Valentina Dagiene; Gintautas Grigas; Tatjana Jevsikova – Informatics in Education, 2024
The work of Niklaus Wirth, designer of the Pascal programming language, has led to the introduction of programming in schools in many countries often leading to a transformation in the way of thinking. In this article, we provide a retrospective analysis of the Lithuanian experience driven by Pascal and discuss the main ideas about teaching…

Diana Kirk; Andrew Luxton-Reilly; Ewan Tempero – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
Objectives: Code style is an important aspect of text-based programming because programs written with good style are considered easier to understand and change and so improve the maintainability of the delivered software product. However teaching code style is complicated by the existence of many style guides and standards that contain…

Abarkan, Ali; BenYakhlef, Majid – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Learning to code is far from an easy task, it is a promising approach that underscores the use of the video game culture of students to motivate them to invest their time in the practice of programming. The students in this discipline are often discouraged by the amount of information to remember and the complex and constraining syntaxes.…

Huiyan Ye; Oi-Lam Ng; Allen Leung – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
There has been a renewed interest in creativity as a twenty-first century skill in K-12 mathematics education. However, previous research has paid less attention to creative actions than to other learning outcomes, which are often product- instead of process-based, especially in a programming context. Thus, situated in the context of mathematical…

Pörn, Ray; Hemmi, Kirsti; Kallio-Kujala, Paula – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2021
There is limited research on teaching and learning of programming in primary school and even less about aspects concerning teaching programming from teachers' viewpoint. In this study, we explore how Finnish 1-6 primary school teachers (N=91), teaching at schools with Swedish as the language of instruction, relate to programming and teaching of…

W. Brian Lane; Terrie M. Galanti; X. L. Rozas – Journal for STEM Education Research, 2023
Integrating computational thinking (CT) into STEM disciplines requires secondary teachers to develop their pedagogical content knowledge of computing and content integration. Experienced teachers who choose to integrate CT in their secondary STEM courses may struggle in the same ways as novice teachers as they learn about programming and its…

Jessica Hunt; Rebekah Davis; Alejandra Duarte – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a shift in K-12 educational delivery from primarily in-person classroom instruction to remote learning. Developing broadcast instruction is one way to provide learners who experience barriers to contemporary forms of remote learning, which are typically provided over the internet, a way to access quality mathematics…
