The introductory programming disciplines, which include the teaching of algorithms and computational logic, have high failure and dropout rates. Developing Computational Thinking in students can contribute to learning programming fundamentals by building algorithmic and problem-solving skills. However, keeping students engaged in training such…

Drmola, Jakub; Kraus, Josef – Journal of Political Science Education, 2023
The primary goal of this investigation is to systematically explore the relationship among the students' performance, grades, gender, previous experience, and impressions while using "Diplomacy," a strategy game, as an educational tool. The rationale for this research is the existing and commonly expressed concern that such games…

Agbo, Friday Joseph; Oyelere, Solomon Sunday; Suhonen, Jarkko; Tukiainen, Markku – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) has become an essential skill nowadays. For young students, CT competency is required to prepare them for future jobs. This competency can facilitate students' understanding of programming knowledge which has been a challenge for many novices pursuing a computer science degree. This study focuses on designing and…

Lu, Zhuotao; Chiu, Ming M.; Cui, Yunhuo; Mao, Weijie; Lei, Hao – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
This meta-analysis determined game-based learning's (GBL) overall effect on students' computational thinking (CT) and tested for moderators, using 28 effect sizes from 24 studies of 2,134 participants. The random effects model results showed that GBL had a significant positive overall effect on students' CT (g = 0.677, 95% confidence interval…

Bilbao-Quintana, Naiara; López-de-la-Serna, Arantzazu; Romero-Andonegui, Ainara; Tejada-Garitano, Eneko – Online Submission, 2021
Introduction: The term escape room has undergone a notable evolution in recent years, extending its presence to areas not only recreational but also business or educational. The defining traits (overcoming obstacles, problem-solving, teamwork, time management...) have proven to be valid in business and education. This study presents the…

Biswas, Gautam; Rajendran, Ramkumar; Mohammed, Naveeduddin; Goldberg, Benjamin S.; Sottilare, Robert A.; Brawner, Keith; Hoffman, Michael – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2020
Intelligent learning environments can be designed to support the development of learners' cognitive skills, strategies, and metacognitive processes as they work on complex decision-making and problem-solving tasks. However, the complexity of the tasks may impede the progress of novice learners. Providing adaptive feedback to learners who face…

In this paper, we describe the design for PurpleState, an internship simulation that applies the epistemic game model for informed civic learning. PurpleState places students in the role of interns at a political media firm and asks them to design a media campaign on a state level policy issue. Unlike the use of these models in STEM education,…

Many educators face the challenge of engaging students in science and mathematics, often struggling to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts taught in classrooms and their real-world applications. This disconnect can lead to disinterest and disengagement among students, hindering their learning outcomes. "Cases on Informal Learning for…
