Rijo-Garcia, Sara; Segredo, Eduardo; Leon, Coromoto – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
Contribution: This document presents a systematic bibliographic review that demonstrates the need to conduct research on how the user experience impacts the development of computational thinking. Background: In the field of computer science, computational thinking is defined as a method that enhances problem-solving skills, system design, and…

Minji Jeon; Kyungbin Kwon – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2024
This study investigated the computational thinking (CT) practices of eight pre-service teachers through their Scratch and Python programs. Conducted within an undergraduate-level computer science education course, students learned CT concepts via parallel instruction in block-based programming (Scratch) and text-based programming (Python). The…

Nicoletti, Maria do Carmo; de Oliveira, Osvaldo Luiz – Higher Education Studies, 2020
In the literature related to higher education, the concept of dropout has been approached from several perspectives and, over the years, its definition has been influenced by the use of diversified semantic interpretations. In a general higher education environment dropout can be broadly characterized as the act of a student engaged in a course…

Kynigos, Chronis; Grizioti, Marianthi – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2020
Although there is wide rhetoric that programming should be learnt by all as an element of computational thinking (CT), in practice, it is mostly implemented narrowly as an end in itself consisting of routine practice and traditional testing of the ability to code. This paper discusses a way in which programming could be seen through a wider…

Debbah, Amina; Ben Ali, Yamina Mohamed – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2014
In the e-learning systems, a learning path is known as a sequence of learning materials linked to each others to help learners achieving their learning goals. As it is impossible to have the same learning path that suits different learners, the Curriculum Sequencing problem (CS) consists of the generation of a personalized learning path for each…

Nicaud, Jean-Francois; Bouhineau, Denis; Chaachoua, Hamid – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2004
We present the design principles for a new kind of computer system that helps students learn algebra. The fundamental idea is to have a system based on the microworld paradigm that allows students to make their own calculations, as they do with paper and pencil, without being obliged to use commands, and to verify the correctness of these…
