Moderated multiple regression (MMR) has become a fundamental tool for applied researchers, since many effects are expected to vary based on other variables. However, the inherent complexity of MMR creates formidable challenges for adequately performing power analysis on interaction effects to ensure reliable and replicable research results. Prior…

Programming education often imposes a high cognitive burden on novice programmers, requiring them to master syntax, logic, and problem-solving while simultaneously managing debugging tasks. Prior knowledge is a critical factor influencing programming learning performance. A lack of foundational knowledge limits students' self-regulated learning…
