Zhizezhang Gao; Haochen Yan; Jiaqi Liu; Xiao Zhang; Yuxiang Lin; Yingzhi Zhang; Xia Sun; Jun Feng – International Journal of STEM Education, 2025
Background: With the increasing interdisciplinarity between computer science (CS) and other fields, a growing number of non-CS students are embracing programming. However, there is a gap in research concerning differences in programming learning between CS and non-CS students. Previous studies predominantly relied on outcome-based assessments,…

Fang, Jian-Wen; Shao, Dan; Hwang, Gwo-Jen; Chang, Shao-Chen – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
Scholars believe that computational thinking is one of the essential competencies of the 21st century and computer programming courses have been recognized as a potential means of fostering students' computational thinking. In tradition instruction, PFCT (problem identification, flow definition, coding, and testing) is a commonly adopted procedure…

Gu, Lin; Ling, Guangming; Liu, Ou Lydia; Yang, Zhitong; Li, Guirong; Kardanova, Elena; Loyalka, Prashant – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2021
We examine the effects of computer-based versus paper-based assessment of critical thinking skills, adapted from English (in the U.S.) to Chinese. Using data collected based on a random assignment between the two modes in multiple Chinese colleges, we investigate mode effects from multiple perspectives: mean scores, measurement precision, item…

Shi, Nianfeng; Cui, Wen; Zhang, Ping; Sun, Ximing – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2018
This research applies the roles of variables to the novice programmers in the C language programming. The results are evaluated using the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes (SOLO) taxonomy. The participants were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The students from the control group learned programming in the traditional…

Zhong, Baichang; Wang, Qiyun; Chen, Jie; Li, Yi – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2016
Computational thinking (CT) is a fundamental skill for students, and assessment is a critical factor in education. However, there is a lack of effective approaches to CT assessment. Therefore, we designed the Three-Dimensional Integrated Assessment (TDIA) framework in this article. The TDIA has two aims: one was to integrate three dimensions…

Liu, Ming; Pardo, Abelardo; Liu, Li – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2017
Online collaborative writing tools provide an efficient way to complete a writing task. However, existing tools only focus on technological affordances and ignore the importance of social affordances in a collaborative learning environment. This article describes a learning analytic system that analyzes writing behaviors, and creates…
