Liu, Zhongxiu; Zhi, Rui; Hicks, Andrew; Barnes, Tiffany – Computer Science Education, 2017
Debugging is an over-looked component in K-12 computational thinking education. Few K-12 programming environments are designed to teach debugging, and most debugging research were conducted on college-aged students. In this paper, we presented debugging exercises to 6th-8th grade students and analyzed their problem solving behaviors in a…
