Yiting Wang; Tong Li; Jiahui You; Xinran Zhang; Congkai Geng; Yu Liu – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
Understanding software modelers' difficulties and evaluating their performance is crucial to Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) education. The software modeling process contains fine-grained information about the modelers' analysis and thought processes. However, existing research primarily focuses on identifying obvious issues in the software…

Yun Huang; Christian Dieter Schunn; Julio Guerra; Peter L. Brusilovsky – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2024
Programming skills are increasingly important to the current digital economy, yet these skills have long been regarded as challenging to acquire. A central challenge in learning programming skills involves the simultaneous use of multiple component skills. This article investigates why students struggle with integrating component skills--a…

McCall, Davin; Kölling, Michael – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2019
The types of programming errors that novice programmers make and struggle to resolve have long been of interest to researchers. Various past studies have analyzed the frequency of compiler diagnostic messages. This information, however, does not have a direct correlation to the types of errors students make, due to the inaccuracy and imprecision…

Raman, Raghu; Venkatasubramanian, Smrithi; Achuthan, Krishnashree; Nedungadi, Prema – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2015
Computer science (CS) and its enabling technologies are at the heart of this information age, yet its adoption as a core subject by senior secondary students in Indian schools is low and has not reached critical mass. Though there have been efforts to create core curriculum standards for subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Math, CS…

Renumol, V. G.; Janakiram, Dharanipragada; Jayaprakash, S. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2010
Identifying the set of cognitive processes (CPs) a student can go through during computer programming is an interesting research problem. It can provide a better understanding of the human aspects in computer programming process and can also contribute to the computer programming education in general. The study identified the presence of a set of…
