Direct linkSajaniemi, Jorma; Kuittinen, Marja; Tikansalo, Taina – Journal on Educational Resources in Computing, 2008
Students' understanding of object-oriented (OO) program execution was studied by asking students to draw a picture of a program state at a specific moment. Students were given minimal instructions on what to include in their drawings in order to see what they considered to be central concepts and relationships in program execution. Three drawing…

Greitzer, Frank L.; Kuchar, Olga Anna; Huston, Kristy – Journal on Educational Resources in Computing, 2007
Serious games use entertainment principles, creativity, and technology to meet government or corporate training objectives, but these principles alone will not guarantee that the intended learning will occur. To be effective, serious games must incorporate sound cognitive, learning, and pedagogical principles into their design and structure. In…

Douce, Christopher; Livingstone, David; Orwell, James – Journal on Educational Resources in Computing, 2005
Systems that automatically assess student programming assignments have been designed and used for over forty years. Systems that objectively test and mark student programming work were developed simultaneously with programming assessment in the computer science curriculum. This article reviews a number of influential automatic assessment systems,…

Sklar, Elizabeth; Parsons, Simon; Stone, Peter – Journal on Educational Resources in Computing, 2004
In the education literature, team-based projects have proven to be an effective pedagogical methodology. We have been using "RoboCup" challenges as the basis for class projects in undergraduate and masters level courses. This article discusses several independent efforts in this direction and presents our work in the development of shared…

Soh, Leen-Kiat; Samal, Ashok; Nugent, Gwen – Journal on Educational Resources in Computing, 2005
Closed laboratories are becoming an increasingly popular approach to teaching introductory computer science courses, as they facilitate structured problem-solving and cooperation. However, most closed laboratories have been designed and implemented without embedded instructional research components for constant evaluation of the laboratories'…
