Domicián Máté; Judit T. Kiss; Mária Csernoch – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
The impact of cognitive biases, particularly biased self-assessment, on learning outcomes and decision-making in higher education is of great significance. This study delves into the confluence of cognitive biases and user experience in spreadsheet programming as a crucial IT skill across various academic disciplines. Through a quantitative…

Ng, Oi-Lam; Leung, Allen; Ye, Huiyan – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2023
Programming is an interdisciplinary practice with applications in both mathematics and computer science. Mathematics concerns rigor, abstraction, and generalization. Computer science predominantly concerns efficiency, concreteness, and physicality. This makes programming a medium for problem solving that mediates between mathematics and computer…

Benjamin B. Hoar; Roshini Ramachandran; Marc Levis-Fitzgerald; Erin M. Sparck; Ke Wu; Chong Liu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
In education, space exists for a tool that valorizes generic student course evaluation formats by organizing and recapitulating students' views on the pedagogical practices to which they are exposed. Often, student opinions about a course are gathered using a general comment section that does not solicit feedback concerning specific course…

Prasad, Archana; Lal, P.; Wolde, B.; Zhu, M.; Samanthula, B. K.; Panorkou, N. – Journal of STEM Outreach, 2022
Out-of-classroom activities can help cultivate interest and literacy in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects. To determine how a week-long out-of-classroom experience might impact STEM interest in adolescents, a free summer camp was offered to students entering grades 6-8. During this time, students participated in…

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…

Weng, Xiaojing; Ng, Oi-Lam; Cui, Zhihao; Leung, Suzannie – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Creativity, one of the cornerstones of students' 21st-century skills, is regarded as an important learning outcome of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education. Meanwhile, problem-based digital making (DM), which combines the child-friendly programming activities of DM with problem-solving elements, is an emerging…

Maruyama, Ryoga; Ogata, Shinpei; Kayama, Mizue; Tachi, Nobuyuki; Nagai, Takashi; Taguchi, Naomi – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2022
This study aims to explore an educational learning environment that supports students to learn conceptual modelling with the unified modelling language (UML). In this study, we call the describing models "UML programming." In this paper, we show an educational UML programming environment for science, technology, engineering, art, and…
