The literature widely reports that pre-service teachers repeatedly demonstrate inadequate argumentation skills. Through a mixed-methods research approach, this study investigated the effectiveness of a holistic online scaffolding design for guiding the development of pre-service teachers' argumentation skills. Participants were randomly assigned…

Research has indicated that, in comparison to their counterparts at predominantly White institutions (PWIs), Latinx students at Hispanic-Serving institutions (HSIs) tend to encounter less racism and, in turn, fewer challenges in shaping their ethnic identity development. Yet, evidence has also suggested that the disciplines, and by extension, the…

The integration of artificial intelligence in e-learning presents promising avenues for scalable, efficient content creation. However, the prevailing content-first approach in AI course design often compromises educational quality for speed, leading to courses that lack coherence, cognitive alignment, and structured progression. This article…

A suggested curriculum for secondary and primarily academic discipline in Cybersecurity Postsecondary Education is presented. This curriculum is developed based on the Association for Computing Machinery guidelines and the National Centers of Academic Excellence Cyber Operations program.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between individual motivation -- both intrinsic and extrinsic -- and learning effectiveness; moreover, this paper also investigates whether this relationship is moderated by gender. Design/methodology/approach: A quasi-experimental study was conducted. The research measured…

Office of basic education commission of Thailand firstly declared the indicator for computing science of the students in primary education and secondary education in 2018. The important of computing science is to develop the learners to solve the questions of computing science by using technology correctly. To gain the effective learning…

Serious games, many of which are multi-player games, have been commonly used in information technology education and training. Competition can be intuitively associated with games; however, it is not always considered as a necessary attribute of serious games. Particularly, the learning impact results of competition are mixed. Challenge and…

As computing has become an integral part of our world, demand for teaching computational thinking in K-12 has increased. One of its basic competences is programming, often taught by learning activities without a predefined solution using block-based visual programming languages. Automatic assessment tools can support teachers with their assessment…

The teaching of computing is becoming an essential addition to twenty-first-century learning. An important part of this new addition is the teaching of computing in earlier grades, starting as early as kindergarten in some countries. Yet, there is little research that reports on computing practices in earlier grades. The purpose of this study was…

We investigate conditions in which novices make some reference errors when programming. We asked students from introductory programming courses to perform a simple code-writing task that required constructing references to objects and their attributes. By experimentally manipulating the nature of the attributes in the tasks, from identifying…

It is common to think of learning as the acquisition of knowledge by an individual learner. Starting a century ago, Lev Vygotsky developed a different perspective on learning, initiating a tradition of educational research whose momentum and influence continue to grow. One of Vygotsky's key principles is the "general genetic law of cultural…

This study was an examination of the systemization of, and law and ethics concepts incorporated into, robotics and computer science courses that offered artificial intelligence as part of the curriculum of selected community colleges. The researcher completed a mixed-methods study using surveys and document analysis. The first area of…

In this conceptual essay, the author argues that computational methods and computer science more broadly should be embedded into English education programs. Positing that computational methods can deepen and expand the way literature is already taught in many English education programs and secondary English classrooms, the author first makes a…

ABET accreditation has become a well-known standard for academic programs not only in the U.S. but also across the globe. Instantiating the processes to systematically improve the quality of programs is a daunting task for higher education institutions. In this contribution, we provide a detailed process-based framework that can assist aspiring…

Recent scholarship in computer science (CS) education shifts from a focus on the technical-cognitive skills of "computational thinking" to the socio-cultural goal of "computational participation," often illustrated as remixing popular media (e.g. music, photos, etc.) in online communities. These activities do enhance the…
