Su, Jiahong; Yang, Weipeng; Li, Hui – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2023
Coding (or computer programming) helps equip children with an intellectual structure that is valuable for their lifelong learning and development. The proliferation of innovative coding platforms, especially screen-free programmable robotics, has made it possible for coding to be integrated into early childhood education (ECE). However, how the…

Peabody, Michael R. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2023
Many organizations utilize some form of automation in the test assembly process; either fully algorithmic or heuristically constructed. However, one issue with heuristic models is that when the test assembly problem changes the entire model may need to be re-conceptualized and recoded. In contrast, mixed-integer programming (MIP) is a mathematical…

Kaste, Joshua A. M.; Green, Antwan; Shachar-Hill, Yair – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
The modeling of rates of biochemical reactions--fluxes--in metabolic networks is widely used for both basic biological research and biotechnological applications. A number of different modeling methods have been developed to estimate and predict fluxes, including kinetic and constraint-based (Metabolic Flux Analysis and flux balance analysis)…

Monique Woodard – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This mixed methods study examines the creativity of Black girls as they learned to code virtual environments in an afterschool program. The afterschool program, West Philly Tech Camp/Black Girls in Computing was a nine-week program in which students learned to code a virtual chatbot using Python. The program's design was guided by culturally…

Lundahl, Christian; Serder, Margareta – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2023
How can we understand the uncertainties in high-stake measures such as PISA in relation to the claims that different authorities make from them? In this paper, we use a rather remarkable case from Sweden involving conflicting interpretations of the PISA 2018 results at a national political level and a fight over statistics between two national…

Li-Chen Cheng; Wei Li; Judy C. R. Tseng – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Programming ability is the core ability of this era and can be obtained and improved through practice. In this paper, an Automated Programming Assessment system based on Mastery learning and Peer competition (APAMP) was proposed and developed. APAMP allows students to practice repeatedly by providing immediate feedback after their programs are…

Moon, Tyler; Abegaz, Tamirat; Payne, Bryson; Salimi, Abi – Journal of Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice, 2020
Several research findings indicate that basic cyber hygiene can potentially deter the majority of cyber threats. One of the ways cybersecurity professionals can prepare users to ensure proper hygiene is to help them develop their ability to spot the difference between normal and abnormal behavior in a computer system. Malware disrupts the normal…
