Shin, Yoonhee; Jung, Jaewon; Zumbach, Joerg; Yi, Eunseon – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
This study explores the effects of worked-out examples and metacognitive scaffolding on novice learners' knowledge performance, cognitive loads, and self-regulation skills in problem-solving programming. 126 undergraduate students in a computer programming fundamentals course were randomly assigned to one of four groups: (1) task performance with…

Chih-Hung Chen; Hsiang-Yu Chung – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
Computational thinking (CT) has gained considerable attention and in-depth discussion over the last two decades. Although the significance of CT has been highlighted, it could be challenging for educators to teach CT. Fortunately, adopting robots in education has been evidenced to be of benefit to promoting students' learning motivation, CT, and…

Gao, Xuemin; Hew, Khe Foon – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Reintroducing computer science (CS) education in K-12 schools to promote computational thinking (CT) has attracted significant attention among scholars and educators. Among the several essential components included in CS and CT education, program debugging is an indispensable skill. However, debugging teaching has often been overlooked in K-12…

Toukiloglou, Pavlos; Xinogalos, Stelios – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
Serious games are considered an effective method to engage students in programming education and have been increasingly used in classrooms. An important part of the learning process with serious games involves the presentation of the new concepts and the provided support to encounter student difficulties. Although the most common approach is the…

Hsu, Wen-Chin; Gainsburg, Julie – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Block-based programming languages (BBLs) have been proposed as a way to prepare students for learning to program in more sophisticated, text-based languages, such as Java. Hybrid BBLs add the ability to view and edit the block commands in auto-generated, text-based code. We compared the use of a non-hybrid BBL (Scratch), a hybrid BBL (Pencil…

An Investigation of High School Students' Errors in Introductory Programming: A Data-Driven Approach
Qian, Yizhou; Lehman, James – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2020
This study implemented a data-driven approach to identify Chinese high school students' common errors in a Java-based introductory programming course using the data in an automated assessment tool called the Mulberry. Students' error-related behaviors were also analyzed, and their relationships to success in introductory programming were…

P. Rose, Simon; Habgood, M. P. Jacob; Jay, Tim – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2020
The recent shift in compulsory education from ICT-focused computing curricula to informatics, digital literacy and computer science, has resulted in children being taught computing using block-based programming tools such as Scratch, with teaching that is often limited by school resources and teacher expertise. Even without these limitations,…
