Flanigan, Abraham E.; Peteranetz, Markeya S.; Shell, Duane F.; Soh, Leen-Kiat – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2022
Two studies investigated change in computer science (CS) students' implicit intelligence beliefs. Across both studies, we found that the strength of incremental and entity beliefs changed across time. In Study 1, we found that incremental beliefs decreased and entity beliefs increased across the semester. Change in implicit intelligence beliefs…

Peteranetz, Markeya S.; Soh, Leen-Kiat; Shell, Duane F.; Flanigan, Abraham E. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2021
Contribution: This article presents a synthesis of the findings and implications from the IC2Think program of research in undergraduate computer science (CS) courses examining student motivation and self-regulated learning (SRL). These studies illuminate both the difficulty and potential for motivating CS students, as well as the uniqueness of CS…

Wang, Shiyuan; Shell, Duane F.; Flanigan, Abraham; Peteranetz, Markeya; Soh, Leen-Kiat – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
The purpose of the present study was to investigate how inclusion of computational creativity exercises (CCE) based on Epstein's Generativity Theory (1996, 2005; Epstein, Schmidt, & Warel, 2008) in post-secondary computer science [CS] courses affected students' class grades, learning of computational thinking and CS knowledge, self-efficacy,…

Peteranetz, Markeya S.; Flanigan, Abraham E.; Shell, Duane F.; Soh, Leen-Kiat – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2018
Contribution: This paper provides evidence that computational creativity exercises (CCEs) can increase engineering students' learning in introductory computer science (CS1) courses. Its main contribution is its more rigorous treatment/control group research design that allows testing for causal influences of CCEs on student learning and…

Peteranetz, Markeya S.; Flanigan, Abraham E.; Shell, Duane F.; Soh, Leen-Kiat – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2017
Computational thinking and creative thinking are valuable tools both within and outside of computer science (CS). The goal of the project discussed here is to increase students' achievement in CS courses through a series of computational creativity exercises (CCEs). In this paper, the framework of CCEs is described, and the results of two separate…
