Yin-Rong Zhang; Zhong-Mei Han; Tao He; Chang-Qin Huang; Fan Jiang; Gang Yang; Xue-Mei Wu – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Collaborative programming is important and challenging for K12 students. Scaffolding is a vital method to support students' collaborative programming learning. However, conventional scaffolding that does not fade may lead students to become overly dependent, resulting in unsatisfactory programming performance. Objectives: This study…

Lihui Sun; Danhua Zhou – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Integrating programming in K-12 curriculum has become a global consensus. Teachers are central figures in programming instruction. But the majority of current research focuses on teachers' external teaching behaviours and less on teachers' attitudes towards programming. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to validate the K-12…

Asma Hadyaoui; Lilia Cheniti-Belcadhi – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Project-based collaborative learning (PBCL) is a technique that supports knowledge and skill development through complex, real-world projects. Understanding factors that influence group performance in PBCL, such as gender composition, is crucial. Objectives: This study investigates the impact of gender composition on group performance…

Sun, Lihui; Hu, Linlin; Yang, Weipeng; Zhou, Danhua; Wang, Xiaoqian – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
Computational thinking (CT) plays a vital role in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). However, whether students' learning attitude towards STEM is related to their CT skills remains unknown. Two studies were conducted to address this knowledge gap. In Study 1, we validated a newly developed STEM learning attitude…

Chen, Chen; Sonnert, Gerhard; Sadler, Philip M.; Malan, David J. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2020
Massive open online course (MOOC) studies have shown that precourse skills (such as precomputational thinking) and course engagement measures (such as making multiple submission attempts with assignments when the initial submission is incorrect) predict students' grade performance, yet little is known about whether these factors predict students'…

Mercier, E. M.; Barron, B.; O'Connor, K. M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2006
Gender differences in the pursuit of technology careers are a current issue of concern. We report on two studies that use surveys, drawings and interviews to examine sixth- and eighth-grade students' perceptions of knowledgeable computer users and their self-perception as a computer-type person. In Study 1, participants were asked to generate…
