Haglund, Pontus; Strömbäck, Filip; Mannila, Linda – Informatics in Education, 2021
Controlling complexity through the use of abstractions is a critical part of problem solving in programming. Thus, becoming proficient with procedural and data abstraction through the use of user-defined functions is important. Properly using functions for abstraction involves a number of other core concepts, such as parameter passing, scope and…

Allbee, Quinn; Barber, Robert – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Biology is a data-driven discipline facilitated greatly by computer programming skills. This article describes an introductory experiential programming activity that can be integrated into distance learning environments. Students are asked to develop their own Python programs to identify the nature of alleles linked to disease. This activity…

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…

Robin Samuelsson – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2025
Programming is becoming a key subject in early education globally, with surging problems of how computer science can become a subject for children of all ages and backgrounds. Problems of implementing new technologies in the old curricula have long been noted, and lately, concern over computer science education goals is often too narrow and…

Sukan Saeliang; Pinanta Chatwattana – International Education Studies, 2025
The project-based learning model via generative artificial intelligence, or PjBL model via Gen-AI, is a research tool that was initiated based on the concept of project-based learning management focusing mainly on self-directed learning, in which learners are able to learn and practice through the projects they are interested in as to their…

Today, due to the size of many genomes and the increasingly large sizes of sequencing files, independently analyzing sequencing data is largely impossible for a biologist with little to no programming expertise. As such, biologists are typically faced with the dilemma of either having to spend a significant amount of time and effort to learn how…

Yichun Miriam Liu; Eunice Kim; Greg M. Allenby – Marketing Education Review, 2025
We discuss our experience in teaching data analytics, and in particular prescriptive analytics, to students in business schools using an inter-coherent case study, where a managerial decision is decomposed into a series of research problems with interlocking analyses and the outcome of one analysis is the input of other analysis. Students who…

Mária Cujdíková; Ivan Kalaš – Informatics in Education, 2025
Tables are fundamental tools for handling data and play a crucial role in developing both computational thinking (CT) and mathematical thinking (MT). Despite this, they receive limited attention in research and design. This study investigates pupils' attitudes toward and approaches to working with tables in informatics education, focusing on the…
