Jessica M. M. Hamer; Peter E. J. Kemp; Billy Wong; Meggie Copsey-Blake – Cambridge Journal of Education, 2024
Digital skills are beneficial for young people and society, but some individuals, particularly girls, are less likely to choose computing post-compulsory education. Coding is a crucial skill in the school computing curriculum. The authors collected survey data from 4983 secondary-school students (ages 11-16) as well as conducted exploratory factor…

Chase, Catherine C.; Malkiewich, Laura J.; Lee, Alison; Slater, Stefan; Choi, Ahram; Xing, Chenmu – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
It is difficult to motivate learners to seek out and persist at challenging learning tasks where failure is likely. However, in game environments, people seem highly motivated to engage with challenges and respond productively to failure. Many typical game features purportedly enhance intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy, which should improve…

Lyon, Louise Ann; Green, Emily – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2021
College-educated women in the workforce are discovering a latent interest in and aptitude for computing motivated by the prevalence of computing as an integral part of jobs in many fields as well as continued headlines about the number of unfilled, highly paid computing jobs. One of these women's choices for retraining are the so-called coding…

Kite, Vance; Park, Soonhye; Wiebe, Eric – SAGE Open, 2021
Computational thinking (CT) is being recognized as a critical component of student success in the digital era. Many contend that integrating CT into core curricula is the surest method for providing all students with access to CT. However, the CT community lacks an agreed-upon conceptualization of CT that would facilitate this integration, and…

Aguilera, Earl – Theory Into Practice, 2021
This article uses a lens of procedural literacies to theorize youth practices of digital game-playing, modification, and creation as digital writing. The concept of procedurality describes the ways that videogames and other digital media are composed of systems of processes--computational or otherwise, which define these artifacts in form,…

Ladias, Anastasios; Mikropoulos, Aristotelis; Ladias, Demetrios; Bellou, Ioanna – Themes in eLearning, 2021
This paper reports on CodeOrama, a visualization tool that displays the entire source code in a two-dimensional representation created to support the representation of a complex code in block-based programming environments, like Scratch, by using a two-dimension table. CodeOrama can be used by the students for the development of their programs as…

Gombert, Sebastian; Di Mitri, Daniele; Karademir, Onur; Kubsch, Marcus; Kolbe, Hannah; Tautz, Simon; Grimm, Adrian; Bohm, Isabell; Neumann, Knut; Drachsler, Hendrik – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Formative assessments are needed to enable monitoring how student knowledge develops throughout a unit. Constructed response items which require learners to formulate their own free-text responses are well suited for testing their active knowledge. However, assessing such constructed responses in an automated fashion is a complex task…

Shim, Hyoyoung; Lee, Hyangeun – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Virtual reality (VR) technology is playing a crucial role in the changing paradigm of education. In many cases, however, VR technology is not being taught because of the lack of relevant educational content at middle and high school levels. This study investigates the effect of design education using VR-based coding on students' competence and…
