Iseli, Markus; Feng, Tianying; Chung, Gregory; Ruan, Ziyue; Shochet, Joe; Strachman, Amy – Grantee Submission, 2021
Computational thinking (CT) has emerged as a key topic of interest in K-12 education. Children that are exposed at an early age to STEM curriculum, such as computer programming and computational thinking, demonstrate fewer obstacles entering technical fields. Increased knowledge of programming and computation in early childhood is also associated…

Demir-Kaçan, Sibel; Kaçan, Ahmet – International Journal of Psychology and Educational Studies, 2022
Students can develop their creative thinking processes and problem scenarios with robotic applications. Therefore, the research objective is that robotic applications can solve students' problem scenarios. This study was conducted in Samsun/Turkey in the Ministry of Education for 10 weeks and involved 8 elementary school students.. For this study,…

Cutumisu, Maria; Adams, Catherine; Glanfield, Florence; Yuen, Connie; Lu, Chang – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
The growing interest of educational researchers in computational thinking (CT) has led to an expanding literature on assessments of CT skills and attitudes. However, few studies have examined whether CT attitudes influence CT skills. The present study examines the relationship between CT attitudes and CT skills for preservice teachers (PSTs). The…

Papadakis, Stamatios – Educational Process: International Journal, 2022
Background/purpose: At the beginning of the 21st century, Computational Thinking (CT) and coding were typically considered part of secondary education programs, focusing on programming and algorithm development. The early childhood classroom was not expected to find students who developed coding skills. Nevertheless, as has been the case lately,…

Karen Woo; Garry Falloon – Australian Educational Researcher, 2025
Coding and computational thinking are being hailed as the new literacy for the twenty-first century, and have become increasingly common in schools world-wide. At the same time, the sector is facing a global shortage of technology teachers, and technology lessons are frequently being delivered by non-specialist teachers. Therefore, some have…

Bais, Frank; Schouten, Barry; Lugtig, Peter; Toepoel, Vera; Arends-Tòth, Judit; Douhou, Salima; Kieruj, Natalia; Morren, Mattijn; Vis, Corrie – Sociological Methods & Research, 2019
Item characteristics can have a significant effect on survey data quality and may be associated with measurement error. Literature on data quality and measurement error is often inconclusive. This could be because item characteristics used for detecting measurement error are not coded unambiguously. In our study, we use a systematic coding…

Moya, Antonio A. – Physics Education, 2019
We have designed an Arduino-based experiment to check the linear relationship between charge and voltage drop in a capacitor. The electric charge stored in a capacitor is determined by the numerical integration over time of the electric current during the charging or discharging processes through a resistor. Instead of using scientific software to…

Tsabari, Stav; Segal, Avi; Gal, Kobi – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Automatically identifying struggling students learning to program can assist teachers in providing timely and focused help. This work presents a new deep-learning language model for predicting "bug-fix-time", the expected duration between when a software bug occurs and the time it will be fixed by the student. Such information can guide…

Hintermeier, Lisa; Hautala, Jarkko; Aro, Mikko – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2023
Purpose: The present study investigated whether the number of syllables affects developing readers' word recognition when controlling for word length and word frequency and, if so, whether the effect is dependent on reading fluency. The target language was Finnish, a language with a transparent orthography and a simple syllable structure. Method:…

Dahn, Maggie; DeLiema, David; Enyedy, Noel – Teachers College Record, 2020
Background/Context: Computer science has been making its way into K-12 education for some time now. As computer science education has moved into learning spaces, research has focused on teaching computer science skills and principles but has not sufficiently explored the emotional aspects of students' experiences. This topic warrants further study…

Samsa, Gregory – Journal of Curriculum and Teaching, 2020
Objective: In a Statistical Analysis System (SAS) coding interview, job applicants are typically presented with data management and data analysis problems and asked to solve them using the programming language of SAS. Interviewers not only assess technical competence, but also algorithm design and more generally how applicants approach computer…

Margulieux, Lauren E.; Morrison, Brian B.; Franke, Baker; Ramilison, Harivololona – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2020
The subgoal learning framework has improved performance for novice programmers in higher education, but it has only started to be applied and studied in K-12 (primary/secondary). Programming education in K-12 is growing, and many international initiatives are attempting to increase participation, including curricular initiatives like Computer…

Wu, Longkai; Looi, Chee-Kit; Multisilta, Jari; How, Meng-Leong; Choi, Hyungshin; Hsu, Ting-Chia; Tuomi, Pauliina – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2020
Many education systems have recognized the importance of computational thinking and coding skills and are implementing curricular changes to introduce coding into formal school education. A necessary and critical success factor involves the preparation of and support for teachers to teach coding. Thus, understanding the perceptions of teachers…

Ebert, Kerry Danahy – Topics in Language Disorders, 2020
Language sample analysis (LSA) has been called the "gold standard" for clinical language assessment with children learning more than one language. The research literature discussing this clinical tool with bilingual children has grown substantially in recent years. This article reviews and synthesizes the literature on LSA in order to…
