Miitta Järvinen; Katriina Sipiläinen; Janne Roslöf; Sami Lehesvuori; Lauri Kettunen; Raija Hämäläinen – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2025
This study explored the learning experiences of first-year information technology students at the beginning of their studies. Identifying the early experiences is important, as we know they can predict later challenges and persistence in studies. We focus on a novel understanding of relations between learning approaches, self-efficacy and burnout…

De Santo, Alessio; Farah, Juan Carlos; Martinez, Marc Lafuente; Moro, Arielle; Bergram, Kristoffer; Purohit, Aditya Kumar; Felber, Pascal; Gillet, Denis; Holzer, Adrian – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2022
Computational thinking (CT) skills are becoming increasingly relevant for future professionals across all domains, beyond computer science (CS). As such, an increasing number of bachelor's and master's programs outside of the CS discipline integrate CT courses within their study program. At the same time, tools such as notebooks and interactive…

Woods, David M. – Information Systems Education Journal, 2023
Schools have implemented the high-impact practice of first-year experience (FYE) courses to assist students with the transition to college. These courses help connect new students to the school with the goal of improving retention. While students in computing majors face the same challenges as other new college students, they also face some…

Wilinski, Antoni; Kupracz, Lukasz – Informatics in Education, 2020
The aim of the article is to determine in the studied groups the multiple intelligence distribution defined in the 1980s by Howard Gardner. The research was conducted in three groups of respondents. The first study group was first-year students of computer science, the second was master (2nd degree) students, educationally 4 years older than the…

Schreglmann, Sinan – Journal of Education and Learning, 2018
This study aimed to develop Academic Motivation Scale for Learning Information Technology for university students. For this purpose, 120 randomly selected university students studying in different classes and faculties at KSU were invited to the study during the 2016-2017 academic year. To define the scale indicators students were asked to answer…

Kori, Külli; Pedaste, Margus; Must, Olev – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2018
Low retention rates in higher education Information Technology (IT) studies have led to an unmet demand for IT specialists. Therefore, universities need to apply interventions to increase retention rates and provide the labor market with more IT graduates. However, students with different characteristics may need different types of interventions.…

Tsai, Chia-Wen; Shen, Pei-Di; Tsai, Meng-Chuan; Chen, Wen-Yu – Interactive Learning Environments, 2017
Much application software education in Taiwan can hardly be regarded as practical. The researchers in this study provided a flexible means of ubiquitous learning (u-learning) with a mobile app for students to access the learning material. In addition, the authors also adopted computational thinking (CT) to help students develop practical computing…

Wu, Ye-Chi; Ma, Lee Wei; Jiau, Hewijin Christine – Educational Technology & Society, 2013
Programming assignments are commonly used in computer science education to encourage students to practice target concepts and evaluate their learning status. Ensuring students are engaged in such assignments is critical in attracting and retaining students. To this end, WebHat, a service-based program evaluation platform, is introduced in this…

Chang, Chih-Kai – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2014
Scratch, a visual programming language, was used in many studies in computer science education. Most of them reported positive results by integrating Scratch into K-12 computer courses. However, the object-oriented concept, one of the important computational thinking skills, is not represented well in Scratch. Alice, another visual programming…
