Davi Bernardo Silva; Deborah Ribeiro Carvalho; Carlos N. Silla – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
Throughout a programming course, students develop various source code tasks. Using these tasks to track students' progress can provide clues to the strengths and weaknesses found in each learning topic. This practice allows the teacher to intervene in learning in the first few weeks of class and maximize student gains. However, the biggest…

Oliveira Moraes, Laura; Pedreira, Carlos Eduardo – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2021
Manually determining concepts present in a group of questions is a challenging and time-consuming process. However, the process is an essential step while modeling a virtual learning environment since a mapping between concepts and questions using mastery level assessment and recommendation engines is required. In this article, we investigated…

Marwan, Samiha; Akram, Bita; Barnes, Tiffany; Price, Thomas W. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2022
Theories on learning show that formative feedback that is immediate, specific, corrective, and positive is essential to improve novice students' motivation and learning. However, most prior work on programming feedback focuses on highlighting student's mistakes, or detecting failed test cases after they submit a solution. In this article, we…

Liu, Fang; Zhao, Liang; Zhao, Jiayi; Dai, Qin; Fan, Chunlong; Shen, Jun – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2022
Educational process mining is now a promising method to provide decision-support information for the teaching-learning process via finding useful educational guidance from the event logs recorded in the learning management system. Existing studies mainly focus on mining students' problem-solving skills or behavior patterns and intervening in…

Software engineers are tasked with writing functionally correct code of high quality. Maintainability is a crucial code quality attribute that determines the ease of analyzing, modifying, reusing, and testing a software component. This quality attribute significantly affects the software's lifetime cost, contributing to developer productivity and…

Kim, Yeolib; Jeong, Hye In – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
The recent push to introduce coding in early childhood education has been the subject of heated debate. A lack of theoretical and empirical research devoted to understanding coding education acceptance provided the motivation for this article. As a way to engage in the debate, this article investigated kindergarten teachers' acceptance of coding…

Celepkolu, Mehmet; Galdo, Aisha Chung; Boyer, Kristy Elizabeth – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2022
As children develop conversational skills such as taking turns and openly listening to ideas, they often experience conflicts and inequity within collaborative dialogue for learning. Previous research suggests that increasing children's awareness about their own behaviors during collaboration may help them adjust their behaviors and become better…

Viswanathan, Sree Aurovindh; VanLehn, Kurt – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2018
Effective collaboration between student peers is not spontaneous. A system that can measure collaboration in real-time may be useful, as it could alert an instructor to pairs that need help in collaborating effectively. We tested whether superficial measures of speech and user interface actions would suffice for measuring collaboration. Pairs of…

Shoufan, Abdulhadi; Lu, Zheng; Huss, Sorin A. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2015
This paper presents a web-based education platform for the visualization and animation of the digital logic design process. This includes the design of combinatorial circuits using logic gates, multiplexers, decoders, and look-up-tables as well as the design of finite state machines. Various configurations of finite state machines can be selected…

Tan, Esther; So, Hyo-Jeong – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2015
This paper investigates the relationship between activity design and discourse on a mobile learning trail, considering the physical affordances of the real world platform in designing contextual learning experiences. We adopted a "context-oriented" and "process-oriented" pedagogical approach in designing the mobile learning…
