Josh Tenenberg; Donald Chinn – Computer Science Education, 2025
Background and context: We address the question of what computer science students take the discipline to be. How students conceive the discipline can influence whether a student pursues computer science, what particular area within computer science they focus on and whether they persist in the discipline. In this paper, we examine the epistemic…

Leah Bidlake; Eric Aubanel; Daniel Voyer – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
Research on mental model representations developed by programmers during parallel program comprehension is important for informing and advancing teaching methods including model-based learning and visualizations. The goals of the research presented here were to determine: how the mental models of programmers change and develop as they learn…

Manuel B. Garcia – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
The global shortage of skilled programmers remains a persistent challenge. High dropout rates in introductory programming courses pose a significant obstacle to graduation. Previous studies highlighted learning difficulties in programming students, but their specific weaknesses remained unclear. This gap exists due to the predominant focus on the…

Atharva Naik; Jessica Ruhan Yin; Anusha Kamath; Qianou Ma; Sherry Tongshuang Wu; R. Charles Murray; Christopher Bogart; Majd Sakr; Carolyn P. Rose – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2025
The relative effectiveness of reflection either through student generation of contrasting cases or through provided contrasting cases is not well-established for adult learners. This paper presents a classroom study to investigate this comparison in a college level Computer Science (CS) course where groups of students worked collaboratively to…

Shao-Heng Ko; Kristin Stephens-Martinez – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
Background: Academic help-seeking benefits students' achievement, but existing literature either studies important factors in students' selection of all help resources via self-reported surveys or studies their help-seeking behavior in one or two separate help resources via actual help-seeking records. Little is known about whether computing…

Yoana Omarchevska; Anouschka van Leeuwen; Tim Mainhard – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2025
In the flipped classroom, students engage in preparatory activities to study the course materials prior to attending teacher-guided sessions. Students' success in the flipped classroom is directly related to their preparation and students tend to change their preparation activity over time. Few studies have investigated why students change their…

Mark Frydenberg; Anqi Xu; Jennifer Xu – Information Systems Education Journal, 2025
This study explores student perceptions of learning to code by evaluating AI-generated Python code. In an experimental exercise given to students in an introductory Python course at a business university, students wrote their own solutions to a Python program and then compared their solutions with AI-generated code. They evaluated both solutions…

Giulia Toti; Lei Si; David Daniels; Matin Amoozadeh; Mohammad Amin Alipour; Guoning Chen – Discover Education, 2025
In May 2020, about 2 months after countless institutions across the world resorted to moving all their courses online in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted a survey to evaluate the impact of this transition on a group of computer science students. That first survey highlighted mostly negative effects, with students struggling to…

Linda J. Sax – Journal of The First-Year Experience & Students in Transition, 2025
Although the process of inquiry is guided by questions, the result is rarely a clear answer. Instead, deep investigation--despite producing data, results, and evidence--ultimately results in a lot more questions. The author, rather than feeling disillusioned by that reality, has come to accept it as the cyclical nature of research. For more than…

Jeff Hanson; Blair Taylor; Siddharth Kaza – Information Systems Education Journal, 2025
Cybersecurity content is typically taught and assessed using Bloom's Taxonomy to ensure that students acquire foundational and higher-order knowledge. In this study we show that when students are given the objectives written in the form of a competency-based statements, students have a more clearly defined outcome and are be able to exhibit their…

Jennifer M. Blaney; Theresa E. Hernandez; Annie M. Wofford; David F. Feldon – Review of Higher Education, 2025
There are currently too few computer science faculty to meet student demand, and faculty from historically minoritized groups are severely underrepresented. Expanding pathways from community colleges to PhDs is one critical avenue to both grow and diversify the computer science professoriate that has been underexplored. To gain insight into these…
