Two studies investigated change in computer science (CS) students' implicit intelligence beliefs. Across both studies, we found that the strength of incremental and entity beliefs changed across time. In Study 1, we found that incremental beliefs decreased and entity beliefs increased across the semester. Change in implicit intelligence beliefs…

Wang, Shiyuan; Shell, Duane F.; Flanigan, Abraham; Peteranetz, Markeya; Soh, Leen-Kiat – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
The purpose of the present study was to investigate how inclusion of computational creativity exercises (CCE) based on Epstein's Generativity Theory (1996, 2005; Epstein, Schmidt, & Warel, 2008) in post-secondary computer science [CS] courses affected students' class grades, learning of computational thinking and CS knowledge, self-efficacy,…

Peteranetz, Markeya S.; Flanigan, Abraham E.; Shell, Duane F.; Soh, Leen-Kiat – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2018
Contribution: This paper provides evidence that computational creativity exercises (CCEs) can increase engineering students' learning in introductory computer science (CS1) courses. Its main contribution is its more rigorous treatment/control group research design that allows testing for causal influences of CCEs on student learning and…

Nelson, Katherine G.; Shell, Duane F.; Husman, Jenefer; Fishman, Evan J.; Soh, Leen-Kiat – Journal of Engineering Education, 2015
Background: Technical, nonengineering required courses taken at the onset of an engineering degree provide students a foundation for engineering coursework. Students who perform poorly in these foundational courses, even in those tailored to engineering, typically have limited success in engineering. A profile approach may explain why these…

Peteranetz, Markeya S.; Flanigan, Abraham E.; Shell, Duane F.; Soh, Leen-Kiat – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2017
Computational thinking and creative thinking are valuable tools both within and outside of computer science (CS). The goal of the project discussed here is to increase students' achievement in CS courses through a series of computational creativity exercises (CCEs). In this paper, the framework of CCEs is described, and the results of two separate…

Shell, Duane F.; Soh, Leen-Kiat – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2013
The goal of the present study was to utilize a profiling approach to understand differences in motivation and strategic self-regulation among post-secondary STEM students in major versus required non-major computer science courses. Participants were 233 students from required introductory computer science courses (194 men; 35 women; 4 unknown) at…
