Garces, Sebastian; Vieira, Camilo; Ravai, Guity; Magana, Alejandra J. – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Worked examples can help novice learners develop early schemata from an expert's solution to a problem. Nonetheless, the worked examples themselves are no guarantee that students will explore these experts' solutions effectively. This study explores two different approaches to supporting engineering technology students' learning in an…

Grethe Sandstrak; Bjorn Klefstad; Arne Styve; Kiran Raja – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Teaching programming efficiently to students in the first year of computer science education is challenging. It is especially cumbersome to retain the interest of both groups, when the student group consists of novice (i.e., those who have never programmed before) and expert programmers in the same crowd. Thus, individualized teaching cannot be…

Vincenti, Giovanni – Informatics in Education, 2022
Preparing students for the workforce is a balancing act that involves theory, practice, and assessment. As students navigate an educational experience that is, however, often distant from real-world needs, it is imperative that academia finds a novel way to bridge the gap. As many organizations utilize open challenges to attract ideas and talent,…

Joyce Vogel; Dan Bouhnik – European Journal of Education, 2024
Introduction to Computer Science is traditionally the first course that all computer science and software engineering majors take. The course introduces many problem-solving techniques which can be challenging for many freshman students. In order to mitigate some of the issues of this course, we, at the Higher Education Institute, introduced a new…

Garcia, Fabrício Wickey da Silva; Oliveira, Sandro Ronaldo Bezerra; Carvalho, Elielton da Costa – Informatics in Education, 2023
The contents taught in the programming subjects have a great relevance in the formation of computing students. However, these subjects are characterized by high failure rates, as they require logical reasoning and mathematical knowledge. Thus, establishing knowledge through the subject of algorithms can help students to overcome these difficulties…
