Direct linkRosamaria Crisci; Umberto Dello Iacono; Eva Ferrara Dentice – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2023
In this paper, we describe an educational activity involving the use of a digital artifact, implemented in a visual programming environment, for mediating the learning of axial symmetry in primary school through algorithmics and computer programming. The educational activity was designed with the aim of bringing out increasingly…

Blanke, Tobias; Colavizza, Giovanni; van Hout, Zarah – Education for Information, 2023
The article presents an open educational resource (OER) to introduce humanities students to data analysis with Python. The article beings with positioning the OER within wider pedagogical debates in the digital humanities. The OER is built from our research encounters and committed to computational thinking rather than technicalities. Furthermore,…

Haydon; Karla-Luise Herpoldt; Kandise Van Wormer; Celine Abell; David Baker; Alena Khmelinskaia; Neil P. King – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Undergraduate research experiences can improve student success in graduate education and STEM careers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, undergraduate researchers at our institution and many others lost their work-study research positions due to interruption of in-person research activities. This imposed a financial burden on the students and…

Peer reviewedvan der Linden, Wim J.; Adema, Jos J. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1998
Proposes an algorithm for the assembly of multiple test forms in which the multiple-form problem is reduced to a series of computationally less intensive two-form problems. Illustrates how the method can be implemented using 0-1 linear programming and gives two examples. (SLD)

Peer reviewedThorburn, Gareth; Rowe, Glenn – Computers & Education, 1997
Unlike most program assessment systems, Program Assessment using Specified Solutions (PASS), evaluates student C programs by assessing the way a problem was solved by performing a comparison of the submitted program with a solution plan. This article describes PASS, its use of instructor specified solution plans, assessment and feedback systems,…

Peer reviewedGorbunov, Andrey L. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2002
Discusses how to improve the quality of Internet search systems and introduces the Ghosts Consensus Method which is free from the drawbacks of digital democracy algorithms and is based on linear programming tasks. Highlights include vector space models; determining relevant documents; and enriching query terms. (LRW)

van der Linden, Wim J.; Scrams, David J.; Schnipke, Deborah L. – 2003
This paper proposes an item selection algorithm that can be used to neutralize the effect of time limits in computer adaptive testing. The method is based on a statistical model for the response-time distributions of the test takers on the items in the pool that is updated each time a new item has been administered. Predictions from the model are…

Peer reviewedWilcocks, Derek; Sanders, Ian – Computers & Education, 1994
Discussion of how to teach programming skills to novice programmers focuses on the use of a program animator that uses a copies model of recursion to teach the recursive function. Various mental models are reviewed; testing the recursion animator is described; and possibilities for further research are suggested. (12 references) (LRW)

Galeev, Ildar – Educational Technology, 1999
Discusses the development and introduction of expert tutoring systems (ETS), or intelligent tutoring systems. Explains MONAP-PLUS, an example of an authoring tool for the design of an ETS that includes models of the subject domain, the learner, and the learning process; a user-friendly interface; and techniques for developing algorithmic…

Jones, Mark K.; And Others – 1994
The design of a re-usable instructional algorithm for computer based instruction (CBI) is described. The prototype is implemented on IBM PC compatibles running the Windows(TM) graphical environment, using the prototyping tool ToolBook(TM). The algorithm is designed to reduce development and life cycle costs for CBI by providing an authoring…

Peer reviewedTowne, Douglas M.; And Others – Interactive Learning Environments, 1990
Explains the Intelligent Maintenance Training System that allows a nonprogramming subject matter expert to produce an interactive graphical model of a complex device for computer simulation. Previous simulation-based training systems are reviewed; simulation algorithms are described; and the student interface is discussed. (Contains 24…

Allan, V. H.; Kolesar, M. V. – 1996
The typical introductory programming course is not an appropriate first computer science course for many students. Initial experiences with programming are often frustrating, resulting in a low rate of successful completion, and focus on syntax rather than providing a representative picture of computer science as a discipline. The paper discusses…

Peer reviewedGray, John S. – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 1998
Describes use of the little-known Shuttle Puzzle in computer programming to elucidate the process of analyzing a problem and synthesizing observations into an algorithm that can be used to generate a programming solution. The process used to solve the problem reflects one that an expert uses. The method could be adapted for small-group cooperative…
