Abstract

To meet the ever-increasing demand for information technology (IT) workforce, we must educate and produce high-quality graduates. It is crucial to balance fundamental programming concepts and coding skills to develop skilled IT work forces who solve a complicated real-life problem using technology. In this project, we created scenario-based active learning modules by using a visual platform to improve student learning on programming concepts and skills.

Teacher Self-efficacy During Professional Development for Game Design and Unity
SIGCSE 2022: Proceedings of the 53rd ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education V. 2

Teacher self-efficacy (SE) has been observed to be an 'important construct for Computer Science (CS) teachers' professional development because it can predict both teaching behaviors as well as student outcomes" [1]. The purpose of the present study was ...

Comparing loops misconceptions in block-based and text-based programming languages at the K-12 level

Novice programmers are facing many difficulties while learning to program. Most studies about misconceptions in programming are conducted at the undergraduate level, yet there is a lack of studies at the elementary school (K-12) level, reasonably ...
