Peng Chen; Dong Yang; Jia Zhao; Shu Yang; Jari Lavonen – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Computational thinking (CT) refers to the ability to represent problems, design solutions and migrate solutions computationally. While previous studies have shown that self-explanation can enhance students' learning, few empirical studies have examined the effects of using different self-explanation prompts to cultivate students' CT…

Umar Alkafaween; Ibrahim Albluwi; Paul Denny – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Automatically graded programming assignments provide instant feedback to students and significantly reduce manual grading time for instructors. However, creating comprehensive suites of test cases for programming problems within automatic graders can be time-consuming and complex. The effort needed to define test suites may deter some…

Charlotte Pierce; Clinton J. Woodward; Andrew Trevillian; Q. Tien Pham – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
Capstone courses, where students work on a large group project at the end of their degree, are common in computing. Many accreditation and industry bodies explicitly require or recommend them. Over the past two decades, capstone courses specifically focused on game development have become increasingly popular. Game development offers students the…

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,…

Yabing Jiang; Kazuo Nakatani – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2025
This research answers the call for Information Systems (IS) faculty to actively embrace rapidly advancing AI tools in teaching. We experimented with redesigning learning activities in two courses, requiring students to use GenAI, to aid student learning and teach responsible use of GenAI. The results show that students in the experimental group…
