Demir, Faruk – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
The abstract structure, logic, negative perceptions, and anxiety of programming are seen as obstacles to novice programmers. The importance of educational programming languages is increasing day by day in overcoming these obstacles. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of educational programming language integration on academic…

Ainsley Miller; Kate Pyper – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
R is becoming the standard for teaching statistics due to its flexibility, and open-source nature, replacing software programs like Minitab and SPSS. The main driver for reform within Scottish statistical undergraduate programs is the creation of the Scottish Qualification Authority's Higher Applications of Mathematics course which has statistics…

Forrester, Chiara; Schwikert, Shane; Foster, James; Corwin, Lisa – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
The ability to program in R, an open-source statistical program, is increasingly valued across job markets, including ecology. The benefits of teaching R to undergraduates are abundant, but learning to code in R may induce anxiety for students, potentially leading to negative learning outcomes and disengagement. Anecdotes suggest a gender…

Tessa Charles; Carl Gwilliam – Journal for STEM Education Research, 2023
STEM fields, such as physics, increasingly rely on complex programs to analyse large datasets, thus teaching students the required programming skills is an important component of all STEM curricula. Since undergraduate students often have no prior coding experience, they are reliant on error messages as the primary diagnostic tool to identify and…
