Chuechote, Suparat; Nokkaew, Artorn; Phongsasithorn, Apichat; Laosinchai, Parames – Contemporary Educational Technology, 2020
Sorting is a fundamental computing concept. As for today, it is taught at the secondary school level. However, this kind of algorithm is an obstacle for some students due to its high level of abstraction. To prevent discouragement as well as to incorporate a fun and challenging algorithmic task, a novel tablet-based digital game,…

Theodoropoulos, Anastasios; Antoniou, Angeliki; Lepouras, George – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2017
Is there any relationship between students' cognitive style and the ability to learn programming through serious games? The aim of this work is to assess the learning effectiveness and motivational appeal of digital games for learning basic programming concepts, involving secondary education students. For this purpose, the Code.org®'s activity…

Benotti, Luciana; Martinez, Maria Cecilia; Schapachnik, Fernando – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2018
In this paper we present a software platform called Chatbot designed to introduce high school students to Computer Science (CS) concepts in an innovative way: by programming chatbots. A chatbot is a bot that can be programmed to have a conversation with a human or robotic partner in some natural language such as English or Spanish. While…
