Kong, Siu-Cheung; Lai, Ming – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2022
The participatory view of learning emphasises students' identity construction. However, identity research in the context of programming education to cultivate students' computational thinking is scarce. In this study, an instrument of computational identity with components of engagement, imagination and affiliation, was developed and validated.…

Kong, Siu-Cheung; Liu, Bowen – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
This study implemented and evaluated the innovative use of a performance-based assessment platform to support the development of self-regulated learning (SRL) in senior primary students as they completed programming tasks. We embedded SRL support features into a performance-based assessment platform as scaffolding to help the students implement…

Kong, Siu-Cheung; Wang, Yi-Qing – Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning, 2019
In response to the call from the founders of the Interest-Driven Creator (IDC) theory, this study aimed to explore the relationship of the interest loop with creativity in the context of robotics education. Specifically, we designed a programmable robotics course for primary school students. We attempted to explore in detail how interest loop,…

Kong, Siu-Cheung; Li, Robert Kwok-Yiu; Kwok, Ron Chi-Wai – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2019
Schools around the globe increasingly realized the importance of technology and its application in the education system. To guarantee a successful educational innovation, schools seek out different parties for valuable opinions. Among them, parents are the important feedback providers, because their attitudes are influential on children's academic…

Kong, Siu-Cheung; Wang, Yi-Qing – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2019
This study aims to establish a robust measurement to obtain a comprehensive understanding of perceptions of programming education (POPE) of teacher and principal groups. In this study, the POPE scale contains three dimensions: (a) understanding in programming (UP), (b) support for programming (SP), and (c) expectation of programming (EP).…
