Debora Lui; Deborah A. Fields; Yasmin B. Kafai – Cognition and Instruction, 2024
Debugging (or troubleshooting) provides a rich context to foster problem-solving. Yet, while we know much about some problems and strategies that novices face in programming on-screen, we know far less about debugging and troubleshooting in the context of physical computing, where coding issues may overlap with materially embedded problems. In…

Lockwood, Elise – Cognition and Instruction, 2022
In this paper, I discuss undergraduate students' engagement in basic Python programming while solving combinatorial problems. Students solved tasks that were designed to involve programming, and they were encouraged to engage in activities of prediction and reflection. I provide data from two paired teaching experiments, and I outline how the task…

DeLiema, David; Kwon, Yejin Angela; Chisholm, Andrea; Williams, Immanuel; Dahn, Maggie; Flood, Virginia J.; Abrahamson, Dor; Steen, Francis F. – Cognition and Instruction, 2023
When teachers, researchers, and students describe productively responding to moments of failure in the learning process, what might this mean? Blending prior theoretical and empirical research on the relationship between failure and learning, and empirical results from four data sets that are part of a larger design-based research project, we…
