Danielak, Brian – Cognition and Instruction, 2022
This paper focuses on a historically understudied area in computing education: attending to students' *design thinking* in university-level introductory programming courses. I offer an account of one student--"Rebecca"--and her experiences and code from a second-semester course on programming concepts for engineers. Using data from both…

Yong, Su Ting; Gates, Peter – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2022
A study was conducted to explore student self-efficacy, motivation, and performance in learning programming online. A questionnaire was administered to 132 students in a Foundation in Engineering programme using the Computer Programming Self-Efficacy Scale and Intrinsic Motivation Inventory. Then, exam performance and Moodle logs were used to…

John F. Hutton – ProQuest LLC, 2022
All engineering careers require some level of programming proficiency. However, beginning programming classes are challenging for many students. Difficulties have been well-documented and contribute to high drop-out rates which prevent students from pursuing engineering. While many approaches have been tried to improve the performance of students…

Hebda, Maryann R. – Gifted Child Today, 2023
As technologically gifted students apply their abilities to computer science, they naturally flow through the talent development stages of potential, competency, and expertise. Processes that have always been important for gifted students to learn as they develop potential are embedded in learning code, which engages the beginning programmer in…

van der Meulen, Anna; Hartendorp, Mijke; Voorn, Wendy; Hermans, Felienne – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2023
Programming education is strongly emerging in elementary and high school. Diversity and inclusion are important topics, however, insights on suited programming materials for younger learners with visual impairments are lacking. A wide range of programming materials for children exists, diverse in both what is being programmed (output) and how this…

Kim, ChanMin; Dinç, Emre; Lee, Eunseo; Baabdullah, Afaf; Zhang, Anna Y.; Belland, Brian R. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Analogical reasoning is considered to be a critical cognitive skill in programming. However, it has been rarely studied in a block-based programming context, especially involving both virtual and physical objects. In this multi-case study, we examined how novice programming learners majoring in early childhood education used analogical reasoning…

Zhang, Jia-Hua; Meng, Bin; Zou, Liu-Cong; Zhu, Yue; Hwang, Gwo-Jen – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
As one of the core skills of the 21st century, computational thinking has received increasing attention from educators and researchers. Although some research has been conducted on computational thinking, few studies examined the impact of learning activities on students' computation thinking skills from the perspective of cognitive development.…

Ma, Jingsi; Zhang, Yi; Zhu, Zhifang; Zhao, Sunan; Wang, Qiyun – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) education has drawn increasing attention from educators and researchers. This study conducted a meta-analysis of 27 empirical studies to examine the effectiveness of game-based learning (GBL) for fostering students' CT. The effects of various factors on the learning process for acquiring CT were also examined. The…

Kerins, Andrew J. – Schole: A Journal of Leisure Studies and Recreation Education, 2023
Teaching an online course was always something I resisted. Like many of the colleagues I have talked to, I was worried that the lack of face-to-face interaction would significantly take away from the quality of the education for the students. With a class like Recreation Programming, I knew that students needed hands-on experience with running a…

Rovshenov, Atajan; Sarsar, Firat – Journal of Educational Technology and Online Learning, 2023
This study examines the methodological dimensions of programming education articles published in educational sciences journals indexed in SSCI by exploring their general trends. To do this, 162 articles published between January 2012 and February 2020 in 30 international journals indexed in SSCI were analyzed with a systematic review method using…

Indriasari, Theresia Devi; Denny, Paul; Lottridge, Danielle; Luxton-Reilly, Andrew – Computer Science Education, 2023
Background and Context: Peer code review activities provide well-documented benefits to students in programming courses. Students develop relevant skills through exposure to alternative coding solutions, producing and receiving feedback, and collaboration with peers. Despite these benefits, low student motivation has been identified as one of the…

Amaya, Edna Johanna Chaparro; Restrepo-Calle, Felipe; Ramírez-Echeverry, Jhon J. – Journal of Information Technology Education: Research, 2023
Aim/Purpose: This article proposes a framework based on a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design in the learning analytics domain to enhance the models used to support the success of the learning process and the learner. The framework consists of three main phases: (1) quantitative data analysis; (2) qualitative data analysis; and (3)…

Beatriz Ortega-Ruipérez; Miguel Lázaro Alcalde – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Programming and robotics are resources that can be used as a learning tool for understanding content. However, some teachers are unmotivated due to preconceptions about their difficulties, which hinder their learning and subsequent application in the classroom. This study aims to determine the perception of 195 teachers teaching different grade…

This study explored the effectiveness of scaffolding in students' reflection writing process. We compared two sections of an introductory computer programming course (N=188). In Section 1, students did not receive any scaffolding while generating reflections, whereas in Section 2, students were scaffolded during the reflection writing process.…

Zhao, Dan; Muntean, Cristina Hava; Chis, Adriana E.; Muntean, Gabriel-Miro – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2021
Contribution: This research study deploys three serious games with various topics in an entry-level C Programming module and investigates students' learning outcomes. The study also explores whether learners belonging to different subgroups benefit more from the use of serious games than their peers. The subgroups are formed based on learner…
