Zebel-Al Tareq; Raja Jamilah Raja Yusof – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Contribution: A problem-solving approach (PSA) model derived from major computational thinking (CT) concepts. This model can be utilized to formulate solutions for different algorithmic problems and translate them into effective active learning methods. Background: Different teaching approaches for programming are widely available; however, being…

Jessica M. M. Hamer; Peter E. J. Kemp; Billy Wong; Meggie Copsey-Blake – Cambridge Journal of Education, 2024
Digital skills are beneficial for young people and society, but some individuals, particularly girls, are less likely to choose computing post-compulsory education. Coding is a crucial skill in the school computing curriculum. The authors collected survey data from 4983 secondary-school students (ages 11-16) as well as conducted exploratory factor…

Joyce Vogel; Dan Bouhnik – European Journal of Education, 2024
Introduction to Computer Science is traditionally the first course that all computer science and software engineering majors take. The course introduces many problem-solving techniques which can be challenging for many freshman students. In order to mitigate some of the issues of this course, we, at the Higher Education Institute, introduced a new…

Michael Lachney; Madison C. Allen Kuyenga; Jada Phelps; Aman Yadav; Matt Drazin – Computer Science Education, 2024
Background & context: Inspired by the nature-cultures of belonging from Black hair care, we conducted a design experiment to bridge computer science (CS) education, urban gardening, and cosmetology in a culturally responsive computing (CRC) library program. Objective: The design was oriented around a small-scale aquaponics system to grow mint…

Jui-Hung Chang; Chi-Jane Wang; Hua-Xu Zhong; Hsiu-Chen Weng; Yu-Kai Zhou; Hoe-Yuan Ong; Chin-Feng Lai – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Amidst the rapid advancement in the application of artificial intelligence learning, questions regarding the evaluation of students' learning status and how students without relevant learning foundation on this subject can be trained to familiarize themselves in the field of artificial intelligence are important research topics. This study…

ChanMin Kim; Brian R. Belland; Lucas Vasconcelos; Roger B. Hill – SAGE Open, 2024
In this qualitative study, preservice early childhood education teachers created block-based code to control robots and used the robots in field experience at local preschools. The study is grounded in a conceptual framework that weaves together playful programing and resilience, interlocking concepts that can explain sustained engagement during…

Jiachu Ye; Xiaoyan Lai; Gary Ka Wai Wong; Nantian He – Educational Technology & Society, 2024
Computational thinking (CT) has attracted global research attention. However, the relationship between CT education and later aspirations in computing careers was less explored, and less attention was paid to understanding the intermediary role of computational identity. Based on social cognitive career theory, this study examined the…

Chase, Catherine C.; Malkiewich, Laura J.; Lee, Alison; Slater, Stefan; Choi, Ahram; Xing, Chenmu – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
It is difficult to motivate learners to seek out and persist at challenging learning tasks where failure is likely. However, in game environments, people seem highly motivated to engage with challenges and respond productively to failure. Many typical game features purportedly enhance intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy, which should improve…

Lyon, Louise Ann; Green, Emily – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2021
College-educated women in the workforce are discovering a latent interest in and aptitude for computing motivated by the prevalence of computing as an integral part of jobs in many fields as well as continued headlines about the number of unfilled, highly paid computing jobs. One of these women's choices for retraining are the so-called coding…

Wu, Sheng-Yi; Su, Yu-Sheng – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Currently, many countries actively cultivate students to develop computational thinking ability. Many visual programming environments (VPEs) and physical robot courses have been integrated into computational thinking learning in the elementary education stage. This study explores the relationship between the programming learning environment…

Justino, Gonçalo C.; Nascimento, Catarina P.; Justino, Marta C. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
A computational biochemistry laboratory, fitted for bioinformatics students, is presented. The molecular dynamics package GROMACS is used to prepare and simulate a solvated protein. Students analyze the trajectory with different available tools (GROMACS and VMD) to probe the structural stability of the protein during the simulation. Students are…

Kite, Vance; Park, Soonhye; Wiebe, Eric – SAGE Open, 2021
Computational thinking (CT) is being recognized as a critical component of student success in the digital era. Many contend that integrating CT into core curricula is the surest method for providing all students with access to CT. However, the CT community lacks an agreed-upon conceptualization of CT that would facilitate this integration, and…

Fergusson, Anna; Wild, Chris J. – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2021
The explosion in availability and variety of data requires learning experiences that reveal more of the data world faster and develop practical skills with digital technologies. Key high-level goals of the International Data Science in Schools Project (IDSSP) include having students continually immersed in the cycle of learning from data, and data…

Aguilera, Earl – Theory Into Practice, 2021
This article uses a lens of procedural literacies to theorize youth practices of digital game-playing, modification, and creation as digital writing. The concept of procedurality describes the ways that videogames and other digital media are composed of systems of processes--computational or otherwise, which define these artifacts in form,…

Pörn, Ray; Hemmi, Kirsti; Kallio-Kujala, Paula – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2021
There is limited research on teaching and learning of programming in primary school and even less about aspects concerning teaching programming from teachers' viewpoint. In this study, we explore how Finnish 1-6 primary school teachers (N=91), teaching at schools with Swedish as the language of instruction, relate to programming and teaching of…
