Efecan, Can Fatih; Sendag, Serkan; Gedik, Nuray – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Learning programming is a painful process for most students, especially those learning text- based programming languages. In this study, based on the principle of Bandura's social learning theory, the vicarious real-life experiences of several pioneers in the field of IT and programming were presented as 15-minutes stories to a group of 9th…

Chenoweth, Tim; Corral, Karen; Scott, Kit – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2016
This study evaluates two content delivery options for teaching a programming language to determine whether an asynchronous format can achieve the same learning efficacy as a traditional lecture (face-to-face) format. We use media synchronicity theory as a guide to choose media capabilities to incorporate into an asynchronous tutorial used…
