The research utilized the descriptive survey model, a quantitative research method, with a study group consisting of 172 social studies teacher candidates (131 females, 41 males). As data collection tools in the study, the Cyberculture Adoption/Development Level Scale developed by Koçak (2019) and the global citizenship scale (Global Citizenship…

Background and Context: Computer Science has traditionally had poor student retention, especially among women. Prior work has found that student attitudes are a key factor to retention, especially with "weedout" courses such as Calculus. Objective: To determine how student attitudes towards CS 1 and Calculus change over active-learning…

This study examines the underpinnings of Japan's "programming education" in elementary school music, officially implemented nationwide in 2020. Through that reform, which has introduced "programming thinking" (a local version of computational thinking) in all areas of compulsory education, the country follows the international…

Higher institutions are increasingly embracing the use of computer technologies in advancing education. Despite evidence pointing to the positive impact of computer technologies on teaching and learning, systematic research study on the role of teachers' competencies in computer technologies integration is still not saturated in literature.…

Background: Collaboration is a crucial concept in learning and has the potential to foster learning. However, the fact that collaborative groups act with a common understanding in a common task brings many difficulties. Therefore, there is a need for group regulation and guidance to support effective group regulation in collaborative learning. On…

For effective teamwork, especially in demanding learning situations like a hackathon, coordination is crucial as it contributes to mutual trust and shared mental models of team members. However, teams experience challenges that mar team coordination. Research has shown that interpersonal skills such as socially-shared emotion regulation (SSER) can…

Teaching programming is a topic that has generated a high level of interest among researchers in recent decades. In particular, multiple approaches to teaching visual programming have been explored, from the use of tools such as Scratch, robots, unplugged programming, or activities for the development of computational thinking. Despite the wide…

The purpose of this research was to analyze the confirmatory components of the computational thinking learning competency measurement model. The sample group consisted of 240 students in the Bachelor of Education Program in Computer and Digital Technology for Education in Years 2-4 of five of the Rattanakosin Rajabhat Universities. Data collection…

The paper discusses an alternative method of assessing the difficulty of pupils' programming tasks to determine their age appropriateness. Building a program takes the form of its successive iterations. Thus, it is possible to monitor the number of times such a program was built by the solver. The variance of the number of program builds can be…

Brightpoint's HyFlex Pilot Program was a year-long project funded by the Online Virginia Network (OVN) to support faculty in the design and delivery of an actual HyFlex course. The cohort consisted of faculty who teach in the biology, architecture, early childhood, and web design disciplines. Participants worked in collaboration with one another…

When incorporating programming into a statistics course, there are many pedagogical considerations. In R, one consideration is the particular R syntax used. This article reports on a head-to-head comparison of a pair of introductory statistics labs, one conducted in the formula syntax, the other in tidyverse. Pre- and post-surveys show minimal…

In recent years, online educational platforms have become an increasingly popular tool for delivering online learning experiences. One such platform is the Tunisian educational platform provided by the Virtual University of Tunis. The acceptance and adoption of these platforms by students are crucial for their successful integration into the…

From September 2023 to March 2024, Faculty AI, the National Institute of Teaching (NIoT) and ImpactEd Group (representing the AI in Schools Initiative) have worked with the Department for Education (DfE) to deliver the Use Cases for Generative Artificial Intelligence in Education project. The project explored potential applications for Generative…

In online education, it is widely recognized that interaction and engagement have an impact on students' academic performance. While previous research has extensively explored interactions between students, instructors, and content, there has been limited exploration of course design elements that promote the fourth type of interaction:…

Interdisciplinarity has been touted as a means to recruit more racially and gender-diverse students to computing. In this explanatory sequential mixed-methods study, we investigated demographic characteristics among a sample of undergraduate students pursuing interdisciplinary computing major and minor combinations at 15 institutions in the United…
