Sjors Verstege; Yingbin Zhang; Peter Wierenga; Luc Paquette; Julia Diederen – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2024
In natural science education, experiments often lead to the collection of raw data that need to be processed into results by doing calculations. Teaching students how to approach such calculations can be done using digital learning materials that provide guidance. The goal of this study was to investigate students' behaviour regarding the use of…

Andreas Lichtenberger; Tommi Kokkonen; Lennart Schalk – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Multiple external representations (MERs) are useful for teaching complex content in science education. An open question is whether there is an especially effective way to sequence MERs. On the one hand, the so-called concreteness fading approach suggests starting instruction with more concrete representations and proceeding stepwise to more…

Lauren E. Margulieux; Yin-Chan Liao; Erin Anderson; Miranda C. Parker; Brendan D. Calandra – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2024
Integrated computing curricula combine learning objectives in computing with those in another discipline, like literacy, math, or science, to give all students experience with computing, typically before they must decide whether to take standalone CS courses. One goal of integrated computing curricula is to provide an accessible path to an…
