Dan Sun; Fan Ouyang; Yan Li; Chengcong Zhu; Yang Zhou – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: With the development of computational literacy, there has been a surge in both research and practice application of text-based and block-based modalities within the field of computer programming education. Despite this trend, little work has actually examined how learners engaging in programming process when utilizing these two major…

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…

Xu, Weiqi; Wu, Yajuan; Ouyang, Fan – International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, 2023
Pair programming (PP), as a mode of collaborative problem solving (CPS) in computer programming education, asks two students work in a pair to co-construct knowledge and solve problems. Considering the complex multimodality of pair programming caused by students' discourses, behaviors, and socio-emotions, it is of critical importance to examine…

Storm, Scott; Jones, Karis; Beck, Sarah W. – English Teaching: Practice and Critique, 2022
Purpose: This study aims to investigate how, through text-based classroom talk, youth collaboratively draw on and remix discourses and practices from multiple socially indexed traditions. Design/methodology/approach: Drawing on data from a year-long social design experiment, this study uses qualitative coding and traces discoursal markers of…

Pjesivac, Ivanka; Cantrell-Bickley, Yvonne; Hazinski, David – Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, 2018
In this essay, we describe modular production of television news, established at the University of Georgia, one of the leading journalism programs in the United States, in the scope of its experience-based learning efforts. The new method of producing television news assumes the innovative way of combining live and prerecorded segments of…

Levinsen, Karin Tweddell; Sørensen, Birgitte Holm – Designs for Learning, 2019
This paper contributes with elements of an emerging designs for learning-methodology and takes as its starting point the concept of Students as Learning Designers, which was developed by Sørensen and Levinsen and based on more than a decade of research-and-development projects in Danish primary schools (first to 10th grade). The research focussed…

Végh, Ladislav – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2016
The first data structure that first-year undergraduate students learn during the programming and algorithms courses is the one-dimensional array. For novice programmers, it might be hard to understand different algorithms on arrays (e.g. searching, mirroring, sorting algorithms), because the algorithms dynamically change the values of elements. In…

Frydenberg, Mark – Information Systems Education Journal, 2016
Teaching game development has become an accepted methodology for introducing programming concepts and capturing the interest of beginning computer science and information technology (IT) students. This study, conducted over three consecutive semesters, explores game development using a gaming engine, rather than a traditional programming language,…

Shehane, Ronald; Sherman, Steven – Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, 2014
This study examines detailed usage of online training videos that were designed to address specific course problems that were encountered in an online computer programming course. The study presents the specifics of a programming course where training videos were used to provide students with a quick start path to learning a new programming…

Hung, Y.-C. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2012
This paper investigates the impact of combining self explaining (SE) with computer architecture diagrams to help novice students learn assembly language programming. Pre- and post-test scores for the experimental and control groups were compared and subjected to covariance (ANCOVA) statistical analysis. Results indicate that the SE-plus-diagram…

Schaeckeler, Stefan; Shang, Weijia; Davis, Ruth – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2009
There is an active research community concentrating on visualizations of algorithms taught in CS1 and CS2 courses. These visualizations can help students to create concrete visual images of the algorithms and their underlying concepts. Not only "fundamental algorithms" can be visualized, but also algorithms used in compilers. Visualizations that…

Katai, Zoltan; Toth, Laszlo – Teaching and Teacher Education: An International Journal of Research and Studies, 2010
Over the last decades more and more research has analysed relatively new or rediscovered teaching-learning concepts like blended, hybrid, multi-sensory or technologically enhanced learning. This increased interest in these educational forms can be explained by new exciting discoveries in brain research and cognitive psychology, as well as by the…

Myller, Niko; Bednarik, Roman; Sutinen, Erkki; Ben-Ari, Mordechai – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2009
As collaborative learning in general, and pair programming in particular, has become widely adopted in computer science education, so has the use of pedagogical visualization tools for facilitating collaboration. However, there is little theory on collaborative learning with visualization, and few studies on their effect on each other. We build on…

Rossling, Guido; Vellaramkalayil, Teena – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2009
Hypertextbooks for Computer Science contents present an interesting approach to better support learners and integrate algorithm animations into the learning materials. We have developed a prototype for integrating a selection of the functionality of such a hypertextbook into the established Moodle LCMS. This article describes the goals and…
