Computer Education

Using games to teach introductory computing courses provides another context with which to exploring the possible attraction, retention, and education of a new generation of computer science (CS) students. At Bryn Mawr College, we have been actively exploring these contexts and have identified four that have great promise for use in teaching introductory computing courses: visualization, multimedia, robotics, and, most recently, games. We are currently using and analysing robots and have some preliminary results. ...

This paper reports the history of a 10 year ethnographic field study of older people attending a computer training program in Brisbane, Australia at a community healthy ageing program between 2002 and 2012. It is intended as a supplement to a conference poster at the 2018 Improving the Health of Older People, held in August 2018 in Brisbane. It will discuss two key areas: the project's historical details and the presentation of findings that suggested a qualitative, but not easily describable, sense of well-being arose from attending lessons. Topics discussed are: the history of the project, its lesson conduct, curriculum and demographics, the importance of computer and internet skills education to health, research questions and methods, findings using Grounded Theory analysis methods including the emerge theory about reported states of health of the learners, a discussion of the study's implication, and suggestions for using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and educational tutoring to assist older people in their daily lives.

Abstract The way in which novice programmers learn to write code is of considerable interest to computing education researchers. One research approach to understanding how beginners acquire their programming abilities has been to look at student performance in exams. Lopez et al.(2008) analyzed student responses to an end-of-first-semester exam. They found two types of questions accounted for 46% of the variance on the code writing portion of the same exam. One of those types of question required students to trace ...

Pode-se dizer que praticamente todas as partes da sociedade têm sido atingidas pelosavanços tecnológicos. Estudos em informática na educação demonstram que o computadorpode potencializar o aprendizado em vários aspectos. Entretanto, desenvolver um softwareeducacional (SE) que supra todas as necessidades de uma perspectiva pedagógica, é uma tarefaárdua, tendo em vista que para isto é necessário seguir uma série de etapas para que o mesmoatinja inteiramente seu objetivo. Este artigo apresenta uma metodologia de desenvolvimento desoftware educacional, uma vez que a construção de um SE aborda questões específicas quediferem dos sistemas tradicionais e, portanto, devem ser consideradas em sua concepção.

This paper describes Pyro, a robotics programming environment designed to allow inexperienced undergraduates to explore topics in advanced robotics. Pyro, which stands for Python Robotics, runs on a number of advanced robotics platforms. In addition, programs in Pyro can abstract away low-level details such that individual programs can work unchanged across very different robotics hardware. Results of using Pyro in an undergraduate course are discussed.

In this paper, we use Kansanen's didactic triangle to structure and analyse research on the teaching and learning of programming. Students, teachers and course content are the three entities that form the corners of the didactic triangle. The edges of the triangle represent the relationships between these three entities. We argue that many computing educators and computing education researchers operate from within narrow views of the didactic triangle. For example, computing educators often teach programming based on ...

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to understand the meaning that women make of the social and cultural factors that influence their reasons for entering and remaining in study of computer science.    The twenty-first century presents many new challenges in career development and workforce choices for both men and women.  Information technology has become the driving force behind many areas of the economy.  As this trend continues, it has become essential that U.S. citizens need to pursue a career in technologies, including the computing sciences. Although computer science is a very lucrative profession, many Americans, especially women, are not choosing it as a profession.  Recent studies have shown no significant differences in math, technical and science competency between men and women. Therefore, other factors, such as social, cultural, and environmental influences seem to affect women’s decisions in choosing an area of study and career choices. 
A phenomenological method of qualitative research was used in this study, based on interviews of seven female students who are currently enrolled in a post-secondary computer science program.  Their narratives provided meaning into the social and cultural environments that contribute to their persistence in their technical studies, as well as identifying barriers and challenges that are faced by female students who choose to study computer science.  It is hoped that the data collected from this study may provide recommendations for the recruiting, retention and support for women in computer science departments of U.S. colleges and universities, and thereby increase the numbers of women computer scientists in industry.

ABSTRACT
This research project examines the impact of ICT on students' Academic performance in Public Secondary Schools in Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State. The main objective of the study is to validate and authenticate the impact of ICT on the performance of student through evaluation of different areas where the utilization of ICT can affect teaching and learning process. The research work employ descriptive research methodology while the theoretical/conceptual review of the research topic was vividly carried out. The sample for the study was taken from ten selected public secondary school in the local government using a simple random sampling of respondents' opinion. Primary data was gathered by administration of questionnaires to 80 randomly selected respondents. After careful analysis of the formulated hypothesis using chi-square test, the researcher concluded that ICT has great impact on stududent academic performance. However, findings indicated that there are a poor ICT infastructural development in Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State.

Findings have shown that the major reason why students have low or no competence on the application of e-learning to enhance their academic performance is due to lack of basic adequate infrastructure and well equipped compute laboratories in secondary schools in Educational district IV of Lagos State. Findings also showed that e-learning raises interest and performance of students generally. The study investigated the fundamental reasons for e-learning, the roles of e-learning on academic performance how e-teaching and e-learning can improve the quality of education among selected secondary schools in Educational district, Lagos. The recommendations laid out based on the problem stated is the need for provision of basic adequate infrastructure and well equipped compute laboratories in  secondary schools in the district.

The revolution in education will alter not just the lives of students, but the entirety of modern society; computer is an eminent innovation of twentieth century. Attitude and interest of use computer develop more positive attitude towards computer use for own services. The Main objective of the study was examined the attitude of college students towards computer education. The hypothesis was formulated that the attitude of college students having optional computers is significantly higher than those not having optional computers, for this examine 800 students were to be selected from undergraduate college students for survey. Computer Attitude Scale (2012) developed by Tahira Khatoon & Manika Sharma was used for data collection. Mean, S.D. and t-test statistical techniques were used for interpretation and analysis of data. Major findings: There is significant difference in computer attitude's all dimensions having optional computer subject and having not optional computer subject students. As shown mean value of both group have given; optional computer subject students scored more than having not optional computer subject students of college level, it indicated that optional computer subject students have more computer anxiety compare to having not optional computer subject.
