Sequential Behavior Analysis of Interdisciplinary Activities in Computational Thinking and EFL Learning With Game-Based Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hsu, Ting-Chia; Chang, Ching; Liang, Yi-Sian – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
The study explores the effects of an interdisciplinary learning approach on developing students' English learning (EL) and computational thinking (CT) through two different game-based learning approaches. A quasi-experiment is conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach in terms of enhancing students' CT knowledge and their EL…

Learning Computational Thinking without a Computer: How Computational Participation Happens in a Computational Thinking Board Game
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kuo, Wei-Chen; Hsu, Ting-Chia – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2020
This study utilized unplugged computational thinking learning material named Robot City as the instructional material. The board game corresponds to structural programming, including sequential structure, conditional structure, repetitive structure, and the modeling concept of calling a procedure in programming languages. According to the…

Self-Monitoring of On-Task Behaviors Using the MotivAider® by a Middle School Student with a Moderate Intellectual Disability
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Boswell, M. Alison; Knight, Victoria; Spriggs, Amy D. – Rural Special Education Quarterly, 2013
This investigation used an ABAB withdrawal design to determine the effect of self-monitoring using the MotivAider® (MotivAider, 2000) on percentage of intervals of on-task behavior by an 11-year old male with a moderate intellectual disability who attended a rural middle school. The MotivAider® is a small device, the size of a pager, which can be…

Some Observations of Seventh Graders Solving Problems.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Garofalo, Joe; And Others – Arithmetic Teacher, 1989
Reports examples of the behaviors, including kinetic and vocal, used to facilitate problem-solving based on observations of four seventh-grade students. Discusses the use of the behaviors in problem-solving teaching. (YP)

Schmidt, Hans-Jurgen – 1988
This study assumes that multiple choice test items generally provide the testee with several solutions, one of which is correct and the others of which are wrong. If pupils are unable to answer a question, one would expect that the wrong choices have equal chances of being selected. In many multiple choice items on stoichiometric calculation which…
