Krajcsi, Attila; Csapodi, Csaba; Stettner, Eleonóra – Interactive Learning Environments, 2021
An educational computer game is presented, used for beginner students to introduce some basic concepts of code execution and code writing. In this mini-language microworld game, a code should be written with which a robot can escape from a procedurally generated labyrinth. The game uses a simple language and utilizes a virtual environment, where…

Representing DNA for Machine Learning Algorithms: A Primer on One-Hot, Binary, and Integer Encodings
Yash Munnalal Gupta; Satwika Nindya Kirana; Somjit Homchan – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
This short paper presents an educational approach to teaching three popular methods for encoding DNA sequences: one-hot encoding, binary encoding, and integer encoding. Aimed at bioinformatics and computational biology students, our learning intervention focuses on developing practical skills in implementing these essential techniques for…

Background and Context: Efforts to engage adult learners in computer science in the United States have been largely unsuccessful. While research examining the use of music for teaching computer programming with K-12 learners is emerging, little research with adult learners exists. Objective: This study evaluates the effect of computer coding…

Michael Borcherds; Florian Derflinger; Zoltán Kovács; Ben North – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
We introduce the free web-app PyGgb -- the combination of the well-known programming language Python and the dynamic mathematics system GeoGebra. Motivated by the desire to provide an introduction to Python coding in the familiar context of mathematics and geometry, PyGgb allows GeoGebra constructions to be created using Python code. We outline…

Fan Xu; Ana-Paula Correia – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Computational thinking (CT) is an essential skill for preparing the younger generation to succeed in an AI-driven world, with pair programming emerging as a widely used approach to foster these skills. However, the role of individual factors and mutual engagement in shaping CT skills within pair programming remains underexplored,…

Kesler, Avital; Shamir-Inbal, Tamar; Blau, Ina – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
The integration of visual programming in early formal education has been found to promote computational thinking of students. Teachers' intuitive perspectives about optimal learning processes -- "folk psychology" -- impact their perspectives about teaching "folk pedagogy" and play a significant role in integrating educational…

Hsu, Wen-Chin; Gainsburg, Julie – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Block-based programming languages (BBLs) have been proposed as a way to prepare students for learning to program in more sophisticated, text-based languages, such as Java. Hybrid BBLs add the ability to view and edit the block commands in auto-generated, text-based code. We compared the use of a non-hybrid BBL (Scratch), a hybrid BBL (Pencil…

Abdulrahman Alshammari – ProQuest LLC, 2024
A critical component of modern software development practices, particularly continuous integration (CI), is the halt of development activities in response to test failures which requires further investigation and debugging. As software changes, regression testing becomes vital to verify that new code does not affect existing functionality.…

Shi, Yang; Schmucker, Robin; Chi, Min; Barnes, Tiffany; Price, Thomas – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Knowledge components (KCs) have many applications. In computing education, knowing the demonstration of specific KCs has been challenging. This paper introduces an entirely data-driven approach for: (1) discovering KCs; and (2) demonstrating KCs, using students' actual code submissions. Our system is based on two expected properties of KCs: (1)…

Seckin-Kapucu, Munise – Journal of Education in Science, Environment and Health, 2023
This study aims to examine the methodological trends and findings in studies on robotic coding in science education published between 2015-2022 comprehensively and holistically. For this purpose, the articles related to the subject were systematically reviewed. In addition, web of Science and SCOPUS databases were scanned for keywords related to…

Today, due to the size of many genomes and the increasingly large sizes of sequencing files, independently analyzing sequencing data is largely impossible for a biologist with little to no programming expertise. As such, biologists are typically faced with the dilemma of either having to spend a significant amount of time and effort to learn how…

Abdullahi Yusuf; Amiru Yusuf Muhammad – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
The study investigates the potential of anxiety clusters in predicting programming performance in two distinct coding environments. Participants comprised 83 second-year programming students who were randomly assigned to either a block-based or a text-based group. Anxiety-induced behaviors were assessed using physiological measures (Apple Watch…

This paper considers how a curricular design that integrated computer programming and creative movement shaped students' engagement with computing. We draw on data from a camp for middle schoolers, focusing on an activity in which students used the programming environment NetLogo to re-represent their physical choreography. We analyze the extent…
