Anna Rechtácková; Radek Pelánek; Tomáš Effenberger – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
Code quality is a critical aspect of programming, as high-quality code is easier to maintain, and code maintenance constitutes the majority of software costs. Consequently, code quality should be emphasized in programming education. While previous research has identified numerous code quality defects commonly made by students, the current state…

Leonard J. Mselle – Discover Education, 2025
In this paper the "Memory Transfer Language" program visualization (MTL PV) technique is combined with "constructivism" ("conceptual contraposition and colloquy") and "reversibility" to evolve a new approach for instructional design for teaching and learning introductory programming. A sample of 1,364…

Rahel Schmid; Robbert Smit; Nicolas Robin; Alexander Strahl – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2025
Background: Students make many errors in visual programming. In order to learn from these, it is important that students regulate their emotions and view errors as learning opportunities. Aims: This study aimed to explore to what extent momentary emotions, specifically enjoyment, anxiety and boredom, as well as the error learning orientation of…

Iria Estévez-Ayres; Patricia Callejo; Miguel Ángel Hombrados-Herrera; Carlos Alario-Hoyos; Carlos Delgado Kloos – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2025
The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) has marked a significant change in education. The appearance of these LLMs and their associated chatbots has yielded several advantages for both students and educators, including their use as teaching assistants for content creation or summarisation. This paper aims to evaluate the capacity of LLMs…
