Patrick Bijsmans; Jeanine de Bruin; Afke Groen – European Journal of Higher Education, 2025
The transition from high school to university often amounts to a muddled process, making it both an exciting and challenging time for many undergraduate students. Integrating both academically and socially is key in this respect. Social support from peers and teaching staff, but also from family and friends, can have a decisive impact. A learning…

Markus Knöpfel; Marco Kalz; Patric Meyer – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2024
Future students are confronted with a complex world that demands the ability to solve problems in unstructured, undefined, and unfamiliar situations. The aim of the present study was to investigate the development of problem-solving skills through the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL). While previous research has primarily focused on…

Grethe Sandstrak; Bjorn Klefstad; Arne Styve; Kiran Raja – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Teaching programming efficiently to students in the first year of computer science education is challenging. It is especially cumbersome to retain the interest of both groups, when the student group consists of novice (i.e., those who have never programmed before) and expert programmers in the same crowd. Thus, individualized teaching cannot be…

Mark Vincent Huerta; Susan Sajadi; Lisa Schibelius; Olivia Jane Ryan; Marin Fisher – Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
Background: Developing teamwork skills is a central objective of engineering education. Psychological safety and conflict management are pivotal components of teamwork, yet despite their significance, research in engineering project-based learning (PBL) contexts is scant. Understanding students' experiences with psychological safety and its…

Joyce Vogel; Dan Bouhnik – European Journal of Education, 2024
Introduction to Computer Science is traditionally the first course that all computer science and software engineering majors take. The course introduces many problem-solving techniques which can be challenging for many freshman students. In order to mitigate some of the issues of this course, we, at the Higher Education Institute, introduced a new…
