Paaßen, Benjamin; Jensen, Joris; Hammer, Barbara – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
The first intelligent tutoring systems for computer programming have been proposed more than 30 years ago, mostly focusing on well defined programming tasks e.g. in the context of logic programming. Recent systems also teach complex programs, where explicit modelling of every possible program and mistake is no longer possible. Such systems are…

Siu-Cheung Kong; Yi-Qing Wang – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
This study expands the scope of cognitive evaluation theory (CET) with flow theory by providing a potential explanation for the missing link between motivation and motivational outcomes of students in visual programming learning. It aims to investigate how parental roles impact young students' flow experience in learning from the parents' point of…

Lazarinis, Fotis; Karachristos, Christoforos V.; Stavropoulos, Elias C.; Verykios, Vassilios S. – Education and Information Technologies, 2019
In this paper we report our experiences from a University outreach program with primary and secondary education teachers of various specialties. Our goal was to improve the coding abilities of teachers through Scratch activities. The participants can in turn teach their students, multiplying that way the benefitted population. To increase the…
