Austin M. Shin; Ayaan M. Kazerouni – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2024
Background and Context: Students' programming projects are often assessed on the basis of their tests as well as their implementations, most commonly using test adequacy criteria like branch coverage, or, in some cases, mutation analysis. As a result, students are implicitly encouraged to use these tools during their development process (i.e., so…

Sychev, Oleg; Penskoy, Nikita; Anikin, Anton; Denisov, Mikhail; Prokudin, Artem – Education Sciences, 2021
Intelligent tutoring systems have become increasingly common in assisting students but are often aimed at isolated subject-domain tasks without creating a scaffolding system from lower- to higher-level cognitive skills, with low-level skills often neglected. We designed and developed an intelligent tutoring system, CompPrehension, which aims to…

Heinsen Egan, Matthew; McDonald, Chris – Computer Science Education, 2021
Background and Context: Students learning the C programming language struggle to debug, and to understand the runtime behaviour of, their programs. Objective: We examine a tool that combines several novice-focused error detection, program visualization, and debugging techniques, to investigate which features students use in real study sessions,…
