Seebut, Supot; Wongsason, Patcharee; Kim, Dojin; Putjuso, Thanin; Boonpok, Chawalit – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Simulation modeling is an effective tool for solving problems that cannot be explained analytically or when data cannot be collected. This is done by simulating the observed behavior of a problem under study using a computer program. In math education, this can develop knowledge and fundamental competencies of simulation modeling at a higher level…

Boutnaru, Shlomi; Hershkovitz, Arnon – Interdisciplinary Journal of e-Skills and Lifelong Learning, 2015
In recent years, schools (as well as universities) have added cyber security to their computer science curricula. This topic is still new for most of the current teachers, who would normally have a standard computer science background. Therefore the teachers are trained and then teaching their students what they have just learned. In order to…

Ginat, David – Computer Science Education, 2004
The paper presents a study of novice difficulties with range conceptions in loop design. CS2 students were asked to solve four related enumeration tasks, which required various loop boundary specifications. The student solutions varied considerably in conciseness and efficiency. The solution diversity reveals significant differences in range…
