Brayan Díaz; Collin Lynch; Cesar Delgado; Kevin Han – International Journal of STEM Education, 2025
Background: This paper describes research into two pedagogical approaches to foster transdisciplinarity in a graduate engineering course that involves education and computer science. Leveraging the Communities of Practice framework, we examine how students majoring in computer science can integrate new knowledge from education and computer science…

Hongliang Ma; Yuhan Dong; Bin Jing; Yu Zeng; Jinmei Sun – International Journal of STEM Education, 2025
Background: With the growing emphasis on computer science (CS) education in K-12 schools, numerous professional development (PD) programs for in-service CS teachers (CS-PD) have been implemented over the past decades. However, there is a lack of systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of these CS-PD programs. To address…

Chih-Ming Chen; Ming-Yan Huang – International Journal of STEM Education, 2024
Background: Computational thinking (CT) is crucial to fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Many elementary schools have been cultivating students' CT through block-based programming languages such as Scratch using traditional teacher-centered teaching methods. However, the approach excessively relies on teacher lectures, so the…

Guangrui Fan; Dandan Liu; Rui Zhang; Lihu Pan – International Journal of STEM Education, 2025
Purpose: This study investigates the impact of AI-assisted pair programming on undergraduate students' intrinsic motivation, programming anxiety, and performance, relative to both human-human pair programming and individual programming approaches. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was conducted over two academic years (2023-2024) with 234…

Anastasia M. Schauer; Jessie Liu; Christopher Saldaña; Katherine Fu – International Journal of STEM Education, 2025
Background: Even among women who persist in the gender-imbalanced engineering fields, women on engineering design teams tend to take on non-technical roles. Understanding the mechanisms that inform this phenomenon is important for encouraging more women in STEM in order to close the gender gap. Although factors such as self-efficacy, task…

Zhizezhang Gao; Haochen Yan; Jiaqi Liu; Xiao Zhang; Yuxiang Lin; Yingzhi Zhang; Xia Sun; Jun Feng – International Journal of STEM Education, 2025
Background: With the increasing interdisciplinarity between computer science (CS) and other fields, a growing number of non-CS students are embracing programming. However, there is a gap in research concerning differences in programming learning between CS and non-CS students. Previous studies predominantly relied on outcome-based assessments,…
