Adriana Villavicencio; Wendy Martin; Cheri Fancsali; Maya Israel – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2025
Because of the rapid expansion of computer science (CS) education, educational leaders must consider how to recruit, prepare, and support teachers who typically do not have a background in CS. This study examines two professional development (PD) approaches used to introduce CS education to non-CS teachers. We aim to understand if/how each model…

Herminio Bodon; Vishesh Kumar; Marcelo Worsley – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
Objectives: Athletics and sports represent a focal part of adolescence for millions of youth around the world. However, opportunities to engage in computer science (CS) learning experiences are less prevalent, particularly among Hispanic and low-income communities. Recently, researchers have explored ways to bridge these, seemingly, disparate…

Lukas Höper; Carsten Schulte – Informatics in Education, 2024
In K-12 computing education, there is a need to identify and teach concepts that are relevant to understanding machine learning technologies. Studies of teaching approaches often evaluate whether students have learned the concepts. However, scant research has examined whether such concepts support understanding digital artefacts from everyday life…

Dan Sun; Chengcong Zhu; Fan Xu; Yan Li; Fan Ouyang; Miaoting Cheng – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
Although previous research has provided some insights into the effects of block-based and text-based programming modalities, there is a dearth of a detailed, multi-dimensional analysis of the transition process from different introductory programming modalities to professional programming learning. This study employed a quasi-experimental design…

Lorien Cafarella; Lucas Vasconcelos – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Middle school students often enter Computer Science (CS) classes without previous CS or Computational Thinking (CT) instruction. This study evaluated how Code.org's block-based programming curriculum affects middle school students' CT skills and attitudes toward CT and CS. Sixteen students participated in the study. This was a mixed methods action…

Teaching Algorithms in Upper Secondary Education: A Study of Teachers' Pedagogical Content Knowledge
Nijenhuis-Voogt, Jacqueline; Bayram-Jacobs, Durdane; Meijer, Paulien C.; Barendsen, Erik – Computer Science Education, 2023
Background and Context: Computing education is expanding, while the teaching of algorithms is less well studied. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) for teaching algorithms. Method: We conducted semi-structured interviews with seven computer science (CS) teachers in upper secondary…

Shmallo, Ronit; Ragonis, Noa – Education and Information Technologies, 2021
The paper presents research that aims to expose students' understanding of the "this" reference in object-oriented programming. The study was conducted with high school students (N = 86) and college engineering students (N = 77). Conceptualization of "this" reflects an understanding of objects in general and involves aspects of…
