Línea de trabajo

Abre workshop/04-github-actions-intro.md y lee el ejercicio “Label a sample workflow” con su bloque “Reveal the labels”. Conserva las cinco líneas de instrucciones, acorta las respuestas de la revelación a términos numerados sin repetir el YAML y añade el elemento de la lista de comprobación. Está hecho cuando las secciones “Try It” y “Checkpoint” permanecen sin cambios y el ejercicio ya no repite cada fragmento.

Descripción

curriculum documentation quality

File: workshop/04-github-actions-intro.md
Overall Score: 5.39 / 10.0 (corpus mean: 6.09)
Corrected Overall Score (after fixing the checkpoint/scaffolding regex bug reported separately): 8.14 / 10.0 — cognitive_load remains the residual gap.

Flagged Dimensions:

Dimension Score Benchmark Delta
cognitive_load 6.8 ≤15 new concepts -3.2 (28 detected concept terms vs. 15 ideal)
active_learning 3.9 density ≥ 3 -2.1 (density 1.19)

Root Cause (≤ 2 sentences):
The concept-density scorer flags 28 distinct bold/code terms — driven largely by the "Label a sample workflow" exercise, which repeats each YAML term (on:, jobs:, runs-on:, uses:, run:) twice: once inline in code and again as a labeled answer in the reveal block, effectively double-counting the same five core Actions primitives as separate concepts.

Evidence (quoted from the file):

"Write a label beside each line:

  1. on: [push]
  2. test: (the job name under jobs:)
  3. runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  4. uses: actions/checkout@v4
  5. run: echo "All checks passed""

Followed immediately by an equivalent second listing in the "Reveal the labels" <details> block — the same five terms restated, which the concept counter treats as additional new vocabulary.

Learning Science Rationale:
Sweller's Cognitive Load Theory distinguishes intrinsic load (task complexity) from extraneous load (how the material is presented). Here the intrinsic complexity is low — five primitives — but redundant restatement of identical terms in two adjacent blocks likely inflates measured concept count without adding new schema for the learner, an example of the redundancy effect, where repeating already-processed information in a new format increases apparent load rather than reinforcing learning.

Improvement Prompt (for an agent):

In workshop/04-github-actions-intro.md, reduce redundant terminology repetition in the "Label a sample workflow" exercise:

1. In the code block under "Label a sample workflow", keep the five numbered lines as-is (this is the active-recall prompt).
2. In the "Reveal the labels" <details> block, shorten each answer line to just "→ **term**" without re-quoting the full YAML snippet, since the snippet is already visible above. For example, change:
   "- `on: [push]` → **trigger** (when this workflow runs)"
   to:
   "1. **trigger** — the event that starts the workflow"
   keeping the numbering aligned with the exercise list above it, so learners aren't shown the same code fragment twice.
3. Add one short interactive checklist item to the exercise itself (e.g., "- [ ] I labeled all 5 lines before revealing the answer") to raise activity_density, since this file currently averages fewer than 4 activity units per 100 words.

Do not remove the Try It real-workflow exploration section or the Checkpoint section.

Expected Score After Fix: ≈8.6 / 10.0 (concept overload reduced from ~28 to ~18-20 detected terms; activity_density raised slightly by the added checklist item, combined with the companion checkpoint/scaffolding regex fix).
