Thuné, Michael; Eckerdal, Anna – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
Previous research shows that many students find it difficult to learn computer programming. To learn computer programming includes both gaining theoretical understanding and learning to develop programmes in practice. To this end, teachers commonly design programming exercises for the students in the computer laboratory. To be able to improve the…

Giacaman, Nasser; De Ruvo, Giuseppe – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2018
Contribution: Active classroom programmer (ACP) is a software tool that places minimal pressure on resources, and is shown to help improve student learning while also encouraging a high degree of engagement both during and outside of programming lectures. Background: Programming is difficult for students, largely due to the myriad of…

Jarrott, Shannon E.; Smith, Cynthia L. – Gerontologist, 2011
Purpose of the Study: We assessed whether a shared site intergenerational care program informed by contact theory contributed to more desirable social behaviors of elders and children during intergenerational programming than a center with a more traditional programming approach that lacks some or all of the contact theory tenets. Design and…

Navi, K.; Molahosseini, A. S.; Esmaeildoust, M. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2011
The residue number system (RNS) has been an important research field in computer arithmetic for many decades, mainly because of its carry-free nature, which can provide high-performance computing architectures with superior delay specifications. Recently, research on RNS has found new directions that have resulted in the introduction of efficient…

Buendia-Garcia, Felix; Diaz, Paloma – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2003
An instructional application consists of a set of resources and activities to implement interacting, interrelated, and structured experiences oriented towards achieving specific educational objectives. The development of computer-based instructional applications has to follow a well defined process, so models for computer-based instructional…
