Zsoldos-Marchi?, Iuliana; Bálint-Svella, Éva – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2023
The concept, development and assessment of computational thinking have increasingly become the focus of research in recent years. Most of this type of research focuses on older children or adults. Preschool age is a sensitive period when many skills develop intensively, so the development of computational thinking skills can already begin at this…

Radloff, Jeffrey; Hall, Jacob A. – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Recent US science standards conceptualize science as a set of shared multidisciplinary ideas and practices in common with engineering and computer science (CS). At the core, this portrayal requires an understanding of CS as a viable career path and set of discrete knowledge and skills, including those related to computer programming. However,…

Fu, Qian; Zhang, Li-Wen; Hong, Jon-Chao; Dong, Yan – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
Learning programming challenges students who encounter difficulties such as resolving syntax and format errors. These challenges require students to invoke resilience to overcome programming problems and keep trying. In response, this study developed the programming resilience scale for university students (PRSUS). The snowball-sampling method was…

Lu, Owen H. T.; Huang, Anna Y. Q.; Tsai, Danny C. L.; Yang, Stephen J. H. – Educational Technology & Society, 2021
Human-guided machine learning can improve computing intelligence, and it can accurately assist humans in various tasks. In education research, artificial intelligence (AI) is applicable in many situations, such as predicting students' learning paths and strategies. In this study, we explore the benefits of repetitive practice of short-answer…

Rachmatullah, Arif; Akram, Bita; Boulden, Danielle; Mott, Bradford; Boyer, Kristy; Lester, James; Wiebe, Eric – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
The increasing interest in computer science (CS) and CS-integrated STEM teaching and learning has created a need for assessment instruments that can be used to evaluate the efficacy of innovative instructional approaches to K-12 CS education. However, there is a lack of validated assessment tools aligned to core CS concepts for younger students.…

Yadav, Aman; Berges, Marc – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2019
Computer science education efforts are expanding across the globe to equip students with the necessary computing skills for today's digital world. However, preparing students to become literate in computing activities requires the training of tens of thousands of teachers in computer science. The discrepancy between student needs and teacher…

Yildiz, Serife Nur; Ates-Cobanoglu, Alev; Kisla, Tarik – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2020
This paper reports the development process of a scale for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) teachers' acceptance and use of Scratch for teaching programming. For early beginners of programming, Scratch is the most popular block-based software for facilitating programming teaching (Zhang and Nouri, 2019) worldwide. Also, in Turkey,…

Lacave, Carmen; Molina, Ana I.; Redondo, Miguel A. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2018
Contribution: Findings are provided from an initial survey to evaluate the magnitude of the recursion problem from the student point of view. Background: A major difficulty that programming students must overcome--the learning of recursion--has been addressed by many authors, using various approaches, but none have considered how students perceive…
