Yusuf, Abdullahi; Noor, Norah Md – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Several attitude scales have been developed to measure students' attitudes toward computer programming, including the prominent one developed by Cetin and Ozden. The development of these scales stemmed from the elusive nature of attitude and the lack of specific constructs to measure attitude. These instruments measure students'…

Daniel McNeish – Grantee Submission, 2023
Scale validation is vital to psychological research because it ensures that scores from measurement scales represent the intended construct. Factor analysis fit indices are commonly used to provide quantitative evidence that a proposed factor structure is plausible. However, there is mismatch between guidelines for evaluating fit of factor models…

Chun-Hsiung Tseng; Hao-Chiang Koong Lin; Andrew Chih-Wei Huang; Jia-Rou Lin – Cogent Education, 2023
This study explores the use of machine learning and physiological signals to enhance learning performance based on students' personality traits. Traditional personality assessment methods often yield unreliable responses, prompting the need for a novel approach utilizing objective data collection through physiological signals. Participants from a…

Tarling, Georgie; Melro, Ana; Kleine Staarman, Judith; Fujita, Taro – Pedagogies: An International Journal, 2023
Coding bootcamps targeting diverse learners are increasingly popular. However, little research has focused on the student experience of these courses: what pedagogic practices make learning coding meaningful for them and why. In a previous paper, we proposed a conceptual framework outlining three dimensions of learning opportunities in relation to…

Rachel Clune; Avishek Das; Dipti Jasrasaria; Elliot Rossomme; Orion Cohen; Anne M. Baranger – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
A student-led mathematics bootcamp has been designed and implemented to help foster community building, improve confidence in mathematical skills, and provide mathematical resources for incoming physical chemistry doctoral students. The bootcamp is held immediately before the start of the first semester of graduate school and uses an active…

Ardimento, Pasquale; Bernardi, Mario Luca; Cimitile, Marta; De Ruvo, Giuseppe – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2020
Novice programmers often encounter difficulties performing debugging tasks effectively. Even if modern development environments (IDEs) provide high-level support for navigating through code elements and for identifying the right conditions leading to the bug, debugging still requires considerable human effort. Programmers usually have to make…

Taipalus, Toni – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2019
Structured Query Language (SQL) is still the de facto database query language widely used in industry and taught in almost all university level database courses. The role of SQL is further strengthened by the emergence of NewSQL systems which use SQL as their query language as well as some NoSQL systems, e.g., Cassandra and DynamoDB, which base…

Žanko, Žana; Mladenovic, Monika; Boljat, Ivica – Education and Information Technologies, 2019
There are known misconceptions about variables which are mostly the same since the first studies since more than 30 years ago. Consciousness about the misconceptions in programming can be crucial for teaching and learning programming for novices because, if we are aware of them, maybe we can minimise or even prevent them. Researchers mostly…

Andrew A. Tawfik; Linda Payne; Andrew M. Olney – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2024
Theorists and educators increasingly highlight the importance of computational thinking in STEM education. While various scaffolding strategies describe how to best support this skillset (i.e., paired programming, worked examples), less research has focused on the design and development of these digital tools. One way to support computational…

Gary K. W. Wong – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
As block-based visual programming platform such as Scratch become more accessible and supportive to children's programming learning, the demand on understanding a trajectory of children's computational thinking development through programming from their early ages increases rapidly in recent years. To explore the developmental process of…

G. Puttick; M. Cassidy; E. Tucker-Raymond; G. M. Troiano; C. Harteveld – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Much research attention has been focused on learning through game playing. However, very little has been focused on student learning through game making, especially in science. Moreover, none of the studies on learning through making games has presented an account of how students engage in the process of game design in real time. The present study…

Cecilia Axell; Astrid Berg – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2024
Although digital technology is an important part of young people's lives, previous research implies that they have a limited understanding of what programming is and its connection to the digital devices they encounter every day. In order to create conditions for meaningful teaching in and about programming in technology education, more knowledge…

Lihui Sun; Danhua Zhou – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Integrating programming in K-12 curriculum has become a global consensus. Teachers are central figures in programming instruction. But the majority of current research focuses on teachers' external teaching behaviours and less on teachers' attitudes towards programming. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to validate the K-12…

Shadi Alawneh – Discover Education, 2024
The HCS12 microcontroller and DRAGON12-Light Trainer boards are extensively utilized in microprocessor system design education. This paper details the rationale, approach, and outcomes from implementing the DRAGON12-Light Trainer board in teaching an upper-level undergraduate microprocessors course at Oakland University. The course's primary goal…

Chamindi Kavindya Samarasekara; Claudia Ott; Anthony Robins – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
A global concern in recent years has been the formal incorporation of computing and digital technology subjects into high school curricula. Despite many initiatives to make these subjects accessible to students, significant barriers to uptake remain in many countries. In this study we convened a panel of 32 academic, research, and other experts…
