Dan Sun; Fan Ouyang; Yan Li; Chengcong Zhu; Yang Zhou – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: With the development of computational literacy, there has been a surge in both research and practice application of text-based and block-based modalities within the field of computer programming education. Despite this trend, little work has actually examined how learners engaging in programming process when utilizing these two major…

Israel-Fishelson, Rotem; Hershkovitz, Arnon; Eguíluz, Andoni; Garaizar, Pablo; Guenaga, Mariluz – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Computational Thinking (CT) and creativity are considered two vital skills for the 21st century that should be incorporated into future curricula around the world. We studied the relationship between these two constructs while focusing on learners' personal characteristics. Two types of creativity were examined: creative thinking and computational…

Israel-Fishelson, Rotem; Hershkovitz, Arnon; Eguíluz, Andoni; Garaizar, Pablo; Guenaga, Mariluz – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Creativity and Computational Thinking (CT) have been both extensively researched in recent years. However, the associations between them are still not fully understood despite their recognition as essential competencies for the digital age. This study looks to bridge this gap by examining the association between CT and two types of creativity,…

Grover, Shuchi; Basu, Satabdi; Bienkowski, Marie; Eagle, Michael; Diana, Nicholas; Stamper, John – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2017
Systematic endeavors to take computer science (CS) and computational thinking (CT) to scale in middle and high school classrooms are underway with curricula that emphasize the enactment of authentic CT skills, especially in the context of programming in block-based programming environments. There is, therefore, a growing need to measure students'…

Qian, Yizhou; Lehman, James – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2020
This study implemented a data-driven approach to identify Chinese high school students' common errors in a Java-based introductory programming course using the data in an automated assessment tool called the Mulberry. Students' error-related behaviors were also analyzed, and their relationships to success in introductory programming were…

Emara, Mona; Hutchins, Nicole M.; Grover, Shuchi; Snyder, Caitlin; Biswas, Gautam – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2021
The integration of computational modelling in science classrooms provides a unique opportunity to promote key 21st century skills including computational thinking (CT) and collaboration. The open-ended, problem-solving nature of the task requires groups to grapple with the combination of two domains (science and computing) as they collaboratively…

Edwards, John; Hart, Kaden; Shrestha, Raj – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2023
Analysis of programming process data has become popular in computing education research and educational data mining in the last decade. This type of data is quantitative, often of high temporal resolution, and it can be collected non-intrusively while the student is in a natural setting. Many levels of granularity can be obtained, such as…
