Bayan Masarwa; Hagit Hel-Or; Sharona T. Levy – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2024
Computational thinking (CT) activities are increasingly being integrated into early childhood schools. We focus on studying children's learning using an "unplugged" (non-computational) learning unit that considers a teacher's knowledge and classroom space and affords seamless adaptation into the classroom given the objects used in the…

Carina Büscher – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
Computational thinking (CT) is becoming increasingly important as a learning content. Subject-integrated approaches aim to develop CT within other subjects like mathematics. The question is how exactly CT can be integrated and learned in mathematics classrooms. In a case study involving 12 sixth-grade learners, CT activities were explored that…

Loïs Vanhée; Karin Danielsson; Lena Enqvist; Kalle Grill; Melania Borit – European Journal of Education, 2024
Whereas hackathons are widespread within and outside academia and have been argued to be a valid pedagogical method for teaching interdisciplinarity, no detailed frameworks or methods are available for conceptualizing and organizing educational hackathons, i.e., hackathons dedicated to best achieving pedagogic objectives. This paper is dedicated…

Monika Mladenovic; Lucija Medak; Divna Krpan – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
Computer Science (CS) Unplugged activities are designed to engage students with CS concepts. It is an active learning approach combining physical interaction with visual representation. This research article investigates the impact of CS Unplugged on students' understanding of the bubble sort algorithm. Algorithm visualization, traditionally…

Nursel Ugur; Ünal Çakiroglu – International Journal of Technology in Education and Science, 2024
Facilitating Computer Science Unplugged (CS-unplugged) activities with reflective thinking activities lead students to in-depth reviews of their decisions and think of ways to solve the CS-unplugged problems. This study aims to evaluate the instruction enriched with reflective thinking activities to develop computational thinking skills. The study…

Allen, Oliver; Downs, Xavier; Varoy, Elliot; Luxton-Reilly, Andrew; Giacaman, Nasser – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2022
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is not only an integral part of computing degrees but also a requirement in non-computing majors such as engineering. Understanding OOP concepts can be difficult for novice programmers, and often leads to the development of misconceptions. This is exacerbated when the discipline requires students to learn a…

AlGhamdi, Rayed – International Journal of Technology in Education, 2023
Soft skills development, such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving, is critical for computer students as they enter the profession. Students may be able to practice these skills in a virtual setting through an online task-based course. In this study, we investigated how successfully an online task-based course encouraged the development…

Barbosa Rocha, Hemilis Joyse; Cabral De Azevedo Restelli Tedesco, Patrícia; De Barros Costa, Evandro – Informatics in Education, 2023
In programming problem solving activities, sometimes, students need feedback to progress in the course, being positively affected by the received feedback. This paper presents an overview of the state of the art and practice of the feedback approaches on introductory programming. To this end, we have carried out a systematic literature mapping to…

Yan Lin; Hongjian Liao; Suxian Weng; Wanqi Dong – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Children's preschool years are crucial for the development of computational thinking (CT) skills. However, debate continues regarding whether CT should be developed through plugged-in or unplugged activities. This study investigated the similarities and differences between plugged-in and unplugged activities with similar learning content and…

Li, Wei; Liu, Cheng-Ye; Tseng, Judy C. R. – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Collaborative programming can develop computational thinking and knowledge of computational programming. However, the researchers pointed out that because students often fail to mobilize metacognition to regulate and control their cognitive activities in a cooperation, this results in poor learning effects. Especially low-achieving students need…

Donald M. Johnson; Will Doss; Christopher M. Estepp – Natural Sciences Education, 2024
Microcontrollers are widely used in agriculture, yet most undergraduate agriculture students do not have the programming skills necessary to make use of these devices in their academic programs or careers. However, generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, such as ChatGPT, have the ability to write complex microcontroller programs when…

Alex Fegely; Cory Gleasman; Tammi Kolski – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Computer science teaching standards for grades K-8 have been implemented in nearly all U.S. states, and the core subject area teachers (e.g., math, science, English, social studies) have been asked to integrate these standards into their instruction. Thus, it is important that K-8 pre-service teachers of all subjects are both prepared and…
