David Shilane; Nicole Di Crecchio; Nicole L. Lorenzetti – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2024
Educational curricula in data analysis are increasingly fundamental to statistics, data science, and a wide range of disciplines. The educational literature comparing coding syntaxes for instruction in data analysis recommends utilizing a simple syntax for introductory coursework. However, there is limited prior work to assess the pedagogical…

Shao-Heng Ko; Kristin Stephens-Martinez – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
Background: Academic help-seeking benefits students' achievement, but existing literature either studies important factors in students' selection of all help resources via self-reported surveys or studies their help-seeking behavior in one or two separate help resources via actual help-seeking records. Little is known about whether computing…

Andrew A. Tawfik; Linda Payne; Andrew M. Olney – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2024
Theorists and educators increasingly highlight the importance of computational thinking in STEM education. While various scaffolding strategies describe how to best support this skillset (i.e., paired programming, worked examples), less research has focused on the design and development of these digital tools. One way to support computational…

Odden, Tor Ole B.; Silvia, Devin W.; Malthe-Sørenssen, Anders – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
This article reports on a study investigating how computational essays can be used to help students in higher education STEM take up disciplinary epistemic agency--cognitive control and responsibility over one's own learning within the scientific disciplines. Computational essays are a genre of scientific writing that combine live, executable…

Marianthi Grizioti; Chronis Kynigos – Informatics in Education, 2024
Even though working with data is as important as coding for understanding and dealing with complex problems across multiple fields, it has received very little attention in the context of Computational Thinking. This paper discusses an approach for bridging the gap between Computational Thinking with Data Science by employing and studying…
