Wei Zhang; Xinyao Zeng; Lingling Song – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Computational thinking (CT) assessment is crucial for testing the effectiveness of CT skills development. However, the exploration of CT assessment in the context of text-based programming is in its initial stages. The intrinsic relationship between the core skills of text-based programming and the core elements of CT isn't analyzed in depth in…

Jesús E. Hernández-Zavaleta; Corey Brady; Sandra Becker; Douglas B. Clark – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2025
Research on geometric transformations suggests that early learners possess intuitive understandings grounded in motion metaphors, transitioning to mappings. The processes through which students transition between these two conceptions are not fully understood. We propose that Vygotskian hybridizing (related to Vygotsky's articulation of everyday…

Nichole Orench-Rivera; April Bednarski; Paul Craig; Austin Talbot – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2025
Advancements in computation and machine learning have revolutionized science, enabling researchers to address once insurmountable challenges. Bioinformatics, a field that heavily relies on computer-driven analysis of biological data, has greatly benefited from these developments. However, traditional bioinformatics instruction frequently lacks the…

G. Puttick; M. Cassidy; E. Tucker-Raymond; G. M. Troiano; C. Harteveld – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Much research attention has been focused on learning through game playing. However, very little has been focused on student learning through game making, especially in science. Moreover, none of the studies on learning through making games has presented an account of how students engage in the process of game design in real time. The present study…

Leonardo D. Garma; Nuno S. Osório – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
Dimensionality reduction techniques are essential in analyzing large 'omics' datasets in biochemistry and molecular biology. Principal component analysis, t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding, and uniform manifold approximation and projection are commonly used for data visualization. However, these methods can be challenging for students…

Justin Gambrell; Eric Brewe – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Computational thinking in physics has many different forms, definitions, and implementations depending on the level of physics or the institution it is presented in. To better integrate computational thinking in introductory physics, we need to understand what physicists find important about computational thinking in introductory physics. We…
