Costa, Joana Martinho; Miranda, Guilhermina Lobato – Informatics in Education, 2019
This paper presents an approach to the initial programming learning using the four components instructional model and the Alice software. The quasi-experimental design was developed with two groups of students that attended two schools with very different socioeconomic status and school retention levels. The differences obtained in the mean of the…

Gabbay, Hagit; Cohen, Anat – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
In MOOCs for programming, Automated Testing and Feedback (ATF) systems are frequently integrated, providing learners with immediate feedback on code assignments. The analysis of the large amounts of trace data collected by these systems may provide insights into learners' patterns of utilizing the automated feedback, which is crucial for the…

Gkiolnta, Eleni; Zygopoulou, Maria; Syriopoulou-Delli, Christine K. – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2023
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show great interest in technological devices, and especially in robots. Several studies in the field have suggested that socially assistive robotics (SARs) can help children with ASD in the enhancement of their social skills and communication, and in the reduction of their stereotypical behaviors. Few…

Kale, Ugur; Yuan, Jiangmei; Roy, Abhik – Computer Science Education, 2023
Background and Context: Various coding initiatives and materials exist such as those on Code.org site to promote students' computational thinking (CT). However, little is known as to: (a) whether such materials, in fact, promote CT and (b) how CT skills are related to each other. Objective: As a preliminary step to identify CT skills addressed in…

Ana Oliveira; David Oliveira – Educational Media International, 2023
Besides the development of disciplinary skills, programming contributes to the development of abilities such as reasoning, problem solving and creativity. Therefore, it is fundamental that in the initial teachers training, programming is an integral part of the curricular unit programs of didactics. This will make it possible to contribute to the…

Gianmarc Grazioli; Adam Ingwerson; David Santiago Jr.; Patrick Regan; Heekun Cho – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Computational chemistry instructional activities are often based around students running chemical simulations via a graphical user interface (GUI). GUI-based activities offer many advantages, as they enable students to run chemical simulations with a few mouse clicks. Although these activities are excellent for introducing students to the…

Lee, Younhee; Lu, Qi; Lim, Woong – Mathematics Teacher, 2018
Translation by a vector in the coordinate plane is first introduced in precalculus and connects to the basic theory of vector spaces in linear algebra. In this article, the authors explore the topic of collision detection in which the idea of a translation vector plays a significant role. Because collision detection has various applications in…

Jung, Sung Eun; Lee, Kyunghwa – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
This qualitative case study explores a 6-year-old boy's dialogic appropriation of programmable robots. The study was conducted in two robotics education programs for children aged four to seven. Drawing on Bakhtin's (1981) notion of appropriation, we found that the focal child actively engaged with the programmable robots by (1) transforming the…

Zhong, Baichang; Wang, Yanxia – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2021
Pair learning (PL) in robotics education is derived from pair programming, and impacted by many factors. Two important factors were identified including roles assignment and learning styles in this study. The roles assignment involved Driver-Navigator Pair and Software-Hardware Pair. For the learning style, the dimension of active/reflective was…

Feklistova, Lidia; Lepp, Marina; Luik, Piret – Education Sciences, 2021
In every course, there are learners who successfully pass assessments and complete the course. However, there are also those who fail the course for various reasons. One of such reasons may be related to success in assessment. Although performance in assessments has been studied before, there is a lack of knowledge on the degree of variance…

Rõõm, Marili; Lepp, Marina; Luik, Piret – Education Sciences, 2021
One of the problems regarding MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) is the high dropout rate. Although dropout periods have been studied, there is still a lack of understanding of how dropout differs for MOOCs with different levels of difficulty. A quantitative study was conducted to determine the periods with the highest dropouts in computer…

Jones, Oliver A. H.; Stevenson, Paul G.; Hameka, Simone C.; Osborne, Dale A.; Taylor, Patrick D.; Spencer, Michelle J. S. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The use of three-dimensional printing in chemistry education has expanded greatly in the past 10 years. The technique has been used to demonstrate a range of concepts including molecular structure, orbitals, and point groups; to produce chemical equipment such as cuvettes and columns; and even to print out mathematical shapes and functions. Here,…
