Martínez, Salvador; Wimmer, Manuel; Cabot, Jordi – Computer Science Education, 2020
Background and Context: Reports suggest plagiarism is a common occurrence in universities. While plagiarism detection mechanisms exist for textual artifacts, this is less so for non-code related ones such as software design artifacts like models, metamodels or model transformations. Objective: To provide an efficient mechanism for the detection of…

Sorva, Juha; Lönnberg, Jan; Malmi, Lauri – Computer Science Education, 2013
Visual program simulation (VPS) is a new, interactive form of educational program visualisation, in which learners use graphical controls to direct a program's execution rather than simply watching an animation of it. In this article, we report on a qualitative empirical study of novice programmers learning through VPS. From an analysis of…

Sondergaard, Harald; Mulder, Raoul A. – Computer Science Education, 2012
We examine student peer review, with an emphasis on formative practice and collaborative learning, rather than peer grading. Opportunities to engage students in such formative peer assessment are growing, as a range of online tools become available to manage and simplify the process of administering student peer review. We consider whether…

Boustedt, Jonas – Computer Science Education, 2009
The current paper describes an empirical study with the aim of producing insights about how students experience programming and software engineering. The research aims to investigate the students' world, and hence, we have chosen a phenomenographic approach. Our questions focus on the students' experiences of concepts related to a realistic…

Ala-Mutka, Kirsti M. – Computer Science Education, 2005
Practical programming is one of the basic skills pursued in computer science education. On programming courses, the coursework consists of programming assignments that need to be assessed from different points of view. Since the submitted assignments are executable programs with a formal structure, some features can be assessed automatically. The…

Lancaster, Thomas; Culwin, Fintan – Computer Science Education, 2004
Automated techniques for finding plagiarism in student source code submissions have been in use for over 20 years and there are many available engines and services. This paper reviews the literature on the major modern detection engines, providing a comparison of them based upon the metrics and techniques they deploy. Generally the most common and…
