Ting-Ting Wu; Edi Sarwono; Yueh-Min Huang – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Virtual laboratories are used to supplement or even replace physical laboratories in engineering education. Although these virtual laboratories allow students to learn foundational experimental skills, they do not provide the learners with the chance to develop higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). Computational thinking (CT) is an…

Stelz-Sullivan, Eleanor J.; Marchetti, Barbara; Karsili, Tolga – Education Sciences, 2022
Computational and atmospheric chemistry are two important branches of contemporary chemistry. With the present topical nature of climate change and global warming, it is more crucial than ever that students are aware of and exposed to atmospheric chemistry, with an emphasis on how modeling may aid in understanding how atmospherically relevant…

Selena Steinberg; Melissa Gresalfi; Lauren Vogelstein; Corey Brady – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2024
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…

Echeverri-Jimenez, Emmanuel; Oliver-Hoyo, Maria – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Gaussian-2-Blender is an open-source application programming interface (API) written in Python that allows for the conversion of Gaussian input files to 3D objects of different formats. This new tool was developed in response to the shortcomings of available programs to import Gaussian calculations into augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality…

Serkan Solmaz; Liesbeth Kester; Tom Van Gerven – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Virtual reality has become a significant asset to diversify the existing toolkit supporting engineering education and training. The cognitive and behavioral advantages of virtual reality (VR) can help lecturers reduce entry barriers to concepts that students struggle with. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are imperative tools…

Daniel A. Mak; Sebastian Dunn; David Coombes; Carlo R. Carere; Jane R. Allison; Volker Nock; André O. Hudson; Renwick C. J. Dobson – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
Enzymes are nature's catalysts, mediating chemical processes in living systems. The study of enzyme function and mechanism includes defining the maximum catalytic rate and affinity for substrate/s (among other factors), referred to as enzyme kinetics. Enzyme kinetics is a staple of biochemistry curricula and other disciplines, from molecular and…

Gao, Hong; Hasenbein, Lisa; Bozkir, Efe; Göllner, Richard; Kasneci, Enkelejda – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2023
Understanding existing gender differences in the development of computational thinking skills is increasingly important for gaining valuable insights into bridging the gender gap. However, there are few studies to date that have examined gender differences based on the learning process in a realistic classroom context. In this work, we aim to…

Brady, Corey – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
This paper outlines the potential gains for Constructionist research and praxis in modelling that might be obtained by recognising the power of the Patch--a humble computational being in the NetLogo modelling environment that has been overshadowed by its more popular fellow agent, the Turtle. To contextualise this opportunity, I describe how…

Chan, Wendy; Oh, Jimin – Journal of Experimental Education, 2023
Many generalization studies in education are typically based on a sample of 30-70 schools while the inference population is at least twenty times larger. This small sample to population size ratio limits the precision of design-based estimators of the population average treatment effect. Prior work has shown the potential of small area estimation…

Joaqui´n Gonza´lez; Eduardo Laborda; A´ngela Molina – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Theoretical and practical foundations of basic electrochemical concepts of heterogeneous charge transfer reactions that underline electrochemical processes are presented for their detailed study by undergraduate and postgraduate students. Several simple methods for calculating key variables, such as the half-wave potential, limiting current, and…

Gómez Siurana, Amparo; Font Escamilla, Alicia – Chemical Engineering Education, 2022
Examples of applications of equilibrium-based methods for multicomponent separations usually require the use of simulation packages, which do not allow students to follow the involved algorithms step by step. Excel spreadsheets with examples of six such rigorous methods have been used with MSc students of Chemical Engineering of the University of…

Chyanna Wee; Lillian Yee Kiaw Wang; Huey Fang Ong – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
This study presents the development of a student-centric framework for utilizing virtual reality (VR) technologies in education, specifically focusing on enhancing computational thinking skills. While numerous frameworks exist in this domain, they often lack consideration of student preferences, which are integral for fostering learner autonomy.…

Barlow, Elizabeth K.; Barlow, Angela T.; Nadelson, Louis S. – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2023
Advancements in computing have led to increased interest in integrating computational thinking in the K-12 curriculum. Computational thinking can be defined as a problem-solving process with the goal of developing algorithms that can be coded for computer use. With its emphasis on problem solving, the processes associated with computational…

Ipek Isik Arslanoglu; Serhat Bahadir Kert; Ismail Tonbuloglu – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
This study aims to examine the effect of augmented reality-assisted programming education supported by participatory design on the basic and computational thinking skills of preschoolers. In the study, a pretest-posttest single-group semi-experimental design, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used. The study group of the…
