Does Motion-Sensing Technology Enhance Students' Learning? A Meta-Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Yu, Qing; Yu, Kun – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Body movements are regarded as part of the learning process. With the evolution of motion-sensing technology (MST) (e.g., Kinect, Xtion Pro, and Leap Motion), educational researchers try to explore the effect of MST on learning. However, the effect of MST on learning performance is still unclear. This is the first meta-analysis that aims to…

Empirical Determination of Competence Areas to Computer Science Education
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Zendler, Andreas; Klaudt, Dieter; Seitz, Cornelia – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2014
The authors discuss empirically determined competence areas to K-12 computer science education, emphasizing the cognitive level of competence. The results of a questionnaire with 120 professors of computer science serve as a database. By using multi-dimensional scaling and cluster analysis, four competence areas to computer science education…

Algorithmic Animation in Education--Review of Academic Experience
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Esponda-Arguero, Margarita – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2008
This article is a review of the pedagogical experience obtained with systems for algorithmic animation. Algorithms consist of a sequence of operations whose effect on data structures can be visualized using a computer. Students learn algorithms by stepping the animation through the different individual operations, possibly reversing their effect.…

A Taxonomy for Computer Software Adoption Policy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Peled, Zimra; And Others – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1992
Proposes a taxonomy to aid decision makers in selecting computer software consistent with their educational values regarding the nature of instruction and the use of information technology, based on beliefs about human development and learning. Characteristics of instruction, properties of software, and the congruence between them are discussed.…
