Technological advancements, particularly in artificial intelligence, significantly transform our society and work practices. Computational thinking (CT) has emerged as a crucial 21st-century skill, enabling individuals to solve problems more effectively through an automation-oriented perspective and fundamental concepts of computer science. To…

Direct linkGasparinatou, Alexandra; Grigoriadou, Maria – Educational Psychology, 2013
In this study, we examine the effect of background knowledge and local cohesion on learning from texts. The study is based on construction-integration model. Participants were 176 undergraduate students who read a Computer Science text. Half of the participants read a text of maximum local cohesion and the other a text of minimum local cohesion.…

Bryfczynski, Samuel Paul – ProQuest LLC, 2012
This dissertation describes a novel intelligent tutoring system, BeSocratic, which aims to help fill the gap between simple multiple-choice systems and free-response systems. BeSocratic focuses on targeting questions that are free-form in nature yet defined to the point which allows for automatic evaluation and analysis. The system includes a set…

Tekinarslan, Erkan – Journal of Information Technology Education: Research, 2013
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of screencasts on the Turkish undergraduate students' achievement and knowledge acquisitions in spreadsheet applications. The methodology of the study is based on a pretest-posttest experimental design with a control group. A total of 66 undergraduate students in two groups (n = 33 in…

Luxton-Reilly, Andrew; Denny, Paul – Computer Science Education, 2010
We present an innovative pedagogical approach that we call "constructive evaluation," which shifts students from being consumers of knowledge to participants in a community of peers engaged in actively producing and sharing knowledge. Students are required to author a question that assesses one or more of the learning outcomes of a course. In…

Ko, C. C.; Cheng, C. D. – Computers & Education, 2008
Electronic examination systems, which include Internet-based system, require extremely complicated installation, configuration and maintenance of software as well as hardware. In this paper, we present the design and development of a flexible, easy-to-use and secure examination system (e-Test), in which any commonly used computer can be used as a…

Wainer, Howard; And Others – 1993
The relationship between the multiple-choice and free-response sections of the Computer Science and Chemistry tests of the College Board's Advanced Placement program was studied. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the free-response sections measure the same underlying proficiency as the multiple-choice sections for the most part. However,…

Peer reviewedBennett, Randy Elliot; And Others – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1990
The relationship of an expert-system-scored constrained free-response item type to multiple-choice and free-response items was studied using data for 614 students on the College Board's Advanced Placement Computer Science (APCS) Examination. Implications for testing and the APCS test are discussed. (SLD)

Peer reviewedThissen, David; And Others – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1994
Restricted factor analysis shows that the multiple-choice and free-response sections of the Computer Science and Chemistry Advanced Placement examinations (College Board) measure the same proficiencies for the most part. There is a small degree of multidimensionality because of local dependence among free-response items. (SLD)

Bennett, Randy Elliot; And Others – 1989
This study examined the relationship of a machine-scorable, constrained free-response computer science item that required the student to debug a faulty program to two other types of items: multiple-choice and free-response requiring production of a computer program. The free-response items were from the College Board's Advanced Placement Computer…

Peer reviewedBennett, Randy Elliot; And Others – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1991
The relationship of multiple-choice and free-response items on the College Board's Advanced Placement Computer Science Examination was studied using confirmatory factor analysis. Results with 2 samples of 1,000 high school students suggested that the most parsimonious fit was achieved using a single factor. Implications for construct validity are…

Egan, Colin; Jefferies, Amanda; Johal, Jason – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2006
This paper describes a mechanism developed by the authors to gather student feedback from formative revision Multiple Choice Questionnaires (MCQs) within an on-line learning system. The MCQs provided first year Computer Science students with instant formative feedback, while data was also gathered about student responses, such as the percentage…

Lippey, Gerald, Ed. – 1974
The purpose of this book is to document in detail the benefits which can be realized by computer-assisted test construction and to aid educators interested in taking advantage of computers in providing tests and exercises. An overview of all the benefits and problems of computer-assisted test construction is given. Then separate chapters are…
