Niloofar Mansoor; Cole S. Peterson; Michael D. Dodd; Bonita Sharif – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2024
Background and Context: Understanding how a student programmer solves different task types in different programming languages is essential to understanding how we can further improve teaching tools to support students to be industry-ready when they graduate. It also provides insight into students' thought processes in different task types and…

McCall, Davin; Kölling, Michael – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2019
The types of programming errors that novice programmers make and struggle to resolve have long been of interest to researchers. Various past studies have analyzed the frequency of compiler diagnostic messages. This information, however, does not have a direct correlation to the types of errors students make, due to the inaccuracy and imprecision…

Anette Bentz; Bernhard Standl – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2024
Digital literacy is considered to be crucial for social and professional participation. Hence, several projects have been launched in school, as well as extracurricular activities to promote digital literacy in middle school. They aim, among other things, to increase interest in the so-called STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, and…

Theodoropoulos, Anastasios; Antoniou, Angeliki; Lepouras, George – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2017
Is there any relationship between students' cognitive style and the ability to learn programming through serious games? The aim of this work is to assess the learning effectiveness and motivational appeal of digital games for learning basic programming concepts, involving secondary education students. For this purpose, the Code.org®'s activity…

Carter, Adam S.; Hundhausen, Christopher D.; Adesope, Olusola – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2017
Analyzing the process data of students as they complete programming assignments has the potential to provide computing educators with insights into both their students and the processes by which they learn to program. In prior research, we explored the relationship between (a) students' programming behaviors and course outcomes, and (b) students'…

Myller, Niko; Bednarik, Roman; Sutinen, Erkki; Ben-Ari, Mordechai – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2009
As collaborative learning in general, and pair programming in particular, has become widely adopted in computer science education, so has the use of pedagogical visualization tools for facilitating collaboration. However, there is little theory on collaborative learning with visualization, and few studies on their effect on each other. We build on…
