Fuentes, Pablo; Camarero, Cristobal; Herreros, David; Mateev, Vladimir; Vallejo, Fernando; Martinez, Carmen – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2022
Understanding the architecture of a processor can be uninteresting and deterring for computer science students, since low-level details of computer architecture are often perceived to lack real-world impact. These courses typically have a strong practical component where students learn the fundamentals of the computer architecture and the handling…

Kim, Yeolib; Jeong, Hye In – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
The recent push to introduce coding in early childhood education has been the subject of heated debate. A lack of theoretical and empirical research devoted to understanding coding education acceptance provided the motivation for this article. As a way to engage in the debate, this article investigated kindergarten teachers' acceptance of coding…

Cárdenas-Cobo, Jesennia; Puris, Amilkar; Novoa-Hernández, Pavel; Galindo, José Angel; Benavides, David – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2020
Learning computer programming is a challenging process. Among the current approaches for overcoming this challenge, visual programming languages (VPLs), such as Scratch, have shown very promising results for beginners. Interestingly, some higher education institutions have started to use VPLs to introduce basic programming concepts, mainly in CS1…

dos Santos Lopes, Maísa Soares; Gomes, Iago Pacheco; Trindade, Roque M. P.; da Silva, Alzira F.; de C. Lima, Antonio C. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2017
Remote robotics laboratories have been successfully used for engineering education. However, few of them use mobile robots to to teach computer science. This article describes a mobile robot Control and Programming Environment (CPE) and its pedagogical applications. The system comprises a remote laboratory for robotics, an online programming tool,…

Ibáñez, Maria-Blanca; Di-Serio, Ángela; Delgado-Kloos, Carlos – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2014
Gamification is the use of game design elements in non-game settings to engage participants and encourage desired behaviors. It has been identified as a promising technique to improve students' engagement which could have a positive impact on learning. This study evaluated the learning effectiveness and engagement appeal of a gamified learning…

Derntl, M.; Neumann, S.; Griffiths, D.; Oberhuemer, P. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2012
IMS Learning Design (LD) is the only available interoperability specification in the area of technology enhanced learning that allows the definition and orchestration of complex activity flows and resource environments in a multirole setting. IMS LD has been available since 2003, and yet it has not been widely adopted either by practitioners or by…

Amelung, M.; Krieger, K.; Rosner, D. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2011
Assessment is an essential element in learning processes. It is therefore not unsurprising that almost all learning management systems (LMSs) offer support for assessment, e.g., for the creation, execution, and evaluation of multiple choice tests. We have designed and implemented generic support for assessment that is based on assignments that…
