Priti Oli; Rabin Banjade; Arun Balajiee Lekshmi Narayanan; Peter Brusilovsky; Vasile Rus – Grantee Submission, 2023
Self-efficacy, or the belief in one's ability to accomplish a task or achieve a goal, can significantly influence the effectiveness of various instructional methods to induce learning gains. The importance of self-efficacy is particularly pronounced in complex subjects like Computer Science, where students with high self-efficacy are more likely…

Emerson, Andrew; Rodríguez, Fernando J.; Mott, Bradford; Smith, Andy; Min, Wookhee; Boyer, Kristy Elizabeth; Smith, Cody; Wiebe, Eric; Lester, James – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
Recent years have seen a growing interest in block-based programming environments for computer science education. While these environments hold significant potential for novice programmers, they lack the adaptive support necessary to accommodate students exhibiting a wide range of initial capabilities and dispositions toward computing. A promising…

Peters, Anne-Kathrin – Contributions from Science Education Research, 2019
Decades of research on engagement, retention, and under-representation in STEM conclude that a better understanding of learner development as a long-term, social process is needed. Social identity theory is increasingly used to understand the interplay between individual development and social structure. The present report summarises findings from…

Mironova, Olga; Amitan, Irina; Vendelin, Jelena; Vilipõld, Jüri; Saar, Merike – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2015
The present paper introduces some strategies used in teaching an Informatics course for non-IT first year university students. The strategies were developed during several years, using the main principles of flexible and blended learning. The methodology has been based on the results of experiments with students from social sciences, economics and…

Cardinale, Loretta A. – 1992
This study was conducted to investigate the microcomputer experience of female preservice teachers. A questionnaire developed to evaluate prior computer experiences of teacher education students enrolled in an educational technology and media course was administered during the first week of class. The sample included 40 males and 215 females.…

Gordon, Gene M.; Chimi, Carl J. – 1998
This paper reports on the results of a preliminary investigation of the extent to which first-year students entering a university during the summer, who enroll in the introductory information systems course in a college of business, meet the requirements for the course upon entrance. A second objective is to recommend a course of action to be…
