Rõõm, Marili; Luik, Piret; Lepp, Marina – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Learners' success in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and the factors influencing it have previously been examined mainly upon completion of the course. This approach does not reveal whether learners are fulfilling their initial intentions regarding MOOCs and which factors affect it and thus the individual success of the learners. This…

Price, Colin B.; Price-Mohr, Ruth – Education 3-13, 2023
This study investigates computer programming ('coding') activities of Primary School Children; we ask if there is evidence of gender differences in their coding activities. The research took place in an English urban school with around 180 children on role, mostly from a middle-class social background. The study involved a class of 17 boys and 15…

Dragan Zlatkovic´; Miljana Ðordevic´ Zlatkovic´; Niko Radulovic´ – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Herein, we present a program implemented in Python that utilizes a simple complete-search algorithm to determine the geometry of a lanthanide-substrate (LS) complex. The program serves as a practical project in a programming course for chemistry students, specifically aimed at illustrating fundamental concepts such as decision-making, repetition,…

Goudouris, Cesar; de Abreu Mol, Antônio Carlos; Legey, Ana Paula; de Carvalho, Paulo Victor Rodrigues; Freire, Joana Loureiro; Martins, Bianca Maria Rego; Jatobá, Alessandro – Education and Information Technologies, 2020
Teaching computer programming to children and adolescents has become popular in recent years. This popularity has resulted in increased research into techniques for teaching introductory programming using visual languages, especially block-based languages. This study aims to explore new possibilities for teaching programming by adopting a hybrid…

Maruyama, Yukiko – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2020
To investigate the effects previous experience on the impressions of parents regarding computer programming, a survey was carried out before and after parent-children workshops were conducted. The results of the survey showed that the impressions of the participants regarding computer programming after the workshops became more positive than…

McLoughlin, Shane; Tyndall, Ian; Pereira, Antonina – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2022
In recent years, small-scale studies have suggested that we may be able to substantially strengthen children's general cognitive abilities and intelligence quotient (IQ) scores using a relational operant skills training program (SMART). Only one of these studies to date has included an active Control Condition, and that study reported the smallest…

Jahnke, Maximilian; Höppner, Frank – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
The value of an instructor is that she exactly recognizes what the learner is struggling with and provides constructive feedback straight to the point. This work aims at a step towards this type of feedback in the context of an introductory programming course, where students perform program execution tracing to align their understanding of Java…

Bende, Imre – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2022
Understanding data structures is fundamental for mastering algorithms. In order to solve problems and tasks, students must be able to choose the most appropriate data structure in which the data is stored and that helps in the process of the solution. Of course, there is no single correct solution, but in many cases, it is an important step to…

Morales-Trujillo, Miguel Ehecatl; Galster, Matthias; Gilson, Fabian; Mathews, Moffat – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
Background: Peer evaluation in software engineering (SE) project courses enhances the learning experience of students. It also helps instructors monitor and assess both teams and individual students. Peer evaluations might influence the way individual students and teams work; therefore, the quality of the peer evaluations should be tracked through…

Marwan, Samiha; Akram, Bita; Barnes, Tiffany; Price, Thomas W. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2022
Theories on learning show that formative feedback that is immediate, specific, corrective, and positive is essential to improve novice students' motivation and learning. However, most prior work on programming feedback focuses on highlighting student's mistakes, or detecting failed test cases after they submit a solution. In this article, we…

de Jesus, Ângelo Magno; Silveira, Ismar Frango – Informatics in Education, 2022
The Computational Thinking (CT) teaching approach allows students to practice problem-solving in a way that they can use the Computer Science mindset. In this sense, Collaborative Learning has a lot to contribute to educational activities involving the CT. This article presents the design and evaluation of a Collaborative Learning framework for…

Sharmin, Sadia – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2022
Computer science is a fast-growing field in today's digitized age, and working in this industry often requires creativity and innovative thought. An issue within computer science education, however, is that large introductory programming courses often involve little opportunity for creative thinking within coursework. The undergraduate…

Silvis, Deborah; Lee, Victor R.; Clarke-Midura, Jody; Shumway, Jessica F. – Information and Learning Sciences, 2022
Purpose: Much remains unknown about how young children orient to computational objects and how we as learning scientists can orient to young children as computational thinkers. While some research exists on how children learn programming, very little has been written about how they learn the technical skills needed to operate technologies or to…
