Neil C. C. Brown; Pierre Weill-Tessier; Juho Leinonen; Paul Denny; Michael Kölling – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
Motivation: Students learning to program often reach states where they are stuck and can make no forward progress--but this may be outside the classroom where no instructor is available to help. In this situation, an automatically generated next-step hint can help them make forward progress and support their learning. It is important to know what…

Marcus Messer; Neil C. C. Brown; Michael Kölling; Miaojing Shi – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2024
We conducted a systematic literature review on automated grading and feedback tools for programming education. We analysed 121 research papers from 2017 to 2021 inclusive and categorised them based on skills assessed, approach, language paradigm, degree of automation, and evaluation techniques. Most papers assess the correctness of assignments in…

Fadip Audu Nannim; Nnenna Ekpereka Ibezim; George Chibuike Agbo; Chukwuma Mgboji; Saint Oliver Rotachukwu Ngwoke; Moeketsi Mosia – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
The integration of digital technology into various sectors has transformed education globally, yet its adoption in Nigeria remains constrained by a lack of adequately trained personnel. This study addresses this gap by developing a Project-Based Arduino Robot Application (PARA) for teaching Robotics Programming to preservice teachers. A Research…

Cameron L. Roberts; Michael S. Horn – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
In recent years, the intersection of music and coding has emerged as a cross-disciplinary approach to engage learners in both musical and computational expression. This article examines the motivations and framing of recent music and coding research through an analysis of 65 articles published between 2004 and 2024. We survey the key findings of…

Novak, Matija; Joy, Mike; Kermek, Dragutin – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2019
Teachers deal with plagiarism on a regular basis, so they try to prevent and detect plagiarism, a task that is complicated by the large size of some classes. Students who cheat often try to hide their plagiarism (obfuscate), and many different similarity detection engines (often called plagiarism detection tools) have been built to help teachers.…

Marín, B.; Frez, J.; Cruz-Lemus, J.; Genero, M. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2019
Context: Programming courses are compulsory for most engineering degrees, but students' performance on these courses is often not as good as expected. Programming is difficult for students to learn, given that it includes a lot of new, complex, and abstract topics. All of this has led experts to the conclusion that new teaching techniques are…
