Jessica M. M. Hamer; Peter E. J. Kemp; Billy Wong; Meggie Copsey-Blake – Cambridge Journal of Education, 2024
Digital skills are beneficial for young people and society, but some individuals, particularly girls, are less likely to choose computing post-compulsory education. Coding is a crucial skill in the school computing curriculum. The authors collected survey data from 4983 secondary-school students (ages 11-16) as well as conducted exploratory factor…

Rachmatullah, Arif; Wiebe, Eric N. – Science Education, 2023
Computationally intensive science (CIS)-related disciplines and careers are predicted to be among the cutting-edge fields and high-demand jobs. Such disciplines and careers demand expertise in both traditional scientific knowledge and computer science (CS)-related understanding and skills. Preparing educational systems for developing interest and…

Terdbaramee, Dussadee; Suksakulchai, Surachai; Murphy, Elizabeth – Australian Educational Computing, 2018
The role of the specialized high-school computer teacher is challenged by both students' and non-computer teachers' growing expertise in computers and technology in general. It is also challenged by a need to keep pace with a field that is constantly changing. Yet, few studies have investigated the complex variables that may affect computer…

Estrada, Gabriel; Dawson, Maurice; Cárdenas-Haro, Jose Antonio – ICTE Journal, 2019
African Americans and Hispanic Americans historically have been underrepresented in U.S. jobs in the fields of STEM in large part because of the usability of technology. In this research, the goal was to discover the usability factors relative to operating systems that may limit African Americans and Hispanic Americans from pursuit of computer…

Mesiti, Leigh Ann; Parkes, Alana; Paneto, Sunewan C.; Cahill, Clara – Journal of Museum Education, 2019
"Building Computational Thinkers," a three-year research study, explored how educators and designers can most effectively support the development of computational thinking capacity, and how these learning experiences could be customized to meet the needs of different learners. This research study focused on three specific exhibit design…

Davis, Richard; Proctor, Christopher; Friend, Michelle; Blikstein, Paulo – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
The gender gap in computing has persisted--and grown--over the past 40 years. One class of solutions offered as a way to close the gap are software and hardware design tools created for girls. This study compares one such construction kit--the Adafruit Flora--to a comparable kit that was not designed with girls in mind--the Arduino Leonardo. Using…

Giannakos, Michail N. – Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, 2014
Computer Science (CS) courses comprise both Programming and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) issues; however these two areas have substantial differences, inter alia the attitudes and beliefs of the students regarding the intended learning content. In this research, factors from the Social Cognitive Theory and Unified Theory of…

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…

Friend, Michelle – Computer Science Education, 2015
Experience is necessary but not sufficient to cause girls to envision a future career in computing. This study investigated the experiences and attitudes of girls who had taken three years of mandatory computer science classes in an all-girls setting in middle school, measured at the end of eighth grade. The one third of participants who were open…

Grover, Shuchi; Pea, Roy; Cooper, Stephen – Computer Science Education, 2015
The focus of this research was to create and test an introductory computer science course for middle school. Titled "Foundations for Advancing Computational Thinking" (FACT), the course aims to prepare and motivate middle school learners for future engagement with algorithmic problem solving. FACT was also piloted as a seven-week course…

Agbo, Igwe Sylvester – Journal of Education and Practice, 2015
Research studies in the past years show that Information and Communication Technology is an effective means for boasting educational opportunities, but most teachers neither use this technology as an instructional delivery system nor integrate technology into their curriculum. Studies reveal a number of factors influencing teachers' decisions to…
