Ray, Beverly B.; Rogers, Reenay R. H.; Gallup, Jennifer – Journal of Digital Learning in Teacher Education, 2022
Research explored the change in perspectives of PK-12 social studies teachers regarding coding as a useful instructional tool. Using exploratory methods, researchers examined to what extent participants (n = 26) were willing to embrace coding as a teaching and learning strategy. Findings suggest that participants' perspectives on the utility of…

Zdawczyk, Christina; Varma, Keisha – Computer Science Education, 2023
Background and Context: A continued gender disparity has driven a need for effective interventions for recruiting girls to computer science. Prior research has demonstrated that middle school girls hold beliefs and attitudes that keep them from learning computer science, which can be mitigated through classroom design. Objective: This study…

Jaquiss, Robert – Journal of Science Education for Students with Disabilities, 2021
BLV (blind low vision) students face difficulties when taking coding classes. Individual Development Environments (IDE) can be inaccessible which make it difficult if not impossible for BLV students to complete coursework. Alternative techniques are described which will allow a BLV student to successfully complete coursework. The author has found…

Critten, Valerie; Hagon, Hannah; Messer, David – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2022
Guided play activities were developed so that coding clubs could promote computational thinking skills in preschool children. The clubs involved fifteen children aged between 2 and 4 years, including a group of children with communication difficulties. The children took part in an action-research scoping study over three coding clubs involving six…

Lakshminarayanan, Srinivasan; Rao, N. J. – Higher Education for the Future, 2022
There are many grey areas in the interpretation of academic integrity in the course on Introduction to Programming, commonly known as CS1. Copying, for example, is a method of learning, a method of cheating and a reuse method in professional practice. Many institutions in India publish the code in the lab course manual. The students are expected…

Gorman, Garry; McKelvey, Nigel; Dowling, Thomas C. – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2022
This paper describes a growth mind-set intervention with Junior Cycle Coding students in a disadvantaged school in Ireland. This intervention builds on the work of O'Rourke et al. (2016) and applies findings to a computer programming setting where gamification is used to incentivise growth mind-set behaviour in students learning to code. Data…

Andrea Domínguez-Lara; Wulfrano Arturo Luna-Ramírez – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2022
The automatic code generation is the process of generating source code snippets from a program, i.e., code for generating code. Its importance lies in facilitating software development, particularly important is helping in the implementation of software designs such as engineering diagrams, in such a case, automatic code generation copes with the…

Su, Jiahong; Yang, Weipeng; Li, Hui – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2023
Coding (or computer programming) helps equip children with an intellectual structure that is valuable for their lifelong learning and development. The proliferation of innovative coding platforms, especially screen-free programmable robotics, has made it possible for coding to be integrated into early childhood education (ECE). However, how the…

Monique Woodard – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This mixed methods study examines the creativity of Black girls as they learned to code virtual environments in an afterschool program. The afterschool program, West Philly Tech Camp/Black Girls in Computing was a nine-week program in which students learned to code a virtual chatbot using Python. The program's design was guided by culturally…

Welch, Lise E.; Shumway, Jessica F.; Clarke-Midura, Jody; Lee, Victor R. – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2021
Robot toys can be used to promote STEM subjects, particularly coding and mathematics. The lesson described in this article illustrates how a robot toy was used with a number line to explore equality and missing addends in Year 1. The lesson progression models how activities can be sequenced to build on developing understandings while supporting…

Andreas Larsson; Karin Stolpe – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2024
In recent years, subject content such as programming and digital literacy has become an integral part of technology education. However, research shows that many programming teachers lack sufficient formal education to teach programming and show disparate educational and professional experiences. This study investigates how three teachers'…
