In the context of programming education, programming clubs serve as an innovative non-formal environment that supplements traditional classroom instruction. However, the practices within these non-formal learning environments and their impact on ...

In the context of educational equity and social participation in the modern technological world, future skills, including problem-solving, are increasingly important for children. Consequently, various projects have developed learning opportunities in ...

The use and adoption of Generative AI (GenAI) has revolutionised various sectors, including computing education. However, this narrow focus comes at a cost to the wider AI in and for educational research. This working group aims to explore current trends ...

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) become more and more ubiquitous in everyone’s everyday life, students will hold certain conceptions of these phenomena, as recent studies show. Some of these conceptions may be beneficial, while ...

Enhancing school mathematics with Computational Thinking (CT) and programming might be beneficial to student learning in both the fields of computing and mathematics. This doctoral research project aims to explore and enhance the integration of ...

This study investigates the prevalence of programming misconceptions among primary school students using the Programming Misconception Assessment Tool (ProMAT). The ProMAT was designed to measure programming misconceptions in two educational programming ...

Computer science education is expanding rapidly on a global scale, emphasizing the importance of addressing the barriers created by the dominance of English in programming languages to ensure accessible programming resources and support for non-English ...

This paper introduces the explanatory model approach to address challenges in computing education arising from rapid technological developments and paradigm shifts, particularly regarding artificial intelligence and machine learning. Traditional ...

Providing individualized support to students during debugging is a huge challenge for teachers in K-12 computing education. In these everyday assessment situations, they often have little time to gather relevant information to diagnose the student’...

Introduction: Computer science (CS) lacks representation from people who identify as one or more of the following identities: woman, Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, Latina/Latino/Latinx, or disabled. We refer to these groups as historically underrepresented ...

The use of computational technology is common in K-12 education. Existing work on the use of technology have often focused on experiments without considering the educator’s viewpoint. Yet, educators are those who deal directly with the student and ...

The Indian National Education Policy 2020 advocates the introduction of Computational Thinking (CT) and coding in school, and the National Curriculum Framework 2023 follows through on this. Undoubtedly, given the scale of this effort (reaching a ...

Blind and low-vision (BLV) youth have been excluded from technology-mediated learning in school for two decades due to the systemic inaccessibility of K-12 instructional technologies. Accessibility guidelines that address BLV youth’s needs would help ...

The landscape of education research and practice is undergoing significant socio-political transformation, driven by evolving heightened awareness and perceptions of what is meant through efforts to ensure that all students benefit from education. This ...

The Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) K-12 Standards were last updated in 2017, when only six states in the United States had adopted learning standards for primary and secondary education (K-12) computer science. Fast forward to 2024, and 41 ...

Cryptography and data representation are computing topics that are included in many secondary school computing curricula. There is a wealth of learning objectives and associated tasks in the form of puzzles, small visualisations and experiments to ...

This article presents research conducted within the School of Computational Thinking and Artificial Intelligence (EPCIA in its original form in Spanish) project, an initiative developed by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Vocational Training during ...

Although computing is increasingly taught to K–5 students, females and certain ethnic groups are underrepresented in examinations and careers. Disparities have been attributed to students feeling a disconnect between their identities and the computing ...

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in exploring the capabilities of AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT. Studies have investigated diverse applications, including the response of AI chatbots to undergraduate exam questions and the generation of ...

AI is omnipresent in our daily lives. It is, therefore, crucial that students acquire necessary competencies as part of their CS education in order to be able to use and develop this technology responsibly. However, this growing need has hit the ...
