Dan Sun; Fan Xu – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2025
Real-time collaborative programming (RCP), which allows multiple programmers to work concurrently on the same codebase with changes instantly visible to all participants, has garnered considerable popularity in higher education. Despite this trend, little work has rigorously examined how undergraduates engage in collaborative programming when…

Toni Taipalus; Hilkka Grahn; Saima Ritonummi; Valtteri Siitonen; Tero Vartiainen; Denis Zhidkikh – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
SQL compiler error messages are the primary way users receive feedback when they encounter syntax errors or other issues in their SQL queries. Effective error messages can enhance the user experience by providing clear, informative, and actionable feedback. Despite the age of SQL compilers, it still remains largely unclear what contributes to an…

Esche, Svana; Weihe, Karsten – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2023
Contribution: Most work on languages in computing education currently focuses on non-native speakers. In contrast, to the best of the authors' knowledge, this article is the first response to the call for research on terms that takes into account the terms used by novices in their language. Background: Terms are key factors in communication,…

Amelia McNamara – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
When incorporating programming into a statistics course, there are many pedagogical considerations. In R, one consideration is the particular R syntax used. This article reports on a head-to-head comparison of a pair of introductory statistics labs, one conducted in the formula syntax, the other in tidyverse. Pre- and post-surveys show minimal…

Nikolaos Pellas – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
Educational technologists and practitioners have made substantial strides in developing affordable digital and tangible resources to support both formal and informal computer science instruction. However, there is a lack of research on practice-based assignments, such as Internet of Things (IoT) projects, that allow undergraduate students to…

David Kocsis; Morgan Shepherd; Daniel L. Segal – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2025
This paper describes the development of a training module to improve students' individual online behaviors. We developed this module to integrate cyber hygiene concepts into a hands-on learning activity where students develop and secure a mobile web application using the Salesforce Developer tool. This new module aims to prepare the next…

Dorodchi, Mohsen; Dehbozorgi, Nasrin; Fallahian, Mohammadali; Pouriyeh, Seyedamin – Informatics in Education, 2021
Teaching software engineering (SWE) as a core computer science course (ACM, 2013) is a challenging task. The challenge lies in the emphasis on what a large-scale software means, implementing teamwork, and teaching abstraction in software design while simultaneously engaging students into reasonable coding tasks. The abstraction of the system…

Paola Iannone; Athina Thoma – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Programming is becoming increasingly common in mathematics degrees as it is a desirable skill for new graduates. However, research shows that its use is mostly restricted to computational or modelling tasks. This paper reports a study on students' perceptions of and difficulties with Lean, an interactive theorem prover introduced as part of a…
