Introduction: Computer Science Education does not have a universally defined set of concepts consistently covered in all introductory courses (CS1). One approach to understanding the concepts covered in CS1 is to ask educators. In 2004, Nell Dale did just this. She also collected their perceptions on challenging topics to teach. Dale mused how the…

This study aims to conduct a literature review to explore the justification for including programming and coding in K-12 curricula. Additionally, it considers the value of teaching computational thinking and programming principles, pedagogical strategies, and the advantages and drawbacks of teaching programming to young students. Most studies…

A census of Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications (ACEJMC)-accredited journalism programs reveals that less than a quarter require students to learn code. Despite industry desires for journalists with coding skills, nearly 40% of the units offer no coding classes. Among programs that require code, most rely on a…

Programming has recently become part of Swedish technology education; pupils should now be able to analyse existing programmed technological solutions, and be able to design new ones. Teachers facing this curriculum change need guidance on how to teach and what to address, based on how pupils understand the content. The aim of this study is to…

In Spring 2020, the need for redesigning online assessments to preserve integrity became a priority to many educators. Many of us found methods to proctor examinations using Zoom and proctoring software. Such examinations pose their own issues. To reduce the technical difficulties and cost, many Zoom proctored examination sessions were shortened;…

The aim of the research is to understand in-service and pre-service preschool teachers' perceptions of coding after their lived experiences to develop suggestions regarding incorporating coding practices into early childhood education. The study employed a phenomenological design with a total of 28 pre-service and in-service preschool teachers (19…

With the introduction of new standards for electronic records and transcripts and other changes within higher education, a perfect storm is forming that challenges the 30 years of electronic data exchange (EDX) work. This article outlines the threat to the work and uses recent data to explore the landscape around the past, present, and future. In…

This paper reviews the evolution of a senior level, live-client project development capstone class in the Analytics and Information Systems department of an AACSB accredited College of Business. The paper traces changes in methodologies and technologies leading to the current Scrum based approach, using ASP.NET Model-View-Controller, MVC, as the…

The rapid development of big data technology has attracted a variety of sectors, including tertiary education. The purpose of this paper is to construct a precision teaching mode based on big data technology in order to improve teaching quality and further promote education and teaching reform. The proposed mode, based on the theory of precision…

The COVID-19 pandemic, an unprecedented global health crisis, has not only significantly impacted public health but has also caused substantial disruptions to conventional education systems. In response to these challenges, our institution has undertaken innovative measures within the realm of education. A pivotal aspect of our response involves…

Background/purpose: The emergence of educational technologies has profoundly transformed teaching and learning methods in health sciences. This bibliometric study aims to identify the most widely used educational practices in this field between 2014 and 2024, exploring their applications within a constantly evolving technological context.…

Computational thinking in physics has many different forms, definitions, and implementations depending on the level of physics or the institution it is presented in. To better integrate computational thinking in introductory physics, we need to understand what physicists find important about computational thinking in introductory physics. We…

Digital competence has become a new type of literacy that significantly impacts on people's lives, as it is paramount to their social and occupational integration. In educational institutions, teachers play a major role in developing the digital skills of their students. This study aims to determine the key elements of teacher training in the use…

This paper presents field-tested improvements over an 11-year period of a large-scale "Introduction to Information Systems" core business school course and provides a framework for implementation. Engagement and learning in large-scale courses can prove challenging, especially when the class is a requirement within a business school's…

Recent educational policies advocate a radical revision of science curricula and pedagogy, to support interdisciplinary practices, a distinguishing feature of contemporary science. Computational modeling (CM) is a core methodology of interdisciplinary science, as such models allow intertwining of data and theoretical perspectives from multiple…
