As a key motivational factor that determines future teaching success with Computational Thinking (CT), in this cross-sectional survey study, we investigated if and how preservice teachers' (n = 76) self-efficacy for CT teaching, their usage of CT tools, and their motivation (utility value) were (inter)related. Through a series of regression…

Emul, Nida; Gulkilik, Hilal; Kaplan, Hatice Aydan – Computers in the Schools, 2022
The purpose of this study was to examine how pre-service mathematics teachers (PMTs) integrated a dynamic geometry environment (DGE) into their reasoning process while solving geometric locus problems. Task-based interviews based on the locus problems were conducted with eight PMTs working in pairs. The PMTs could use a computer with access to…

Judy Lambert; Mark Stevens – Computers in the Schools, 2024
ChatGPT has garnered unprecedented popularity since its release in November 2022. This artificial intelligence (AI) large language model (LLM) is designed to generate human-like text based on patterns found in massive amounts of data scraped from the internet. ChatGPT is significantly different from previous versions of GPT by its quality of…

Ebadi, Saman; Gholami, Mina; Vakili, Shokoufeh – Computers in the Schools, 2023
Online grammar checkers have increasingly been used in writing instruction to detect and remove English as a foreign language (EFL) learners' grammatical errors. This study investigated the effects of the automated writing evaluation software "Grammarly" on Iranian EFL learners' article errors which are common in EFL writing. Ninety…

Hurwitz, Lisa B.; Macaruso, Paul; Thang, Sarah; Studwell, Jamie – Computers in the Schools, 2022
Unfortunately, far too many American adolescents are unable to read proficiently. The science of reading suggests explicit instruction in both word identification and language processing skills should bolster reading proficiency, but most commercial reading interventions for secondary students focus exclusively on the latter skill area. This study…

Moro, Sérgio; Martins, António; Ramos, Pedro; Esmerado, Joaquim; Costa, Joana Martinho; Almeida, Daniela – Computers in the Schools, 2020
Many university programs include Microsoft Excel courses given their value as a scientific and technical tool. However, evaluating what is effectively learned by students is a challenging task. Considering multiple-choice written exams are a standard evaluation format, this study aimed to uncover the features influencing students' success in…

Léger, Pierre-Majorique; An Nguyen, Thanh; Charland, Patrick; Sénécal, Sylvain; Lapierre, Hugo G.; Fredette, Marc – Computers in the Schools, 2019
The study investigates how learner experience with applications (apps) and how app types (native vs. non-native) influence performance in reading comprehension. Twenty-five high school students used different apps to read four texts. The students were asked to use the annotation feature of the apps to facilitate their reading. Ease of use,…

Kimbell-Lopez, Kimberly; Cummins, Carrice; Manning, Elizabeth – Computers in the Schools, 2016
Students are growing up in a digital world where technology is constantly changing and evolving. However, their use of these technologies is often more social rather than academically as a way to advance their understanding of key concepts or skills as it relates to instructional content. Teachers know how to teach, and our students are definitely…
