Investigating the Impact of On-Demand Code Examples on Novices' Open-Ended Programming Projects

PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2023 ACM CONFERENCE ON INTERNATIONAL COMPUTING EDUCATION RESEARCH V.1, ICER 2023 V1, pp. 464–475.

By: W. Wang*, J. Bacher n, A. Isvik n, A. Limke n, S. Sthapit n, Y. Shi n, B. Tabarsi n, K. Tran n ...

author keywords: open-ended programming; code examples; block-based programming; novice programming
TL;DR: It was found that students who had access to all 37 code examples used a significantly larger variety of code APIs, perceived the programming as relatively more creative, but also experienced a higher task load. (via Semantic Scholar)

A Framework for Socially-Relevant Service-Learning Internship Experiences for High School Students

PROCEEDINGS OF THE 53RD ACM TECHNICAL SYMPOSIUM ON COMPUTER SCIENCE EDUCATION (SIGCSE 2022), VOL 1, pp. 815–821.

author keywords: high school internship; tiered-mentoring; service learning
TL;DR: A framework for a university-led high school internship initiative that focuses on service learning, co- design, and the propagation of engaging computing curricula for younger audiences is proposed and the importance of service-learning for recruiting diverse participants and the use of co-design as a way to broker relationships between developers and community stakeholders is reviewed.

Case Studies on the use of Storyboarding by Novice Programmers

PROCEEDINGS OF THE 27TH ACM CONFERENCE ON INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY IN COMPUTER SCIENCE EDUCATION, ITICSE 2022, VOL 1, pp. 318–324.

By: A. Limke n, A. Milliken n, V. Catete n, I. Gransbury n, A. Isvik n, T. Price n, C. Martens n, T. Barnes n

author keywords: block-based programs; open-ended projects; planning; storyboards
TL;DR: This research explores how novice programmers used a custom-built planning tool, PlanIT, contrasted against how they used storyboarding when planning games, illustrating that students felt more creative when storyboarding rather than using PlanIT. (via Semantic Scholar)

Examining Equity in Computing-Infused Lessons Made by Novices

IEEE STCBP RESPECT CONFERENCE: 2021 RESEARCH ON EQUITY AND SUSTAINED PARTICIPATION IN ENGINEERING, COMPUTING, AND TECHNOLOGY (RESPECT), pp. 157–161.

By: A. Isvik n, V. Catete n, E. Elmore n & T. Barnes n

author keywords: equity; curriculum design; equity analysis
TL;DR: Ten computing-infused lessons with high equity scores created by high school interns are examined to determine how meaningful these equity scores are, what themes are present across projects, and to provide curriculum developers with strategies for ensuring their activities utilize equitable practices to be intentionally inclusive of all students.
