Nicole Panorkou; Toni York; Erell Germia – Cognition and Instruction, 2024
In this paper we discuss the types of knowledge used by six middle school students as they engaged with a debugging task designed to integrate ideas from computer science, mathematics and science. Our findings show that the computational thinking practice of debugging is a rich source of opportunities to integrate these different disciplines. The…

von Wangenheim, Aldo; von Wangenheim, Christiane Gresse; Pacheco, Fernando S.; Hauck, Jean C. R.; Ferreira, Miriam Nathalie F. – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2017
Computing education in schools faces several problems, such as a lack of computing teachers and time in an already overloaded curriculum. A solution can be a multidisciplinary approach, integrating the teaching of computing within other subjects, creating the need to motivate teachers from other disciplines to teach computing in middle school.…

Merkouris, Alexandros; Chorianopoulos, Konstantinos; Kameas, Achilles – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2017
Pedagogy has emphasized that physical representations and tangible interactive objects benefit learning especially for young students. There are many tangible hardware platforms for introducing computer programming to children, but there is limited comparative evaluation of them in the context of a formal classroom. In this work, we explore the…

Denner, Jill; Werner, Linda; Ortiz, Eloy – Computers & Education, 2012
Computer game programming has been touted as a promising strategy for engaging children in the kinds of thinking that will prepare them to be producers, not just users of technology. But little is known about what they learn when programming a game. In this article, we present a strategy for coding student games, and summarize the results of an…

Marshall, Krista Sekeres – Online Submission, 2011
The purpose of this study was to evaluate student understanding and application of computational thinking patterns to novel situations. Over 500 students, who had just designed and programmed a Frogger-style game using the AgentSheets platform, responded to a newly developed video-prompt survey instrument administered in the Fall 2010 semester.…

Werner, Linda; Denning, Jill – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2009
Few early intervention efforts have improved the representation of women in computer science and engineering (CSE) disciplines, but pair programming has shown promise for reducing gender differences among college students. The current study is the first to examine this promising practice in middle school. In an effort to better understand what…

Mercier, E. M.; Barron, B.; O'Connor, K. M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2006
Gender differences in the pursuit of technology careers are a current issue of concern. We report on two studies that use surveys, drawings and interviews to examine sixth- and eighth-grade students' perceptions of knowledgeable computer users and their self-perception as a computer-type person. In Study 1, participants were asked to generate…
