Lin, Xiao-Fan; Wang, Jing; Chen, Yingshan; Zhou, Yue; Luo, Guoyu; Wang, Zhaoyang; Liang, Zhong-Mei; Hu, Xiaoyong; Li, Wenyi – Educational Technology & Society, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) is an imperative competency in the 21st century. Mindtools can assist students in understanding concepts and decomposing tasks during CT development through programming. However, students may encounter challenges in complex CT problem-solving tasks due to being confused when using mindtools without proper guidance.…

Improving Knowledge Gain and Emotional Experience in Online Learning with Knowledge and Emotional Scaffolding-Based Conversational Agent
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Zhi Liu; Huimin Duan; Shiqi Liu; Rui Mu; Sannyuya Liu; Zongkai Yang – Educational Technology & Society, 2024
Conversational agents (CAs) primarily adopt knowledge scaffolding (KS) or emotional scaffolding (ES) to intervene in learners' knowledge gain and emotional experience in online learning. However, the ill-defined design for KS and ES, as well as insufficient understanding of their interactive effects on learning outcomes, have hindered the…

The Mediating and Moderating Role of Cognitive Engagement in the Relationship between Prior Knowledge and Learning Achievement in Game-Based Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Xiao-Ming Wang; Wen-Qing Zhou; Gwo-Jen Hwang; Shi-Man Wang; Tong Huang – Educational Technology & Society, 2024
Knowing the factors affecting students' learning achievement in digital learning is a crucial educational issue nowadays. However, recent research has paid less attention to how an individual's internal factors (prior knowledge) influence their learning achievement through cognitive engagement, and previous studies generally employed students'…

Interplay of Computational Identity, Learning Experiences, Programming Self-Efficacy, and Computing Aspirations for Adolescents in Urban China
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jiachu Ye; Xiaoyan Lai; Gary Ka Wai Wong; Nantian He – Educational Technology & Society, 2024
Computational thinking (CT) has attracted global research attention. However, the relationship between CT education and later aspirations in computing careers was less explored, and less attention was paid to understanding the intermediary role of computational identity. Based on social cognitive career theory, this study examined the…

Investigating the Period of Switching Roles in Pair Programming in a Primary School
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Zhong, Baichang; Wang, Qiyun; Chen, Jie; Li, Yi – Educational Technology & Society, 2017
Pair programming (PP) is a useful approach to fostering computational thinking for young students. However, there are many factors impacting on the effectiveness of PP. The period of switching roles between the driver and the navigator is often ignored by researchers. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the impact of the switching period on PP.…
