Lukkarinen, Aleksi; Malmi, Lauri; Haaranen, Lassi – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2021
During the past two decades, "event-driven programming" (EDP) has emerged as a central and almost ubiquitous concept in modern software development: Graphical user interfaces are self-evident in most mobile and web-based applications, as well as in many embedded systems, and they are most often based on reacting to events. To facilitate…

Hosseini, Roya; Akhuseyinoglu, Kamil; Brusilovsky, Peter; Malmi, Lauri; Pollari-Malmi, Kerttu; Schunn, Christian; Sirkiä, Teemu – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2020
This research is focused on how to support students' acquisition of program construction skills through worked examples. Although examples have been consistently proven to be valuable for student's learning, the learning technology for computer science education lacks program construction examples with interactive elements that could engage…

Taherkhani, Ahmad; Malmi, Lauri – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2013
In this paper, we present a method for recognizing algorithms from students programming submissions coded in Java. The method is based on the concept of "programming schemas" and "beacons". Schemas are high-level programming knowledge with detailed knowledge abstracted out, and beacons are statements that imply specific…

Sorva, Juha; Karavirta, Ville; Malmi, Lauri – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2013
This article is a survey of program visualization systems intended for teaching beginners about the runtime behavior of computer programs. Our focus is on generic systems that are capable of illustrating many kinds of programs and behaviors. We inclusively describe such systems from the last three decades and review findings from their empirical…

Taherkhani, Ahmad; Korhonen, Ari; Malmi, Lauri – Computer Science Education, 2012
In this study, we examined freshmen students' sorting algorithm implementations in data structures and algorithms' course in two phases: at the beginning of the course before the students received any instruction on sorting algorithms, and after taking a lecture on sorting algorithms. The analysis revealed that many students have insufficient…

Sorva, Juha; Lönnberg, Jan; Malmi, Lauri – Computer Science Education, 2013
Visual program simulation (VPS) is a new, interactive form of educational program visualisation, in which learners use graphical controls to direct a program's execution rather than simply watching an animation of it. In this article, we report on a qualitative empirical study of novice programmers learning through VPS. From an analysis of…

Seppala, Otto; Malmi, Lauri; Korhonen, Ari – Computer Science Education, 2006
Data structures and algorithms are core issues in computer programming. However, learning them is challenging for most students and many of them have various types of misconceptions on how algorithms work. In this study, we discuss the problem of identifying misconceptions on the principles of how algorithms work. Our context is algorithm…
