Wenrui Huang; Dajanae Palmer; Ekaete Udoh; Yung Chun; Jason Jabbari – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2025
The shortage of STEM workers, particularly in computer science, is compounded by the underrepresentation of women and certain minoritized racial/ethnic groups in these fields. Efforts to address worker shortages and broaden participation include improving traditional STEM education pathways and creating alternative pathways. While persistence has…

Ernst Bekkering; Patrick Harrington – Information Systems Education Journal, 2025
Generative AI has recently gained the ability to generate computer code. This development is bound to affect how computer programming is taught in higher education. We used past programming assignments and solutions for textbook exercises in our introductory programming class to analyze how accurately one of the leading models, ChatGPT, generates…

Yin-Rong Zhang; Zhong-Mei Han; Tao He; Chang-Qin Huang; Fan Jiang; Gang Yang; Xue-Mei Wu – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Collaborative programming is important and challenging for K12 students. Scaffolding is a vital method to support students' collaborative programming learning. However, conventional scaffolding that does not fade may lead students to become overly dependent, resulting in unsatisfactory programming performance. Objectives: This study…

Wendy Huang; Chee-Kit Looi; Misong Kim – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
Much attention has been paid to computational thinking (CT) as a problem-solving approach across various curricula, particularly in mathematics. Most studies solely used a digital instrument or examined transfer of program solving ability, neglecting the mathematics knowledge domain or how the novel digital instrument functions alongside the…

Simon D. Weaver; G. Alex Ambrose; Rebecca J. Whelan – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Students completing undergraduate majors in chemistry are not typically required to undergo formal training in computer programming or coding. As a result, many chemistry students are graduating without skills in understanding, writing, or manipulating computer code. This skills gap places students at a disadvantage, considering the widespread and…

Fanchamps, Nardie; Slangen, Lou; Specht, Marcus; Hennissen, Paul – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2022
This article illustrates that the task design and problem selection are of characteristic influence to evoke sense-reason-act programming (SRA) among primary school pupils when programming robots. Research shows that the task design influences the development of computational thinking (CT). The literature provides evidence that the context, the…

Gueudet, Ghislaine; Buteau, Chantal; Muller, Eric; Mgombelo, Joyce; Sacristán, Ana Isabel; Rodriguez, Marisol Santacruz – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
We are interested in understanding how university students learn to use programming as a tool for "authentic" mathematical investigations (i.e., similar to how some mathematicians use programming in their research work). The theoretical perspective of the instrumental approach offers a way of interpreting this learning in terms of…

Boz, Tugba; Allexsaht-Snider, Martha – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
In this qualitative case study, we examined in-service elementary school teachers' learning of coding and robotics in a blended professional learning course developed and delivered through the collaboration between university faculty and a school district. We focused on activity theory to understand and reveal the mediations, conflicts, and…

Erol, Osman; Çirak, Nese Sevim – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Problem-solving is one of the most important twenty-first-century skills and should be acquired at an early age. Since programming is a kind of problem-solving process, it may be seen in the context of problem-solving skills development. Hence, this study aims to identify the effectiveness of one of the most popular programming tools…

Rodrigues, Luiz; Pereira, Filipe; Toda, Armando; Palomino, Paula; Oliveira, Wilk; Pessoa, Marcela; Carvalho, Leandro; Oliveira, David; Oliveira, Elaine; Cristea, Alexandra; Isotani, Seiji – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2022
Students face several difficulties in introductory programming courses (CS1), often leading to high dropout rates, student demotivation, and lack of interest. The literature has indicated that the adequate use of gamification might improve learning in several domains, including CS1. However, the understanding of which (and how) factors influence…

Pelánek, Radek; Effenberger, Tomáš – Computer Science Education, 2022
Background and Context: Block-based programming is a popular approach to teaching introductory programming. Block-based programming often works in the context of microworlds, where students solve specific puzzles. It is used, for example, within the Hour of Code event, which targets millions of students. Objective: To identify design guidelines…

Yesengazyevna, Sagimbayeva Ainur; Niyetbayeva, Nadira; Tassuov, Bolat; Kalima, Tuyenbayeva; Bekbulatovna, Arystanova Assel – Cypriot Journal of Educational Sciences, 2022
The purpose of this research is to get students' opinions on teaching programming to students with the help of educational games in the conditions of additional education in computer science. In order to carry out the study in accordance with the main purpose, the phenomenological approach, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The…

Ezeamuzie, Ndudi O.; Leung, Jessica S. C.; Garcia, Raycelle C. C.; Ting, Fridolin S. T. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: The idea of computational thinking is underpinned by the belief that anyone can learn and use the underlying concepts of computer science to solve everyday problems. However, most studies on the topic have investigated the development of computational thinking through programming activities, which are cognitively demanding. There is a…

Johri, Aditya – Research in Learning Technology, 2022
There has been a conscious effort in the past decade to produce a more theoretical account of the use of technology for learning. At the same time, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are being rapidly incorporated into learning technologies, significantly changing their affordances for teaching and learning. In this article I address the…
