"I remember how to do it": exploring upper elementary students' collaborative regulation while pair programming using epistemic network analysis

Vandenberg, J., Lynch, C., Boyer, K. E., & Wiebe, E. (2022, March 11). COMPUTER SCIENCE EDUCATION, Vol. 3.

By: J. Vandenberg n, C. Lynch n, K. Boyer* & E. Wiebe n

author keywords: Elementary school; pair programming; attitudes; self-efficacy; academic regulation
TL;DR: It is suggested that upper elementary students learn about productive disagreement and how to peer model and a range of ways the dyads’ self-efficacy and CS conceptual understanding affected their collaborative and regulated discourse. (via Semantic Scholar)

Prompting collaborative and exploratory discourse: An epistemic network analysis study

Vandenberg, J., Zakaria, Z., Tsan, J., Iwanski, A., Lynch, C., Boyer, K. E., & Wiebe, E. (2021, August 7). INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTER-SUPPORTED COLLABORATIVE LEARNING, Vol. 8.
