Xu, Weiqi; Wu, Yajuan; Ouyang, Fan – International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, 2023
Pair programming (PP), as a mode of collaborative problem solving (CPS) in computer programming education, asks two students work in a pair to co-construct knowledge and solve problems. Considering the complex multimodality of pair programming caused by students' discourses, behaviors, and socio-emotions, it is of critical importance to examine…

Garcia, Manuel B. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Computer programming is a difficult course for many students. Prior works advocated for group learning pedagogies in pursuit of higher-level reasoning and conceptual understanding. However, the methodological gaps in existing implementations warrant further research. This study conducted a three-armed cluster-randomized controlled trial to…

Soengas-Pérez, Xosé; Rodríguez-Castro, Marta; Campos-Freire, Francisco – Comunicar: Media Education Research Journal, 2023
The audiences of generalist television's newscasts reflect that the viewers' interests and loyalties are constantly changing. Research shows that several elements influence the success of programs and formats, but in this paper, we draw attention to the factors that determine the credibility of newscasts. We also want to know how pluralism is…

Sendag, Serkan; Yakin, Ilker; Gedik, Nuray – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Teaching programming skills has attracted a great deal of attention for more than a decade. One potential reason behind this is that the explicit teaching of computer programming can improve higher-order thinking skills, such as creativity. Moreover, whether or not creative programming learning activities, such as the use of…

Qin, Chao; Liu, Yanjia; Zhang, Hemei – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Being easy to learn and fun, block-based programming tools are widely used to teach students introductory programming. Scratch and LEGO robots are two popular block-based programming tools. However, the objects they manipulate are completely different. Scratch manipulates graphical virtual sprites, whereas LEGO robots manipulate…
