Technology educators often provide activities where pupils design programmed technological solutions (PTS) with various programming materials for developing pupils' technological knowledge related to PTS and digital technology. However, few studies have investigated how pupils experience these activities. To fill this gap in knowledge, this…

Capstone projects usually represent the most significant academic endeavor with which students have been involved. Time management tends to be one of the hurdles. On top, University students are prone to procrastinatory behavior. Inexperience and procrastination team up for students failing to meet deadlines. Supervisors strive to help. Yet heavy…

Context-aware mobile learning applications provide learning materials to suit the needs of individual learners. Despite several applications developed, there is a lack of architectural support for developing these applications. This has resulted in a number of challenges; lack of standardization, poor quality of developed applications, and…

Statistical Analysis Software (SAS) is a widely used tool for data management analysis across a variety of fields. The procedure for item response theory (PROC IRT) is one to perform unidimensional and multidimensional item response theory (IRT) analysis for dichotomous and polytomous data. This review provides a summary of the features of PROC…

Against the background of digital transformation processes that are currently changing the world of work, this paper examines general digital competences of beginning trainees in commercial vocational education and training (VET) programs. We are particularly interested in factors influencing digital competence profiles. From survey data including…

In computer science education timely help seeking during large programming projects is essential for student success. Help-seeking in typical courses happens in office hours and through online forums. In this research, we analyze students coding activities and help requests to understand the interaction between these activities. We collected…

Bullying and cyberbullying have rarely been studied among the adoptive population, although the few studies available show adopted students frequently experience these phenomena. To address this research gap, this article examined potential differences in bullying and cyberbullying between domestic adoptees, intercountry adoptees, and nonadopted…

Employee turnover is costly to businesses; replacing one employee costs 90-200% of the employee's annual salary (Allen, 2008; Cascio, 2006). Business leaders know that ineffective onboarding may be a component of the problem. This quasi-experimental study compares results from three annual cohorts of Associate Software Engineers who participated…

In this article, we construct a very simple double pendulum (the concept of a pendulum should be familiar to all beginning students of classical mechanics). Since a double pendulum has two degrees of freedom, we suggest that this pendulum can be used in the classroom environment to illustrate the concept of normal modes, and we use video software…

In May and June 2021, the author conducted a survey of the computing and mathematical graduation requirements of 500 Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) programs in the U.S. to determine alignment among these requirements and those recommended by ACM/IEEE-CS's Computer Science Curricula 2013 guidelines and ABET's Criteria for…

To help address programming plagiarism and collusion, students should be informed about acceptable practices and about program similarity, both coincidental and non-coincidental. However, current approaches are usually manual, brief, and delivered well before students are in a situation where they might commit academic misconduct. This article…

Compared with the application of Digital Twin (DT) in the industrial field, the application of DT in the field of education is still in its infancy. In this paper, a Digital Twin Campus (DTC) for teaching and learning is proposed. It is argued that DTC possesses two characteristics. First, DTC has a wide variety of employment orientations for…

This research aims to create a bibliometric map of studies on the use of metaverse in education. We used the bibliometric mapping technique from an international viewpoint to assess trends in the area of metaverse research on education by disclosing the author, publication, keyword, journal, country, and citation factors. Most research on the…

In the late 1960s, when federal officials and eminent psychologists were first designing the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), they probably never contemplated testing students younger than nine. The technology for mass testing at the time--bubble sheets and No. 2 pencils--only worked if students could read the instructions and…

This article presents a project that uses a business context to introduce students to a multiphase approach to analytics while relying primarily on an introductory Excel course for prerequisite knowledge. A range of analytics techniques--including Excel Pivot tables and charts, regression trend lines, and linear programming--are combined into an…
