This study aims to advocate that a visual programming environment offering graphical items
and states of a computational problem could be helpful in supporting programming learning …

ABSTRACT Background and Context: There are studies which indicate that computer
programming supports high-level abilities for everyone such as creative thinking …

The purpose of this study was to determine the skill levels of secondary school students
regarding computational thinking, programming self-efficacy and reflective thinking aimed at …

In this study, we investigated the debugging process that early childhood preservice
teachers used during block-based programing. Its purpose was to provide insights into how …

The aim of this research is to determine the effects and experiences of the use of digital story
design activities in teaching applications of programming on academic achievement …

Despite decades of literature calling for research on teaching debugging, we still lack clear
guidelines on how to teach debugging processes effectively. This is a significant problem as …

Debugging is a core skill required by programmers, yet we know little about how to
effectively teach the process of debugging. The challenges of learning debugging are …

Verbal data from think-aloud is uniquely unobtrusive and non-reactive. It can therefore
generate real-time insight into how expert teachers think. Our paper analyses data from two …

In 2013, the ChildProgramming methodology was presented as a model for teaching
programming to groups of children between 10 and 12 years old, applying collaborative …

Using robotics and programming, this study investigated the effects of different levels of
embodied instruction on the problem-solving, debugging, programming proficiency, self …
