Dickson-Karn, Nicole M.; Orosz, Steven – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Proper sampling techniques are of the utmost importance in obtaining accurate and precise results in chemical analysis. A Python language computer simulation providing fast feedback on sampling concepts and statistics was delivered to students through Google Colab. Students used the simulation to aid in their exploration of sampling and sampling…

Aivaloglou, Efthimia; van der Meulen, Anna – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2021
Courses in computer science curricula often involve group programming assignments. Instructors are required to take several decisions on assignment setup and monitoring, team formation policies, and grading systems. Group programming projects provide unique monitoring opportunities due to the availability of both product and process data, as well…

Torun, Berkay; Karakurt, Serdar; Aydin, Taha Bilal; Altunel, Yusuf – Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, 2021
In this paper we present the result of our work on implementation of an interactive environment that can be used to develop adaptive games with animating characters. The environment is designed to run in design and run mode, whereas certain design mode characteristics are still applicable in run mode so that the player can enhance the game and…

St. Fleur, Abdah; deWinter, Jennifer – American Journal of Play, 2021
Using interview data from six Black content creators for "The Sims 4" (2014), the authors consider the politics of representation and self-expression in computer games. Black content, the authors find, consists not merely of depictions of skin tones, but also of the diverse global cultures of Black lived lives and Black…

Christian, Wolfgang; Belloni, Mario; Hanson, Robert M.; Mason, Bruce; Barbato, Lyle – Physics Teacher, 2021
Physlets, educational applets developed at Davidson College, are a widely used teaching resource designed to simulate a variety of physical phenomena. Originally, each Physlet was a Java simulation that was embedded in an HTML page as an applet and then customized using JavaScript to simulate a specific physics concept. The use of Java to simulate…

Sengupta, Ishita – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Introducing elementary concepts of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) to a beginner can be challenging. Using an interactive graphical platform can greatly aid in demonstrating key concepts in such cases. This paper aims to bridge this gap in teaching basic NMR spectroscopy through simple standalone interactive Python programs or a…

Ebru Erbilgin – ProQuest LLC, 2021
The problem that inspired this study is that Turkish students' mathematics rankings on global exams such as The Program for the International Students Assessment (PISA) and Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMMS) had been below the average for many years, a problem that may have rooted in children's early experiences with…

Bonifay, Wes; Depaoli, Sarah – Prevention Science, 2023
Statistical analysis of categorical data often relies on multiway contingency tables; yet, as the number of categories and/or variables increases, the number of table cells with few (or zero) observations also increases. Unfortunately, sparse contingency tables invalidate the use of standard goodness-of-fit statistics. Limited-information fit…

Khodabandelou, Rouhollah; Alhoqani, Khaloud – Education 3-13, 2023
This research aimed to study the effects of the WeDo 2.0 robot workshop on grade five students' acquisition of the computational thinking concepts (CTCs) and their acceptance of the robot technology. A quasi-experimental method, One-Group Pre-test Post-test design, was used. Thirty-five grade 5 students participated in a five-day (four hours of…

Ben-Yaacov, Anat; Hershkovitz, Arnon – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Block programming has been suggested as a way of engaging young learners with the foundations of programming and computational thinking in a syntax-free manner. Indeed, syntax errors--which form one of two broad categories of errors in programming, the other one being logic errors--are omitted while block programming. However, this does not mean…

Yildiz Durak, Hatice; Saritepeci, Mustafa; Durak, Aykut – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2023
Computational thinking skill is one of the basic skills required for every individual, such as reading and writing. For the development of CT, programming education is seen as the key. In the context of programming and CT relationship, it is very important to model individual characteristics and various affective variables with a holistic approach…

Bilgic, Kiraz; Dogusoy, Berrin – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
The importance of developing computational thinking (CT) skills has created many practices and research. A significant amount of research exists in the literature on CT and its related skills, yet the rareness of research studies focusing on both quantitative and qualitative evaluations of students' CT skills in real school settings is remarkable.…

Srivatanakul, Thitima – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Teaching an introductory programming course to first-year students has long been a challenge for many college instructors. The COVID-19 pandemic, which caused unprecedented shifts in learning modality across the globe, has worsened the learning experience of novice programmers. Instructors have to find innovative ways to keep students engaged and…

Weisberg, Steven M.; Schinazi, Victor R.; Ferrario, Andrea; Newcombe, Nora S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Relying on shared tasks and stimuli to conduct research can enhance the replicability of findings and allow a community of researchers to collect large data sets across multiple experiments. This approach is particularly relevant for experiments in spatial navigation, which often require the development of unfamiliar large-scale virtual…

Kynigos, Chronis; Karavakou, Myrto – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2023
We investigate three 8th-grade students' mathematical meanings developed in the context of using linked representations to generate animations of figural models tuned in musical rhythm in "MaLT2," a programmable Turtle Geometry in 3D resource affording dynamic manipulation of variable values. We adopted a modified version of the UDGS…
