The purpose of this study was to develop a framework for analyzing and evaluating student-constructed models of physical phenomena and monitoring the progress of these models. Moreover, we aimed to examine whether this framework could capture differences between models created using different computer-based modeling tools; namely, computer-based…

Kiboss, Joel Kipkemboi – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2012
Achievement in mathematics is an issue of great concern not only to students and parents but also to employers and researchers in Kenya. This is because the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has continuously reported dismal results in this area, and especially in geometry. Also, KNEC indicates that it presents difficulties to both the…

Nevalainen, Seppo; Sajaniemi, Jorma – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2008
When visualization tools utilized in computer programming education have been evaluated empirically, the results have remained controversial. To address this problem, we have developed a model of short-term effects of program animation, and used it in a series of experiments. In the current experiment, we varied visual representation of an…

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.…

Peer reviewedSmith, Philip A.; Webb, Geoffrey I. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2000
Describes "Glass-box Interpreter" a low-level program visualization tool called Bradman designed to provide a conceptual model of C program execution for novice programmers and makes visible aspects of the programming process normally hidden from the user. Presents an experiment that tests the efficacy of Bradman, and provides…

Peer reviewedFrancis, Leslie J.; Evans, Thomas E. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1995
The Bath County Computer Attitude Scale was designed to assess attitudes of students in grades 4-12 toward 5 areas: general computer use, computer-assisted instruction, programming and technical concepts, social issues surrounding computer use, and computer history. The reliability and validity of the instrument is examined. (62 references)…
