Distributed self-assessments and reflections empower learners to take the lead on their knowledge gaining evaluation. Both provide essential elements for practice and self-regulation in learning settings. Nowadays, many sources for practice opportunities are made available to the learners, especially in the Computer Science (CS) and programming…

Educational technology is shifting toward facilitating personalized learning. Such personalization, however, requires a detailed understanding of students' problem-solving processes. Sequence analysis (SA) is a promising approach to gaining granular insights into student problem solving; however, existing techniques are difficult to interpret…

The aim of this research is to examine the relationships between students' community of inquiry, academic self-efficacy, reflective thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and metacognitive awareness in a flipped learning environment supported by personalized recommendation and guidance messages based on learning analytics. For this purpose,…

The methodologies are framed in the conceptual basis of the following sciences: Psychology, Education and Computer Science. The theoretical framework of the research is supported by Behavioral Theory, Gestalt Theory.…

The 11th International Conference on Educational Data Mining (EDM 2018) is held under the auspices of the International Educational Data Mining Society at the Templeton Landing in Buffalo, New York. This year's EDM conference was highly competitive, with 145 long and short paper submissions. Of these, 23 were accepted as full papers and 37…

Describes a model for the design of computer assisted instruction (CAI) in problem solving for an introductory digital systems design course. Includes evaluation. (LS)

A program was developed to use the PLATO IV system of the University of Illinois to help students solve typical programing problems. The program tries to approximate a near-ideal situation in which each student receives correction of logical errors and comments on good programing practice as he goes along in a one-on-one tutorial environment. The…

The problems used in the Second Annual Computer Problem Solving Contest are presented. There are three groups of five problems, which corresponded to Elementary, Junior, and Senior contest sets. The contest questions are seen as interesting for individual study, and potentially useful to teachers of computer programing. (MP)

Ideas and examples that support the problem-solving role of computers in the classroom are given: procedures, techniques, and sample problems that can be used with beginning, intermediate, and advanced students have been included. (MP)

The educational applications of computers for instruction, administration, and vocational guidance are herein reviewed. Reports on recent trends in computer-assisted instruction and computer-managed instruction toward forming behavioral objectives and reducing learning time and implementation costs provide an introduction for a description of the…
