Saito, Daisuke; Kaieda, Shota; Washizaki, Hironori; Fukazawa, Yoshiaki – Journal of Information Technology Education: Innovations in Practice, 2020
Aim/Purpose: Although many computer science measures have been proposed, visualizing individual students' capabilities is difficult, as those measures often rely on specific tools and methods or are not graded. To solve these problems, we propose a rubric for measuring and visualizing the effects of learning computer programming for elementary…

Disbudak, Ozge; Akyuz, Didem – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2019
Concrete manipulatives and dynamic geometry software (DGS) are both commonly used for geometry education in elementary and middle schools. This study sets out to understand which of the two approaches was better in improving the conceptual understanding of quadrilaterals for fifth graders. A pre-/post-test design was conducted in which the same…

Donnelly, Dermot F.; Vitale, Jonathan M.; Linn, Marcia C. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2015
Middle school students struggle to explain thermodynamics concepts. In this study, to help students succeed, we use a natural language processing program to analyze their essays explaining the aspects of thermodynamics and provide guidance based on the automated score. The 346 sixth-grade students were assigned to either the critique condition…
