Andra Antal-Berbecaru; Alexia Larchen Costuchen; Soumyabrata Dev – Computers in the Schools, 2024
This paper is about the development of a gamified application tailored to Generation Z (population born between 1997 and 2012) as an alternative to the text-based LimeSurvey (formerly PHPSurveyor). The study was conducted among students from the Department of Computer Science at University College Dublin. Data were analyzed from the perspectives…

Price, C. B.; Price-Mohr, R. M. – Computers in the Schools, 2018
All primary school children in England are required to write computer programs and learn about computational thinking. There are moves in other countries to this effect such as the U.S. K-12 Computer Science Framework (CSF) for development. Debates on how to program and what constitutes computational thinking are ongoing. Here we report on a study…

Lee, Ahlam – Computers in the Schools, 2020
Concerning the underrepresentation of female students in computer science (CS) classes at the K-12 level and math-intensive STEM fields, this study investigated the relationship between female students earning less credits in CS courses during high school and their STEM major choices. Data were drawn from a nationally representative sample of U.S.…

Fouh, Eric; Akbar, Monika; Shaffer, Clifford A. – Computers in the Schools, 2012
Computer science core instruction attempts to provide a detailed understanding of dynamic processes such as the working of an algorithm or the flow of information between computing entities. Such dynamic processes are not well explained by static media such as text and images, and are difficult to convey in lecture. The authors survey the history…

Tappert, Charles C.; Stix, Allen – Computers in the Schools, 2010
At Pace University we have been using real-world student projects in capstone computing courses for about 10 years. While the courses were conducted in a traditional classroom environment during the early years, the current course has been essentially online for the last five years in order to reach a greater number of geographically scattered…
