Beckman, Matthew D.; Çetinkaya-Rundel, Mine; Horton, Nicholas J.; Rundel, Colin W.; Sullivan, Adam J.; Tackett, Maria – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
A version control system records changes to a file or set of files over time so that changes can be tracked and specific versions of a file can be recalled later. As such, it is an essential element of a reproducible workflow that deserves due consideration among the learning objectives of statistics courses. This article describes experiences and…

Dawar, Deepak – Information Systems Education Journal, 2022
Learning computer programming is a challenging task for most beginners. Demotivation and learned helplessness are pretty common. A novel instructional technique that leverages the value-expectancy motivational model of student learning was conceptualized by the author to counter the lack of motivation in the introductory class. The result was a…

Malik, Sohail Iqbal; Mathew, Roy; Al-Nuaimi, Rim; Al-Sideiri, Abir; Coldwell-Neilson, Jo – Education and Information Technologies, 2019
Problem solving skills are considered an integral part of grasping the precise concepts of the programming domain for novices in introductory programming (IP) courses. But these skills are mostly covered only in early lectures of such courses or are included in just a few early chapters of some relevant textbooks. Consequently, high failure and…

Tomic, Bojan; Jovanovic, Jelena; Milikic, Nikola; Devedžic, Vladan; Dimitrijevic, Sonja; Ðuric, Dragan; Ševarac, Zoran – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
Well-developed programming (technical) skills are very important for software engineers, information systems engineers and programmers in general. However, they must also possess relevant personal skills (soft skills) to be successful at the workplace (eg, collaboration, solving real-world problems and communication). The latter, however, are…

Keuning, Hieke; Jeuring, Johan; Heeren, Bastiaan – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2019
Formative feedback, aimed at helping students to improve their work, is an important factor in learning. Many tools that offer programming exercises provide automated feedback on student solutions. We have performed a systematic literature review to find out what kind of feedback is provided, which techniques are used to generate the feedback, how…

Lin, Yu-Tzu; Wu, Cheng-Chih; Hou, Ting-Yun; Lin, Yu-Chih; Yang, Fang-Ying; Chang, Chia-Hu – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2016
This study explores students' cognitive processes while debugging programs by using an eye tracker. Students' eye movements during debugging were recorded by an eye tracker to investigate whether and how high- and low-performance students act differently during debugging. Thirty-eight computer science undergraduates were asked to debug two C…
