This paper aimed at constructing a systematic framework and examining the effect of
gamification in programming education through a meta-analysis conducted on 21 empirical …

Empirical evidence suggests the effectiveness of robotics as a learning complementary tool
in tertiary education. In this context, some experiences benefited from the link between …

The use of educational robotics for programming education has been shown to be effective
in fostering students' computational thinking (CT) skills. However, physical educational …

We report a research project with a purpose of helping teachers learn how to design and
implement science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) lessons using …

Although there is a growing interest in learning to program, the number of women involved
in programming remains surprisingly low. We don't understand completely the causes but it …

This paper presents an integrative standards-based STEM curriculum that uses robots to
develop students' computational thinking. The need for the project is rooted in both the …

Research in computing education has been criticized as" Marco Polo," eg, the researchers
tried something and reported what happened. Our developing field needs more hypothesis …

Student attitudes play an important role in shaping learning experiences. However, few
validated instruments exist for measuring student attitude development in a discipline …

There has recently been a renewed interest in integrating programming into the curriculum
of primary education, partly due to the availability of the visual programming environment …

Computing has, for many years, been one of the least demographically diverse STEM fields,
particularly in terms of women's participation [12, 36]. The last decade has seen a …
