Line Have Musaeus; Deborah Tatar; Peter Musaeus – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
Computational modelling is widely used in biological science. Therefore, biology students need to learn computational modelling. However, there is a lack of evidence about how to teach computational modelling in biology and what the effects are on student learning. The purpose of this intervention-control study was to investigate how knowledge in…

Athanasios Christopoulos; Stylianos Mystakidis; Justyna Kurczaba; Mikko-Jussi Laakso; Chrysostomos Stylios – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
Previous studies have found positive effects of Game-Based Learning for mathematics. While most studies assume that this effect is explained by the presence of flow/immersion during games, this has not yet been established. The aim of the current study is to verify if immersion indeed is associated with mathematical skills improvement when using a…

Guggemos, Josef – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) is an important 21st-century skill. This paper aims at investigating predictors of CT self-efficacy among high-school students. The hypothesized predictors are grouped into three areas: (1) student characteristics, (2) home environment, and (3) learning opportunities. CT self-efficacy is measured with the Computational…

Emit Snake-Beings; Andrew Gibbons; Ricardo Sosa – Teaching and Learning Research Initiative, 2024
This study explores learner engagement with Advanced Computational Thinking (ACT) in the New Zealand digital curriculum. "Advanced" in ACT refers to an expansive, transdisciplinary, and future-looking understanding of computational thinking (CT). ACT promotes CT beyond narrow modes of problem-solving (abstraction, algorithmic thinking,…
