Zhou, Ying; Chai, Ching Sing; Li, Xiuting; Ma, Chao; Li, Baoping; Yu, Ding; Liang, Jyh-Chong – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Computational thinking is a way of thinking that helps people "think like a computer scientist" to solve practical problems. However, practicing computational thinking through programming is dependent on the problem solvers' metacognition. This study investigated students' metacognitive planning and problem-solving performance in…

Jhon Jairo Ramírez-Echeverry; Felipe Restrepo-Calle; Stephanie Torres Jiménez – European Journal of Education, 2025
This study investigates the self-regulated learning strategies employed by students in computer programming courses. Utilising the Questionnaire on Learning Strategies in Computer Programming (CEAPC), the research aims to identify specific strategies used by students. The findings reveal a variety of effective learning strategies, including…

Mangaroska, Katerina; Sharma, Kshitij; Gaševic, Dragan; Giannakos, Michail – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Problem-solving is a multidimensional and dynamic process that requires and interlinks cognitive, metacognitive, and affective dimensions of learning. However, current approaches practiced in computing education research (CER) are not sufficient to capture information beyond the basic programming process data (i.e., IDE-log data).…

Ouyang, Fan; Dai, Xinyu; Chen, Si – International Journal of STEM Education, 2022
Background: Instructor scaffolding is proved to be an effective means to improve collaborative learning quality, but empirical research indicates discrepancies about the effect of instructor scaffoldings on collaborative programming. Few studies have used multimodal learning analytics (MMLA) to comprehensively analyze the collaborative programming…

Emara, Mona; Hutchins, Nicole M.; Grover, Shuchi; Snyder, Caitlin; Biswas, Gautam – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2021
The integration of computational modelling in science classrooms provides a unique opportunity to promote key 21st century skills including computational thinking (CT) and collaboration. The open-ended, problem-solving nature of the task requires groups to grapple with the combination of two domains (science and computing) as they collaboratively…

Çakiroglu, Ünal; Er, Betul – Informatics in Education, 2020
Considerable effort has been invested in innovative practices about teaching programming. Although the usefulness of metacognition in learning process is acknowledged, evidence demonstrating how metacognitive strategies effect in the programming classrooms is still very scarce. Given the importance of metacognitive strategies, this study seeks to…

Atmatzidou, Soumela; Demetriadis, Stavros; Nika, Panagiota – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2018
Educational robotics (ER) is an innovative learning tool that offers students opportunities to develop higher-order thinking skills. This study investigates the development of students' metacognitive (MC) and problem-solving (PS) skills in the context of ER activities, implementing different modes of guidance in two student groups (11-12 years…

Gökçe, Semirhan; Yenmez, Arzu Aydogan; Özpinar, Ilknur – International Education Studies, 2017
Recent developments in technology have changed the learner's profile and the learning outcomes. Today, with the emergence of higher-order thinking skills and computer literacy skills, teaching through traditional methods is likely to fail to achieve the learning outcomes. That is why; teachers and teacher candidates are expected to have computer…
