Regular expressions (REs) are often taught to undergraduate computer science majors in the Formal Languages and Automata (FLA) course; they are widely used to implement different software functionalities such as search mechanisms and data validation in diverse fields. Despite their importance, the difficulty of REs has been asserted many times in…

Dorian Stoilescu; Andreea Molnar – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
This article explores differences between women's and men's views on teaching and learning in undergraduate computer science studies at a Canadian university. The research focuses on perceptions and experiences about learning activities and teaching computer science and how students and teachers view these aspects as valuable for these activities.…

Modern software companies prioritize high-quality products for competitiveness, and Software Process Improvement (SPI) models help achieve this. In Brazil, the Brazilian Software Process Improvement Model ("MPS-SW" model) is widely used, but its complexity and extensive documentation make it challenging to teach in undergraduate courses.…

Cynthia Pinheiro Santiago; Antonio Rodrigo dos Santos Silva; José Wally Mendonça Menezes; Francisco José Alves de Aquino – Informatics in Education, 2025
The introductory programming disciplines, which include the teaching of algorithms and computational logic, have high failure and dropout rates. Developing Computational Thinking in students can contribute to learning programming fundamentals by building algorithmic and problem-solving skills. However, keeping students engaged in training such…

Verica R. Milutinovic; Ivana Obradovic; Suzana Ðordevic – Educational Studies, 2025
Many countries are revising their computing curricula, including Serbia, where coding became a core subject in primary schools in 2017/2018. Gamification is a common teaching method, yet little research explores primary students' motivation to learn coding through gamification. This study aims to investigate the factors that influence primary…

Deepti Reddy Patil; Sridhar Iyer; Sasikumar – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
Design problems are often ill-structured as the requirements are broadly defined and have multiple correct solutions. Experts solve such problems by applying various cognitive and metacognitive skills before the formal specifications and solution designs are documented. Novices often need help solving ill-structured design problems as they lack…

Motivation: In computing, Impostor Phenomenon (IP) has been viewed as a problem for many years, but little research has been done to show its prevalence. In 2020, IP in computing began to be explored at single institutions. The results showed that IP is prevalent among undergraduate and graduate students in computing courses and that the rates of…

Olha V. Barna; Olena H. Kuzminska; Serhiy O. Semerikov – Discover Education, 2025
This study investigates how integrating STEM content in computer science education enhances the implementation of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles and its impact on digital competence development in Ukrainian secondary schools. The digital transformation of education demands innovative pedagogical approaches that accommodate diverse…

Counter-Hegemonic Computing: Toward Computer Science Education for Value Generation and Emancipation
Eglash, Ron; Bennett, Audrey; Cooke, Laquana; Babbitt, William; Lachney, Michael – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2021
Students' lives, both in and out of school, are full of different forms of value. Wealthy students enjoy value in the form of financial capital; their fit to hegemonic social practices; excellent health care and so on. Low-income students, especially those from African American, Native American, and Latinx communities, often lack access to those…

Duran, Rodrigo; Sorva, Juha; Seppälä, Otto – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2021
We propose a framework for identifying, organizing, and communicating learning objectives that involve program semantics. In this framework, detailed learning objectives are written down as rules of program behavior (RPBs). RPBs are teacher-facing statements that describe what needs to be learned about the behavior of a specific sort of programs.…

Mertala, Pekka – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
While computing has been (re)introduced into the basic education curricula in various countries, its actual implementation appears to be inconsistent. There are schools in which computing education is commonplace, while the implementation seems to be lagging behind in others. There is emerging evidence that some teachers do not consider computing…

Shi, Yang; Mao, Ye; Barnes, Tiffany; Chi, Min; Price, Thomas W. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Automatically detecting bugs in student program code is critical to enable formative feedback to help students pinpoint errors and resolve them. Deep learning models especially code2vec and ASTNN have shown great success for "large-scale" code classification. It is not clear, however, whether they can be effectively used for bug…

Hao, Xiaoxin; Xu, Zhiyi; Guo, Mingyue; Hu, Yuzheng; Geng, Fengji – International Journal of STEM Education, 2023
Background: Coding has become an integral part of STEM education. However, novice learners face difficulties in processing codes within embedded structures (also termed nested structures). This study aimed to investigate the cognitive mechanism underlying the processing of embedded coding structures based on hierarchical complexity theory, which…

Prior studies in the Computer Science education literature have illustrated that novices make many mistakes in composing SQL queries. Query formulation proves to be difficult for students. Only recently, some headway was made towards understanding why SQL leads to so many mistakes, by uncovering student misconceptions. In this article, we shed new…

Collins, Jazmin; Ford, Vitaly – Journal of Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice, 2023
The use of the Capture the Flag (CTF)-style competitions has grown popular in a variety of environments as a method to improve or reinforce cybersecurity techniques. However, while these competitions have shown promise in student engagement, enjoyment, and the teaching of essential workforce cybersecurity concepts, many of these CTF challenges…
