Weng, Xiaojing; Ng, Oi-Lam; Cui, Zhihao; Leung, Suzannie – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Creativity, one of the cornerstones of students' 21st-century skills, is regarded as an important learning outcome of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education. Meanwhile, problem-based digital making (DM), which combines the child-friendly programming activities of DM with problem-solving elements, is an emerging…

Alex Yue Feng Zhu – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
Research has shown that even though standardized financial education has gained prevalence to promote financial literacy over the past decade, it has had little effect on personal financial planning. The present study used a randomized control trial to examine the effectiveness of a Python-based personalized financial projection on young working…

Huiyan Ye; Oi-Lam Ng; Zhihao Cui – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
Computational thinking (CT) has received much attention in mathematics education in recent years, and researchers have begun to experiment with the integration of CT into mathematics education to promote students' CT and mathematical thinking (MT) development. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence and new theoretical perspectives on the…

Dennis Tay – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
Data analytics and programming skills are increasingly important in the humanities, especially in disciplines like linguistics due to the rapid growth of natural language processing (NLP) technologies. However, attitudes and perceptions of students as novice learners, and the attendant pedagogical implications, remain underexplored. This article…

Zhang, Shuhan; Wong, Gary K. W.; Chan, Peter C. F. – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Coding games are widely used to teach computational thinking (CT). Studies have broadly investigated the role of coding games in supporting CT learning in formal classroom contexts, but there has been limited exploration of their use in informal home-based settings. This study investigated the factors that motivated students to use a coding game…

Fung, Tze-ho; Li, Wing-yi – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2022
Rough set theory (RST) was proposed by Zdzistaw Pawlak (Pawlak,1982) as a methodology for data analysis using the notion of discernibility of objects based on their attribute values. The main advantage of using RST approach is that it does not need additional assumptions--like data distribution in statistical analysis. Besides, it provides…

Yang, Weipeng; Luo, Haoran; Su, Jiahong – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2022
The proliferation of screen-free programmable robotics allows teachers to implement age-appropriate integrated activities that can promote child learning and development. However, very scarce is known about the challenges of using programmable robots as a tool to empower children in minority communities. This mixed-methods case study examined a…

Cui, Zhihao; Ng, Oi-Lam – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
In this paper, we explore the challenges experienced by a group of Primary 5 to 6 (age 12-14) students as they engaged in a series of problem-solving tasks through block-based programming. The challenges were analysed according to a taxonomy focusing on the presence of computational thinking (CT) elements in mathematics contexts: preparing…

So, Joseph Chi-ho; Wong, Adam Ka-lok; Tsang, Kia Ho-yin; Chan, Ada Pui-ling; Wong, Simon Chi-wang; Chan, Henry C. B. – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2023
The project presented in this paper aims to formulate a recommendation framework that consolidates the higher education students' particulars such as their academic background, current study and student activity records, their attended higher education institution's expectations of graduate attributes and self-assessment of their own generic…

Basu, Satabdi; Rutstein, Daisy W.; Xu, Yuning; Wang, Haiwen; Shear, Linda – Computer Science Education, 2021
Background and Context: In today's increasingly digital world, it is critical that all students learn to think computationally from an early age. Assessments of Computational Thinking (CT) are essential for capturing information about student learning and challenges. When programming is used as a vehicle to foster CT skills, assessment of CT…
