Diego E. F. Pereira; Rodrigo D. Seabra – Informatics in Education, 2023
The teaching and learning of programming has proven to be a challenge for students of computer courses, since it presents challenges and requires complex skills for the good development of students. The traditional teaching model is not able to motivate students and arouse their interest in the topic. The tool proposed herein, the REA-LP, aims to…

Nijenhuis-Voogt, Jacqueline; Bayram-Jacobs, Durdane; Meijer, Paulien C.; Barendsen, Erik – Informatics in Education, 2022
Teaching algorithmic thinking enables students to use their knowledge in various contexts to reuse existing solutions to algorithmic problems. The aim of this study is to examine how students recognize which algorithmic concepts can be used in a new situation. We developed a card sorting task and investigated the ways in which secondary school…

Heather Shannon Fish – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This study sought to compare the effectiveness of teaching with manipulatives versus algorithms and procedures. Assessment data were collected before instruction, after instruction with algorithms and procedures, and after instruction with modeling and manipulatives. Data were collected from 113 students from the 5th, 6th, and 7th grades within…

Li, Jiansheng; Lin, Yuyu; Sun, Mingzhu; Shadiev, Rustam – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
This study examined whether socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL) enhances students' algorithmic thinking performance, promotes learning participation and improves students' learning attitudes through game-based collaborative learning. The students learned algorithmic knowledge and completed programing tasks using Kodu, a new visual…

David B. Nelson; Anaelle Emma Gackiere; Samantha Elizabeth LeGrand; Daniel A. Guberman – Thresholds in Education, 2025
In response to the significant disruption posed by emergent AI technology, we propose a four part framework for teaching and learning practice and development. Rather than focus on the specific technologies of the moment, this framework provides actionable suggestions for individuals with varying views of AI and its positive and negative…

Bubica, Nikolina; Boljat, Ivica – Informatics in Education, 2022
The new Croatian Informatics curriculum, which introduces computational thinking concepts into learning outcomes has been put into practice. A computational thinking assessment model reflecting the learning outcomes of the Croatian curriculum was created using an evidence-centered design approach. The possibility of assessing the computational…

Dillaway, Manson P. – 1986
The illustrative method of teaching employed in most undergraduate accounting courses is becoming increasingly burdensome to professors and students due to the rapid proliferation of accounting and auditing professional standards and the increased complexity of the tax law. This teaching method may be near the breaking point in upper division…

Van Passel, F. J. A. – ITL Review of Applied Linguistics, 1974
Shows the necessity of foreign language education for cognitive and attitudinal purposes as well as for utilitarian reasons. Foreign language learning/teaching can be of great educational value when it follows the thread of the logical and psychological steps in the creative/discovery procedure. A learning algorithm is mapped on page 61. See FL…
