Aydan Aytekin; Mustafa Sami Topçu – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Circulatory system is a challenging subject for middle school students to learn and understand conceptual relationships. To address these challenges, this study developed plugged (computational thinking activities using computer) and unplugged (computational thinking activities without using computer) teaching modules that integrated computational…

Langbeheim, Elon; Perl, David; Yerushalmi, Edit – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
This study focuses on science teachers' first encounter with computational modeling in professional development workshops. It examines the factors shaping the teachers' self-efficacy and attitudes towards integrating computational modeling within inquiry-based learning modules for 9th grade physics. The learning modules introduce phenomena, the…

Rodríguez-Becerra, Jorge; Cáceres-Jensen, Lizethly; Díaz, Tatiana; Sofía Druker; Padilla, Víctor Bahamonde; Pernaa, Johannes; Aksela, Maija – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2020
The purpose of this descriptive case study was to develop pre-service chemistry teachers' Technological Pedagogical Science Knowledge (TPASK) through novel computational chemistry modules. The study consisted of two phases starting with designing a computational chemistry based learning environment followed by a case study where students'…

Bell, Edward C.; Fike, David S.; Liang, Dong; Lockman, Paul R.; McCall, Kenneth L. – Education and Information Technologies, 2017
Computer module intervention is the process of exposing students to a series of discrete exercises for the purpose of strengthening students' familiarity with conceptual material. The method has been suggested as a remedy to student under-preparedness. This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of module intervention in improving and…

Kafai, Yasmin B.; Lee, Eunkyoung; Searle, Kristin; Fields, Deborah; Kaplan, Eliot; Lui, Debora – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2014
In this article, we examine the use of electronic textiles (e-textiles) for introducing key computational concepts and practices while broadening perceptions about computing. The starting point of our work was the design and implementation of a curriculum module using the LilyPad Arduino in a pre-AP high school computer science class. To…

Wang, Xiaohui; Bradlow, Eric T.; Wainer, Howard – ETS Research Report Series, 2005
SCORIGHT is a very general computer program for scoring tests. It models tests that are made up of dichotomously or polytomously rated items or any kind of combination of the two through the use of a generalized item response theory (IRT) formulation. The items can be presented independently or grouped into clumps of allied items (testlets) or in…
