Merkouris, Alexandros; Chorianopoulos, Konstantinos; Kameas, Achilles – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2017
Pedagogy has emphasized that physical representations and tangible interactive objects benefit learning especially for young students. There are many tangible hardware platforms for introducing computer programming to children, but there is limited comparative evaluation of them in the context of a formal classroom. In this work, we explore the…

Denner, Jill; Werner, Linda; Campe, Shannon; Ortiz, Eloy – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2014
Pair programming is a strategy that grew out of industry and has shown promise for performance and retention in computer programming courses at universities and in industry. In this study, we examine whether pair programming is effective in K-12, what it is effective for, and how partners influence each other. We collected the data from 320 middle…
