Irem Nur Çelik; Kati Bati – Informatics in Education, 2025
In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of cooperative learning on the computational thinking skills and academic performances of middle school students in the computational problem-solving approach. We used the pretest-posttest control group design of the quasiexperimental method. In the research, computational problem-solving…

Garcia, Fabrício Wickey da Silva; Oliveira, Sandro Ronaldo Bezerra; Carvalho, Elielton da Costa – Informatics in Education, 2023
The contents taught in the programming subjects have a great relevance in the formation of computing students. However, these subjects are characterized by high failure rates, as they require logical reasoning and mathematical knowledge. Thus, establishing knowledge through the subject of algorithms can help students to overcome these difficulties…

A Necessity-Driven Ride on the Abstraction Rollercoaster of CS1 Programming
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Sbaraglia, Marco; Lodi, Michael; Martini, Simone – Informatics in Education, 2021
Introductory programming courses (CS1) are difficult for novices. Inspired by "Problem solving followed by instruction" and "Productive Failure" approaches, we define an original "necessity-driven" learning design. Students are put in an apparently well-known situation, but this time they miss an essential ingredient…

Dowdall, Shane; Hlobaz, Artur; Milczarski, Piotr; O'Reilly, Derek; Podlaski, Krzysztof; Stawska, Zofia – Informatics in Education, 2021
The development of communication and other soft skills among computer science students is not usually an easy task. Often, curricula focus on technical skills, with team projects being used for the improvement of communication skills. However, these teams usually comprise solely of computer science students. In this paper, we present a didactical…

von Wangenheim, Christiane Gresse; Hauck, Jean C. R.; Demetrio, Matheus Faustino; Pelle, Rafael; da Cruz Alves, Nathalia; Barbosa, Heliziane; Azevedo, Luiz Felipe – Informatics in Education, 2018
The development of computational thinking is a major topic in K-12 education. Many of these experiences focus on teaching programming using block-based languages. As part of these activities, it is important for students to receive feedback on their assignments. Yet, in practice it may be difficult to provide personalized, objective and consistent…
