Daniele Traversaro; Giorgio Delzanno; Giovanna Guerrini – Informatics in Education, 2024
Concurrency is a complex to learn topic that is becoming more and more relevant, such that many undergraduate Computer Science curricula are introducing it in introductory programming courses. This paper investigates the combined use of Sonic Pi and Team-Based Learning to mitigate the difficulties in early exposure to concurrency. Sonic Pi, a…

Carlos Sandoval-Medina; Carlos Argelio Arévalo-Mercado; Estela Lizbeth Muñoz-Andrade; Jaime Muñoz-Arteaga – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2024
Learning basic programming concepts in computer science-related fields poses a challenge for students, to the extent that it becomes an academic-social problem, resulting in high failure and dropout rates. Proposed solutions to the problem can be found in the literature, such as the development of new programming languages and environments, the…

Eunsung Park; Jongpil Cheon – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2025
Debugging is essential for identifying and rectifying errors in programming, yet time constraints and students' trivialization of errors often hinder progress. This study examines differences in debugging challenges and strategies among students with varying computational thinking (CT) competencies using weekly coding journals from an online…

Teck Kiang Tan – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2024
The procedures of carrying out factorial invariance to validate a construct were well developed to ensure the reliability of the construct that can be used across groups for comparison and analysis, yet mainly restricted to the frequentist approach. This motivates an update to incorporate the growing Bayesian approach for carrying out the Bayesian…

Podworny, Susanne; Hüsing, Sven; Schulte, Carsten – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
Data science surrounds us in contexts as diverse as climate change, air pollution, route-finding, genomics, market manipulation, and movie recommendations. To open the "data-science-black-box" for lower secondary school students, we developed a data science teaching unit focusing on the analysis of environmental data, which we embedded…

Cheers, Hayden; Lin, Yuqing; Yan, Weigen – Informatics in Education, 2023
Source code plagiarism is a common occurrence in undergraduate computer science education. Many source code plagiarism detection tools have been proposed to address this problem. However, most of these tools only measure the similarity between assignment submissions, and do not actually identify which are suspicious of plagiarism. This work…

Ainsley Miller; Kate Pyper – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
R is becoming the standard for teaching statistics due to its flexibility, and open-source nature, replacing software programs like Minitab and SPSS. The main driver for reform within Scottish statistical undergraduate programs is the creation of the Scottish Qualification Authority's Higher Applications of Mathematics course which has statistics…

Rebeckah K. Fussell; Megan Flynn; Anil Damle; Michael F. J. Fox; N. G. Holmes – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) hold significant promise for improving physics education research that uses machine learning. In this study, we compare the application of various models for conducting a large-scale analysis of written text grounded in a physics education research classification problem: identifying skills in…

Hosseini, Roya; Akhuseyinoglu, Kamil; Brusilovsky, Peter; Malmi, Lauri; Pollari-Malmi, Kerttu; Schunn, Christian; Sirkiä, Teemu – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2020
This research is focused on how to support students' acquisition of program construction skills through worked examples. Although examples have been consistently proven to be valuable for student's learning, the learning technology for computer science education lacks program construction examples with interactive elements that could engage…

Gerard Dummer; Elwin Savelsbergh; Paul Drijvers – Informatics in Education, 2025
Programmed control systems are ubiquitous in the present-day world. In current educational practice, however, these systems are hardly being addressed, and little is known about children's spontaneous understandings about such systems. Therefore, we explored pupils' understandings prior to instruction in three concrete settings: a car park, an…

Endler Marcel Borges – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
An understanding of statistical concepts is necessary for a chemist with a complete education. Here, statistical tests were taught using the R Commander and the Factoshiny packages. These packages run on R software and have a graphical user interface (GUI), which allows students to do statistical tests quickly and easily. These packages were…

Guozhu Ding; Xiangyi Shi; Shan Li – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
In this study, we developed a classification system of programming errors based on the historical data of 680,540 programming records collected on the Online Judge platform. The classification system described six types of programming errors (i.e., syntax, logical, type, writing, misunderstanding, and runtime errors) and their connections with…

Lin Zhang; Qiang Jiang; Weiyan Xiong; Wei Zhao – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2025
This study seeks to deepen the understanding of the direct and indirect effects of human-computer dialogic interaction programming activities, facilitated by ChatGPT, on student engagement. Data were collected from 109 Chinese high school students who engaged in programming tasks using either ChatGPT-driven dialogic interaction or traditional pair…

Fuchimoto, Kazuma; Ishii, Takatoshi; Ueno, Maomi – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2022
Educational assessments often require uniform test forms, for which each test form has equivalent measurement accuracy but with a different set of items. For uniform test assembly, an important issue is the increase of the number of assembled uniform tests. Although many automatic uniform test assembly methods exist, the maximum clique algorithm…
