Dan Sun; Chengcong Zhu; Fan Xu; Yan Li; Fan Ouyang; Miaoting Cheng – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
Although previous research has provided some insights into the effects of block-based and text-based programming modalities, there is a dearth of a detailed, multi-dimensional analysis of the transition process from different introductory programming modalities to professional programming learning. This study employed a quasi-experimental design…

Hopcan, Sinan; Polat, Elif; Albayrak, Ebru – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
The pair programming approach is used to overcome the difficulties of the programming process in education environments. In this study, the interaction sequences during the paired programming of preservice teachers was investigated. Lag sequential analysis were used to explore students' behavioral patterns in pair programming. The participants of…

Sun, Dan; Ouyang, Fan; Li, Yan; Chen, Hongyu – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Pair programming is a collaborative learning mode to foster novice learners' computer programming. Previous empirical research has reported contrasting conclusions about the effect of pair programming on student learning. To further understand students' pair programming, this study uses a mixed method to analyze three contrasting pairs'…

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…
