Vieira, Camilo; Magana, Alejandra J.; Falk, Michael L.; Garcia, R. Edwin – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2017
This article presents two case studies aimed at exploring the use of self-explanations in the context of computational science and engineering (CSE) education. The self-explanations were elicited as students' in-code comments of a set of worked-examples, and the cases involved two different approaches to CSE education: glass box and black box. The…

Magana, Alejandra J.; Falk, Michael L.; Reese, Michael J., Jr. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2013
This article investigates the effectiveness of a course employing a discipline-based computing approach. The research questions driving this study were: (1) Can experiences with discipline-based computing promote students' acquisition and application of foundational computing concepts and procedures? (2) How do students perceive and experience the…
