Lihui Sun; Junjie Liu – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2025
Computational Thinking (CT) has evolved as an essential competency for K-12 students, and programming practices are recognized as the key way to facilitate CT development. However, most studies of CT development in middle graders have focused on visual programming, lacking evidence to demonstrate the effectiveness of Python programming. Therefore,…

Dan Sun; Chee-Kit Looi; Yan Li; Chengcong Zhu; Caifeng Zhu; Miaoting Cheng – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
In the current era where computational literacy holds significant relevance, a growing number of schools across the globe have placed emphasis on K-12 programming education. This field of education primarily comprises two distinct modalities--the block-based programming modality (BPM) and the text-based programming modality (TPM). Previous…

Dan Sun; Chengcong Zhu; Fan Xu; Yan Li; Fan Ouyang; Miaoting Cheng – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
Although previous research has provided some insights into the effects of block-based and text-based programming modalities, there is a dearth of a detailed, multi-dimensional analysis of the transition process from different introductory programming modalities to professional programming learning. This study employed a quasi-experimental design…

Monika Mladenovic; Žana Žanko; Goran Zaharija – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
The use of a pedagogical approach mediated transfer with the bridging method has been successful in facilitating the transitions from block-based to text-based programming languages. Nevertheless, there is a lack of research addressing the impact of this transfer on programming misconceptions during the transition. The way programming concepts are…

Ünal Çakiroglu; Seval Bilgi – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
The aim of this explanatory study is to identify the causes of intrinsic cognitive load in programming process. For this purpose, a method based on two dimensions; programming knowledge types (syntactic, semantic, and strategic) and programming constructs was proposed. The proposed method was tested with high school students enrolled in Computer…

Seong-Won Kim; Youngjun Lee – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
In this study, the influence of socio-cultural factors on attitudes toward artificial intelligence (AI) was investigated. In total, 1,677 Korean middle school students were selected to participate, and a test tool was used to measure the attitude toward AI. As a result, according to socio-cultural factors, middle school students' attitudes toward…

Damar Rais; Zhao Xuezhi – Anatolian Journal of Education, 2023
Programming languages have been used and developed in the field of education. Python programming was employed in this study. The goal of this study is to see whether there is an effect of using Pydroid in mathematics learning on students' problem-solving abilities and to see if this software satisfies or does not match the criteria for mathematics…

Pudasainee-Kapri, Sangita; Pontes, Nancy M. H.; Pontes, Manuel C. F. – Journal of School Health, 2023
Background: Children with asthma are often marginalized at school, including bullying victimization. The purpose of this study is to estimate the association between asthma and school or electronic bullying victimization among US high school students, and test whether the association varies significantly by sex. Methods: Pooled data from five…

Ibrahim Cetin; Tarik Otu – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2023
The purpose of the current study was to explore the effect of modality (constructionist mBlock, Scratch, and Python interventions) on six-grade students' computational thinking, programming attitude, and achievement. The pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental design was used to explore the research questions. The study group consisted of 105…

Pere J. Ferrando; David Navarro-González; Fabia Morales-Vives – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2025
The problem of local item dependencies (LIDs) is very common in personality and attitude measures, particularly in those that measure narrow-bandwidth dimensions. At the structural level, these dependencies can be modeled by using extended factor analytic (FA) solutions that include correlated residuals. However, the effects that LIDs have on the…

Li, Jiansheng; Liu, Jiao; Yuan, Rui; Shadiev, Rustam – Educational Technology & Society, 2022
This study explores the role of socially shared regulation on computational thinking performance in cooperative learning. Ninety-four middle school students from China aged between 16 and 18 participated in this study. Forty-six students were in the experimental group, and 48 students were in the control group. Students in the experimental group…

Priti Oli; Rabin Banjade; Jeevan Chapagain; Vasile Rus – Grantee Submission, 2023
This paper systematically explores how Large Language Models (LLMs) generate explanations of code examples of the type used in intro-to-programming courses. As we show, the nature of code explanations generated by LLMs varies considerably based on the wording of the prompt, the target code examples being explained, the programming language, the…

Dan Sun; Fan Ouyang; Yan Li; Chengcong Zhu; Yang Zhou – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: With the development of computational literacy, there has been a surge in both research and practice application of text-based and block-based modalities within the field of computer programming education. Despite this trend, little work has actually examined how learners engaging in programming process when utilizing these two major…
