Mohammed Ahmed Kofahi; Anas Jebreen Atyeh Husain – Journal of Information Technology Education: Research, 2025
Aim/Purpose: In this study, we propose an AI technology-based learning model using ChatGPT and investigate its effect on students' higher-order thinking (HOT) ability in an operating systems (OS) course. Background: A critical requirement for IT and engineering students is supporting them in understanding advanced OS concepts and fostering their…

Lane, Suzanne; Banuazizi, Atissa; Effron, Malcah; Roldan, Leslie; Ruff, Susan; Stickgold-Sarah, Jessie; Trice, Michael; Karatsolis, Andreas – Across the Disciplines, 2022
Studies have shown that students learning to write in engineering fields struggle to integrate subject matter and communication expertise, and that STEM faculty's communication knowledge often remains tacit, rather than being explicitly taught to students. Here we show a method for eliciting and revealing tacit communication knowledge using what…

Kynigos, Chronis; Grizioti, Marianthi – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2020
Although there is wide rhetoric that programming should be learnt by all as an element of computational thinking (CT), in practice, it is mostly implemented narrowly as an end in itself consisting of routine practice and traditional testing of the ability to code. This paper discusses a way in which programming could be seen through a wider…

Good, Jonathon; Keenan, Sarah; Mishra, Punya – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2016
The popular press is rife with examples of how students in the United States and around the globe are learning to program, make, and tinker. The Hour of Code, maker-education, and similar efforts are advocating that more students be exposed to principles found within computer science. We propose an expansion beyond simply teaching computational…
