Sun, Lihui; Hu, Linlin; Zhou, Danhua – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
Promoting the cultivation of computational thinking (CT) skills in programming activities has become a key issue in the K-12 curriculum, however, there is no unified conclusion on how to design programming activities to promote the acquisition of CT skills more effectively. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using…

Paassen, Benjamin; McBroom, Jessica; Jeffries, Bryn; Koprinska, Irena; Yacef, Kalina – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2021
Educational data mining involves the application of data mining techniques to student activity. However, in the context of computer programming, many data mining techniques can not be applied because they require vector-shaped input, whereas computer programs have the form of syntax trees. In this paper, we present ast2vec, a neural network that…

van der Linde, Diane; Voogt, Joke; van Aar, Nicole – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2021
In this study we analysed what computational thinking skills pupils used when programming a small robot to solve a given problem, a simple programming task in which pupils had to select codes and put them in the correct place. Computational thinking is the process of (re)formulating a problem so that it becomes possible to use computer technology…

Hsu, Ting-Chia; Abelson, Hal; Patton, Evan; Chen, Shih-Chu; Chang, Hsuan-Ning – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2021
In order to promote the practice of co-creation, a real-time collaboration (RTC) version of the popular block-based programming (BBP) learning environment, MIT App Inventor (MAI), was proposed and implemented. RTC overcomes challenges related to non-collocated group work, thus lowering barriers to cross-region and multi-user collaborative software…

da Cruz Alves, Nathalia; Gresse von Wangenheim, Christiane; Martins-Pacheco, Lúcia Helena – Informatics in Education, 2021
Creativity has emerged as an important 21st-century competency. Although it is traditionally associated with arts and literature, it can also be developed as part of computing education. Therefore, this article presents a systematic mapping of approaches for assessing creativity based on the analysis of computer programs created by the students.…

Thomas, Paul J.; Patel, Devang; Magana, Alejandra J. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2021
Software modeling is an integral practice for software engineers, especially as the complexity of software solutions increases. Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the industry standard for software modeling. however, it is often used incorrectly and misunderstood by novice software designers. This study is centered around understanding patterns of…

Atsushi Mizumoto; Geoffrey G. Pinchbeck; Stuart McLean – Vocabulary Learning and Instruction, 2021
This paper introduces a novel online vocabulary profiling application called the New Word Level Checker (https://nwlc.pythonanywhere.com/) and word list resources used by the application. First, the rationale for developing another web vocabulary profiler and the word lists included in the application are described. Next, the lexical units (i.e.,…

Zeyad Alshaikh – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Programming skills are a vital part of many disciplines but can be challenging to teach and learn. Thus, the programming courses are considered difficult and a major stumbling block. To overcome these challenges, students could benefit from extensive individual support such as tutoring, but there are simply not enough qualified tutors available to…

Gao, Xuemin; Hew, Khe Foon – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Reintroducing computer science (CS) education in K-12 schools to promote computational thinking (CT) has attracted significant attention among scholars and educators. Among the several essential components included in CS and CT education, program debugging is an indispensable skill. However, debugging teaching has often been overlooked in K-12…

Craig, Clay Martin; Brooks, Mary Elizabeth; Bichard, Shannon – International Journal of Listening, 2023
Despite the pervasive nature of podcasts, little research has examined college student's affinity for and motivations to listen to podcasts. This study investigated college students' motivations, attitudes and behaviors in association with podcasts utilizing the appreciative listening framework in conjunction with uses and gratification theory.…

W. Brian Lane; Terrie M. Galanti; X. L. Rozas – Journal for STEM Education Research, 2023
Integrating computational thinking (CT) into STEM disciplines requires secondary teachers to develop their pedagogical content knowledge of computing and content integration. Experienced teachers who choose to integrate CT in their secondary STEM courses may struggle in the same ways as novice teachers as they learn about programming and its…

Yuxin Chen; Yuting Wu; Zhengwen Li; Yanyan Zheng; Binhang Yan; Yi Cheng – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The "maker" movement is gaining widespread attention, especially in the field of laboratory education. Here we have built a low-cost, "do-it-yourself", open-source thermal conductivity cell detector (TCD) for chemical laboratory analysis, which is assembled from thermal conductivity gas sensor elements and 3D-printed flow cell…
