Pallavi Singh; Phat K. Huynh; Dang Nguyen; Trung Q. Le; Wilfrido Moreno – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2025
In organizational and academic settings, the strategic formation of teams is paramount, necessitating an approach that transcends conventional methodologies. This study introduces a novel application of multicriteria integer programming (MCIP), which simultaneously accommodates multiple criteria, thereby innovatively addressing the complex task of…

Sohum Bhatt; Katrien Verbert; Wim Van Den Noortgate – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2024
Computational thinking (CT) is a concept of growing importance to pre-university education. Yet, CT is often assessed through results, rather than by looking at the CT process itself. Process-based assessments, or assessments that model how a student completed a task, could instead investigate the process of CT as a formative assessment. In this…

The Affordances of Multivariate Elo-Based Learner Modeling in Game-Based Assessment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Ruiperez-Valiente, Jose A.; Kim, Yoon Jeon; Baker, Ryan S.; Martinez, Pedro A.; Lin, Grace C. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
Previous research and experiences have indicated the potential that games have in educational settings. One of the possible uses of games in education is as game-based assessments (GBA), using game tasks to generate evidence about skills and content knowledge that can be valuable. There are different approaches in the literature to implement the…

What Challenges Emerge When Students Engage with Algorithmatizing Tasks?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Tupouniua, John Griffith – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2023
A critical part of supporting the development of students' algorithmic thinking is understanding the challenges that emerge when students engage with algorithmatizing tasks--tasks that require the creation of an algorithm. Knowledge of these challenges can serve as a basis upon which educators can build effective strategies for enhancing students'…

Expanded Notions of Computational Thinking: The Makerspace as a Space of Possibilities
Direct linkDirect link
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,…

Preteaching versus Concurrent Teaching of Component Skills of a Subtraction Algorithm to Skill-Deficient Second Graders: A Components Analysis of Direct Instruction.
Kameenui, Edward J.; Carnine, Douglas W. – Exceptional Child, 1986
Significant differences were found favoring skill-deficient second-graders (N=10) provided with repeated preteaching trials on a selected component skill of a subtraction algorithm before they worked the entire algorithm over students (N=10) who, from the beginning of training, received systematic instruction on working the entire algorithm.…
