Ellie Lovellette; Dennis J. Bouvier; John Matta – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2024
In recent years, computing education researchers have investigated the impact of problem context on students' learning and programming performance. This work continues the investigation motivated, in part, by cognitive load theory and educational research in computer science and other disciplines. The results of this study could help inform…

Love, Tyler S.; Cysyk, Joshua P.; Attaluri, Anilchandra; Tunks, Robert D.; Harter, Kevin; Sipos, Renee – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
Programming and automation continue to evolve rapidly and advance the capabilities of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. However, physical computing (the integration of programming and interactive physical devices) integrated within biomedical contexts remains an area of limited focus in secondary STEM education…

Lily R. Liang; Rui Kang – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2024
This study examines the impact of a situated learning class framework on student learning and sense of belonging in a first-year introductory computer programming course offered at an urban commuter campus. The framework provided students opportunities to engage in hands-on activities embedded in authentic contexts facilitated or led by students…

Murcia, Karen Janette; Tang, Kok-Sing – Australian Educational Computing, 2019
Computational thinking, which includes foundation skills such as matching, sequencing and decomposing, is increasingly becoming an educational focus with young children (Strawhacker, Lee, & Bers, 2018). This research focusses primarily on the nature of young children's play with tangible coding technologies (TCTs) and the role of multimodal…

Pullu, Emine Kübra; Gömleksiz, Mehmet Nuri – Discourse and Communication for Sustainable Education, 2021
This research was prepared in order to determine the change in students' academic achievement, retention levels and attitudes, and problem solving skill and creative thinking skill as a result of programming teaching with authentic task-based applications. The research was prepared using an experimental design with pretest-posttest control group.…

Pawlak, Alanna; Irving, Paul W.; Caballero, Marcos D. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
An increasing number of introductory physics courses are seeking to incorporate "authentic practices," and a large area of focus in this trend is the incorporation of computational problems into the curriculum. These problems offer students an opportunity to engage with the programming practices and numerical problem-solving methods used…

Günbas, Nilgün; Gözüküçük, Meral – International Online Journal of Primary Education, 2023
Pre-service teachers are mostly trained with traditional methods in their institutions and as a result, they do not become competent in technology integration in education. To successfully integrate technology in education, it is necessary for teachers to have knowledge of the content and the pedagogical techniques to teach this content with…

Wanzer, Dana Linnell; McKlin, Tom; Freeman, Jason; Magerko, Brian; Lee, Taneisha – Computer Science Education, 2020
Background and Context: EarSketch was developed as a program to foster persistence in computer science with diverse student populations. Objective: To test the effectiveness of EarSketch in promoting intentions to persist, particularly among female students and under-represented minority students. Method: Meta-analyses, structural equation…
