Scratch is widely used as an introductory educational tool for computer programming. However, little is known about how the action of adding favorite projects on Scratch social media influences programming skill improvement. On Scratch social media, learners select personally intriguing projects to view and learn from. Favorite projects both…

Dan Sun; Chee-Kit Looi; Yan Li; Chengcong Zhu; Caifeng Zhu; Miaoting Cheng – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
In the current era where computational literacy holds significant relevance, a growing number of schools across the globe have placed emphasis on K-12 programming education. This field of education primarily comprises two distinct modalities--the block-based programming modality (BPM) and the text-based programming modality (TPM). Previous…

Fu, Qian; Zheng, Yafeng; Zhang, Mengyao; Zheng, Lanqin; Zhou, Junyi; Xie, Bochao – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
Providing appropriate feedback is important when learning to program. However, it is still unclear how different feedback strategies affect learning outcomes in programming. This study designed four different two-step programming feedback strategies and explored their impact on novice programmers' academic achievement, learning motivations, and…

Jiang, Bo; Zhao, Wei; Gu, Xiaoqing; Yin, Chengjiu – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
Social learning theory posits that learning is most effective when providing learners with opportunities to observe and interact with peers. Unfortunately, current K-12 programming education overemphasizes individual learning and discourages learners from observing and interacting with others. The Scratch online community provides youth…

Socratous, Chrysanthos; Ioannou, Andri – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
The study aims to compare the effect of a structured versus an unstructured educational robotics (ER) curriculum on (a) the frequency and type of programming errors made by students in block-based programming, (b) their ability to debug a programme, and (c) their engagement in the learning process. The authors' hypothesis is that, in programming…

Ma, Hongliang; Zhao, Mei; Wang, Huixin; Wan, Xinqi; Cavanaugh, Terence W.; Liu, Ji – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
Computational thinking (CT) is a fundamental skill and an analytical ability that children in the twenty-first century should develop. Students should begin to work with algorithmic problem-solving and computational methods in K-12. Drawing on a conceptual framework (IGGIA) that combines CT and problem-solving, this study designed and implemented…
