Direct linkChih-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…

Xinli Zhang; Yuchen Chen; Lailin Hu; Gwo-Jen Hwang; Yun-Fang Tu – International Journal of STEM Education, 2025
Background: In the digital age, fostering young children's computational thinking (CT) and executive functions (EFs) through programming has emerged as a significant research issue. While unplugged programming activities are commonly adopted in preschools, robot programming activities have recently gained attention for the potential to enhance…

Matthew Bahnson; Allison Godwin; Christian Schunn; Eric McChesney; Linda DeAngelo – International Journal of STEM Education, 2025
Background: The demand for engineers in the workforce continues to rise, which requires increased retention and degree completion at the undergraduate level. Engineering educators need to better understand opportunities to retain students in engineering majors. A strong sense of belonging in engineering represents one important contributor to…

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,…
