptual shift fromsequential programming is notoriously difficult to make. Currently, relativelylittle research exists on how people learn CPP core concepts. This paperpresents our results of using Parallel, an educational game about CPP, focusingon the learners' self-efficacy and how they learn CPP concepts. Based on astudy of 44 undergraduate students, our research shows that (a) self-efficacyincreased significantly after playing the game; (b) the problem-solvingstrategies employed by students playing the game can be classified in threemain types: trial and error, single-thread, and multi-threaded strategies, and(c) that self-efficacy is correlated with the percentage of time students spendin multithreaded problem-solving.
