This study investigates the effectiveness of a culturo-techno-contextual approach (CTCA) in teaching flowcharts and algorithms to junior secondary school students. Despite their importance in programming, these concepts are often difficult for students to grasp. The study involved 196 students (average age 12) who were divided into experimental…

Ramon Mayor Martins; Christiane G. Von Wangenheim; Marcelo F. Rauber; Adriano F. Borgatto; Jean C. R. Hauck – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2024
As Machine Learning (ML) becomes increasingly integrated into our daily lives, it is essential to teach ML to young people from an early age including also students from a low socioeconomic status (SES) background. Yet, despite emerging initiatives for ML instruction in K-12, there is limited information available on the learning of students from…

Ryan, Zachary D.; DeLiema, David – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
This paper articulates an approach to incorporating instructor feedback in design-based research. Throughout the process of designing and implementing curriculum to support middle school students' debugging practices in a summer computer science workshop, our research and practice team utilized instructor-generated conjecture maps as boundary…

Karen Woo; Garry Falloon – Computer Science Education, 2025
Background and context: Coding and computational thinking are often taught through integrated curricula, despite a paucity of classroom-based research on their effectiveness. Objective: To investigate evidence of learning resulting from cross-curricular coding tasks in middle-school classrooms, and the school environment factors that impact upon…

Li, Wei; Liu, Cheng-Ye; Tseng, Judy C. R. – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Collaborative programming can develop computational thinking and knowledge of computational programming. However, the researchers pointed out that because students often fail to mobilize metacognition to regulate and control their cognitive activities in a cooperation, this results in poor learning effects. Especially low-achieving students need…

David E. Platt – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This qualitative, phenomenological research study explores the best practices that secondary Grades 6-12 educators employ when using microcontrollers in the classroom. Governmental and private organizations have investigated and promoted the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) and computer science in education (Code…

Plangg, Simon; Fuchs, Karl Josef – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2022
Using robot programming activities for learning in the classroom is one way to drive interest and engagement in the STEM field among students, especially girls. And this is afield that is particularly characterized by an underrepresentation of women. Accordingly, many countries are increasingly integrating activities related to computer science…

Saba, Janan; Hel-Or, Hagit; Levy, Sharona T. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
This article concerns the synergy between science learning, understanding complexity, and computational thinking (CT), and their impact on near and far learning transfer. The potential relationship between computer-based model construction and knowledge transfer has yet to be explored. We studied middle school students who modeled systemic…

Adeli Ynostroza-Ochoa; Sylvia Celedón-Pattichis; Marios S. Pattichis; Irán Tovar; Melissa Ibarra – International Journal of Multicultural Education, 2025
Although there have been efforts to broaden the participation of underrepresented students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), few studies have focused on how Latine bilingual students in rural contexts can access computer programming. The purpose of this case study is to examine how translanguaging facilitates…

Jocius, Robin; O'Byrne, W. Ian; Albert, Jennifer; Joshi, Deepti; Robinson, Richard; Andrews, Ashley – Educational Technology & Society, 2021
Despite increasing attention to the potential benefits of infusing computational thinking into content area classrooms, more research is needed to examine how teachers integrate disciplinary content and CT as part of their pedagogical practices. This study traces how middle and high school teachers (n = 24) drew on their existing knowledge and…

Shilo, Gila; Ragonis, Noa – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2019
A central issue in the design of curricula for all school levels is the development of the learners' high-order thinking skills and metacognitive skills. Among such required skills is the ability to solve problems. The literature dealing with the development of problem-solving skills is vast and primarily addresses the scientific disciplines, even…

Hwang, Gwo-Jen; Tung, Li-Hsien; Fang, Jian-Wen – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Fostering students' computer programming skills has become an important educational issue in the globe. However, it remains a challenge for students to understand those abstract concepts when learning computer programming, implying the need to provide instant learning diagnosis and feedback in computer programming activities. In this study, a…
