Fatima Abu Deeb; Timothy Hickey – Computer Science Education, 2024
Background and Context: Auto-graders are praised by novice students learning to program, as they provide them with automatic feedback about their problem-solving process. However, some students often make random changes when they have errors in their code, without engaging in deliberate thinking about the cause of the error. Objective: To…

Kuo, Yu-Chen; Lin, Yu-Hsuan; Wang, Tao-Hua; Lin, Hao-Chiang Koong; Chen, Ju-I; Huang, Yueh-Min – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2023
Flipped classroom is one of the important teaching modes among many novel teaching methods in recent years, students watch the video in the pre-class. However, if students cannot focus on the pre-class video learning or have problems with the learning content, the learning effect will be less than expected. Therefore, this research proposes a…

Poe, Laura F.; Brooks, Nita G.; Korzaan, Melinda; Hulshult, Andrea R.; Woods, David M. – Information Systems Education Journal, 2021
The growth-mindset was examined to determine student perception of success by incorporating goalsetting activities into the course curriculum. Faculty at three universities conducted a mixed methods study to examine the extent to which reflection and planning activities designed to engage a growth-mindset focus through setting SMART (Specific,…

Saira Anwar; Ahmed Ashraf Butt; Muhsin Menekse – Grantee Submission, 2023
This study explored the effectiveness of scaffolding in students' reflection writing process. We compared two sections of an introductory computer programming course (N=188). In Section 1, students did not receive any scaffolding while generating reflections, whereas in Section 2, students were scaffolded during the reflection writing process.…

Balaji Kalluri; Prajish Prasad; Prakrati Sharma; Divyaansh Chippa – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Contribution: This article proposes a new theoretical model with a goal to develop future human computational thinking (CT) in foundational computer science (CS) education. The model blends six critical types of thinking, i.e., logical thinking, systems thinking, sustainable thinking, strategic thinking, creative thinking, and responsible thinking…

Rashkovits, Rami; Lavy, Ilana – International Journal of Information and Communication Technology Education, 2020
The present study examines the difficulties novice data modelers face when asked to provide a data model addressing a given problem. In order to map these difficulties and their causes, two short data modeling problems were given to 82 students who had completed an introductory course in database modeling. Both problems involve three entity sets…

Lockwood, Elise – Cognition and Instruction, 2022
In this paper, I discuss undergraduate students' engagement in basic Python programming while solving combinatorial problems. Students solved tasks that were designed to involve programming, and they were encouraged to engage in activities of prediction and reflection. I provide data from two paired teaching experiments, and I outline how the task…

Stone, Jeffrey A.; Cruz, Laura – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2021
Higher education has embraced integrative learning as a means of enabling students to tackle so-called "wicked" problems, i.e. problems that are sufficiently complex, contested, and ambiguous that conventional, disciplinary specific approaches are inadequate to address. However, challenges remain in defining integrative learning…
