McMaster, Kirby; Sambasivam, Samuel; Rague, Brian; Wolthuis, Stuart – Information Systems Education Journal, 2017
In this research, we compare two languages, Java and Python, by performing a content analysis of words in textbooks that describe important programming concepts. Our goal is to determine which language has better textbook support for teaching introductory programming courses. We used the TextSTAT program to count how often our list of concept…

Malik, Sohail Iqbal; Coldwell-Neilson, Jo – Education and Information Technologies, 2017
High failure and drop-out rates from introductory programming courses continue to be of significant concern to computer science disciplines despite extensive research attempting to address the issue. In this study, we include the three entities of the didactic triangle, instructors, students and curriculum, to explore the learning difficulties…

Coetzee, Bronwynè; Kagee, Ashraf – Africa Education Review, 2021
In psychology departments in South Africa, the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) is routinely used for quantitative analysis. While SPSS has a user-friendly interface, it does not permit application of some of the more sophisticated analytic approaches and therefore has limited functionality. The programming language R can perform…

Johnson, Roger W. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
Percentage of body fat, age, weight, height, and 14 circumference measurements (e.g., waist) are given for 184 women aged 18-25. Body fat, one measure of health, was accurately determined by an underwater weighing technique which requires special equipment and training of the individuals conducting the process. Modeling body fat percentage using…

Broley, Laura; Caron, France; Saint-Aubin, Yvan – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2018
In response to a recent Canada-wide survey, where it was found that mathematicians use computer programming much less in their teaching than in their research, an exploratory study involving 14 Canadian mathematicians sought to gain a deeper understanding of the place of programming in both contexts. To capture the differences in the degree of…
