Samer Hanna – International Journal of Learning Technology, 2024
It is important that software testing courses at universities provide students with testing skills that are close to the skills needed by industry. To investigate if these courses do accomplish this role, this research provides comparison and empirical analysis of the topics provided by 80 software testing courses in nine countries around the…

Sonia Lorente; Mónica Arnal-Palacián; Maximiliano Paredes-Velasco – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
The European Higher Education Area (EHEA) proposes to enhance active learning and student protagonism in order to improve academic performance. In this sense, different methodologies are emerging to create scenarios for self-regulation of their learning. In this study the cooperative, collaborative and interdisciplinary learning methodologies were…

Diana Kirk; Andrew Luxton-Reilly; Ewan Tempero – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
Objectives: Code style is an important aspect of text-based programming because programs written with good style are considered easier to understand and change and so improve the maintainability of the delivered software product. However teaching code style is complicated by the existence of many style guides and standards that contain…

Prates, Jorge Marques; Melo, Silvana Morita; Valle, Pedro Henrique Dias; Garcia, Rogério Eduardo; Maldonado, José Carlos – Informatics in Education, 2023
Nowadays, SPOCs (Small Private Online Courses) have been used as complementary methods to support classroom teaching. SPOCs are courses that apply the usage of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), combining classroom with online education, making them an exciting alternative for contexts such as emergency remote teaching. Although SPOCs have been…

Václav Dobiáš; Václav Šimandl; Jirí Vanícek – Informatics in Education, 2024
The paper discusses an alternative method of assessing the difficulty of pupils' programming tasks to determine their age appropriateness. Building a program takes the form of its successive iterations. Thus, it is possible to monitor the number of times such a program was built by the solver. The variance of the number of program builds can be…

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…

Akdur, Deniz – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2023
Many practitioners might struggle with becoming productive in different software engineering (SE) roles due to misalignment of the skills learnt during the university time with what is expected in the industry. Companies spend significant resources to train the personnel, whose academic backgrounds are not only based on "computing…

Raweewarn Rattanakha; Pinanta Chatwattana – Higher Education Studies, 2023
The problem-based learning model via cloud technology (PBL model via cloud technology) is a research tool fabricated with the concepts of problem-based learning management, in which students are stimulated and enabled to foresee the problems that will arise. Also, in this learning style, teachers will define the problem situations and encourage…

Barbosa, Marcelo Werneck – International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning, 2022
Project-based learning (PBL) approaches are common in software engineering (SE) and project management education. However, the blended learning modality is still little explored in this context. The application of PBL in blended learning environments is called blended project-based learning (BPBL). In order to fill in this research gap, this study…
