Schembari, N. Paul – PRIMUS, 2020
Ciphers based on rotor machines were the state-of-the-art in the mid-1900s, with arguably the most famous being the German Enigma. We have found that students have great interest in the Enigma and its cryptanalysis, so we created our own rotor cipher that is simulated with shifting tables and can be cryptanalyzed. Ours and the historic rotor…

Allison Payne Burney – ProQuest LLC, 2020
No doubt exists that literacy and mathematics are the primary foci of early childhood education. Children have limited exposure to computer science-related topics, including robotics, coding, and engineering design. This study is based on prior research evidence indicating that early childhood teachers' confidence and competence can be enhanced…

Monteiro, Ana Francisca; Miranda-Pinto, Maribel; Osório, António José – Education Sciences, 2021
Coding is increasingly recognized as a new literacy that should be encouraged at a young age. This understanding has recontextualized computer science as a compulsory school subject and has informed several developmentally appropriate approaches to computation, including for preschool children. This study focuses on the introduction of three…

Abdüsselam, Mustafa Serkan; Turan-Güntepe, Ebru – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2021
This study aims to determine the perceptions of undergraduates, who are receiving coding in a faculty of education, on modal representations employed in the teaching process and identify their transition skills between representations. The research used the quantitative research method, non-experimental design, and descriptive search models,…

Özcan, Meryem Seyda; Çetinkaya, Esra; Göksun, Tilbe; Kisbu-Sakarya, Yasemin – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Background: Coding has been added to school curricula in several countries, being one of the necessary competencies of the 21st century. Although it has also been suggested to foster the development of several cognitive skills such as computational thinking and problem-solving, studies on the effects of coding are very limited, provide mixed…

Nikolakopoulou, Adriani; Mavridis, Dimitris; Chiocchia, Virginia; Papakonstantinou, Theodoros; Furukawa, Toshi A.; Salanti, Georgia – Research Synthesis Methods, 2021
Background: Network meta-analysis (NMA) produces complex outputs as many comparisons between interventions are of interest. The estimated relative treatment effects are usually displayed in a forest plot or in a league table and several ranking metrics are calculated and presented. Methods: In this article, we estimate relative treatment effects…

Jaquiss, Robert – Journal of Science Education for Students with Disabilities, 2021
BLV (blind low vision) students face difficulties when taking coding classes. Individual Development Environments (IDE) can be inaccessible which make it difficult if not impossible for BLV students to complete coursework. Alternative techniques are described which will allow a BLV student to successfully complete coursework. The author has found…

Huang, Xiaoyi; Kim, Nayoung; Christianson, Kiel – Language Learning, 2019
When introducing new words in a second language (L2), presenting vocabulary with concurrent gestures might facilitate learners' recollection of new words. Previous research has suggested that this gestural advantage might hold only for gestures that overlap with the semantics of the words. Dual coding theory predicts that learners should learn…

Sokratis Tselegkaridis; Theodosios Sapounidis; Christos Tokatlidis; Dimitrios Papakostas – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2025
Contribution: This study focuses on microcontroller circuits and aims to: 1) investigate the impact of formal reasoning on students' post-knowledge using catastrophe theory; 2) compare the different combination sequences of tangible user interface (TUI) and graphical user interface (GUI); and 3) assess the usability of both interfaces and explore…

Dandan Yang; Zhanxia Yang; Marina Umaschi Bers – Computer Science Education, 2025
Background and context: Despite the growing importance of computer science (CS) education, high-quality CS curricula for students in kindergarten to lower elementary grades are lacking. It is also unclear how students from underrepresented groups such as female students, students from low socioeconomic status, and students with disability respond…

Burrows, Andrea C.; Borowczak, Mike; Mugayitoglu, Bekir – Education Sciences, 2022
Computer science, cybersecurity education, and microcredentials are becoming more pervasive in all levels of the educational system. The purpose of this study was partnering with precollegiate teachers: (1) to investigate the self-efficacy of 30 precollegiate teacher participants towards computer science before, during, and after three iterations…

Critten, Valerie; Hagon, Hannah; Messer, David – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2022
Guided play activities were developed so that coding clubs could promote computational thinking skills in preschool children. The clubs involved fifteen children aged between 2 and 4 years, including a group of children with communication difficulties. The children took part in an action-research scoping study over three coding clubs involving six…

Lakshminarayanan, Srinivasan; Rao, N. J. – Higher Education for the Future, 2022
There are many grey areas in the interpretation of academic integrity in the course on Introduction to Programming, commonly known as CS1. Copying, for example, is a method of learning, a method of cheating and a reuse method in professional practice. Many institutions in India publish the code in the lab course manual. The students are expected…

Padayachi, Sasha; Maistry, Suriamurthee Moonsamy – International Journal of Higher Education, 2022
This study investigates the implementation of the methodology, Interactive Qualitative Analysis (IQA) (Northcutt & McCoy, 2004) during the COVID-19 pandemic, to understand how non-major accounting students learn Accounting 101 in a threshold concepts-inspired tutorial programme. Even though IQA is a predominantly qualitative method, it…
