The purpose of this poster presentation is to demonstrate how we can bring art into computational thinking and computer programming spaces. Op-Artist Bridget Riley used geometrical shapes and patterns to express motion across the canvas. The example of ...

Studies show that both test anxiety (TA) and self-efficacy (SE) have an impact on academic performance and that different students experience TA at different levels. For example, TA has consistently been shown to be higher and SE to be lower for women ...

Computer science students often perceive programming errors as weaknesses rather than learning opportunities, resulting in frustration, anxiety, and dropout. This study investigates how early programming errors can contribute to students' subsequent ...

Teachers serve an invaluable role in facilitating student understanding of AI and awareness of related careers. Our understanding of teacher self-efficacy and careers awareness in the context of the growing field of AI education is limited. We adapted ...

This poster describes our approach to providing automated feedback for formative exercises in an introductory programming module that uses a creative coding approach. A challenge for automating feedback in creative coding is that automation often ...

Finding professional employment continues to challenge a minority of computing graduates, with graduate unemployment and underemployment being higher than ideal in many jurisdictions worldwide. Exploring the viewpoints of recently appointed Computing ...

We present CYBATHLON @school, which aims to foster interest in STEM subjects among primary school students and promote empathy for people with disabilities. The initiative, in collaboration with various educational institutions, has developed three ...

The skills and qualifications of IT professionals are constantly changing and under discussion. In particular, we see the impact of emerging technologies and tools, such as AI, on the labor market and their reflection in the broader scientific community, ...

We explore the use of educational escape rooms (EER) in computer science (CS) courses, drawing insights from recent studies. A framework for implementing them as assessment tools is proposed, aligning activities with active learning, curriculum and ...

Educators face the continuous challenge of updating their teaching materials with the fast-paced changes in cybersecurity and integrating emerging topics into their existing content. This work presents the development progress of a cybersecurity ...

It is a challenge to replace traditional, lecturer-centered teaching structures with learner-centered ones that adapt dynamically to different requirements. With this poster, we present our experiences in the transition from rigid instructor-centered to ...

In this study, we applied STEM approach to teach high school students Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) concepts with an air quality example. The learning activities include assembling IoT devices for air quality detection, ...

While storytelling has been adopted in other science disciplines to support diversity and improve learning outcomes, it has not been broadly explored in computing. To begin to bridge this gap, we investigated whether storytelling videos help students ...

Self-efficacy has been claimed to be a predictor of students' motivation and learning [1]. It has been found to be sensitive to students' success, and to affect their academic achievement. In the CS/IT education context, where the drop rates are high, it ...

The Traffic Light CPU is an original project sequence for computer science students in a Computer Organization course. Students design, construct, and program a processor that controls a traffic light, both in a circuit simulator and on a breadboard ...

Fluency is a term commonly used to express proficiency within a specific area, often languages. However, it is sometimes also used in programming. In this poster, we present a phenomenographic study to investigate how CS students understand the term.

Recent years have seen growing awareness of the need to advance AI literacy for K-12 students to empower them in understanding, evaluating, and using AI. Automated problem solving is a fundamental aspect of AI, enabling machines to mimic human ...

Introducing students to new concepts in computer science can often be challenging, as these concepts may differ significantly from their existing knowledge and conceptual understanding. To address this, we employed analogies to help students connect new ...

The interaction of computing and society, the requirement for ethical development and use of computing technology, and the responsibility our profession has to society, have never been greater. This poster provides an in-depth picture of how the "Society,...

In this poster we propose an approach to designing auto-graded programming course projects that are modular and easily manageable by an instructor. Based on our experiences with the Sail() platform which supports auto-grading and feedback generation in ...

This work reports on a pilot study that examines the impact of production quality of coding demonstration videos on student learning. With an increase in demand for asynchronous content, many instructors are finding the scripting and development of ...

Undergraduate computing students spend a great deal of time developing the programming skills needed to begin a professional career. Much of that learning centers on single programs that are no more than a few thousand lines of code. Many students have ...

Promoting active learning is challenging in large computing courses, often with hundreds of students. We present insights from a pedagogical strategy we designed to foster college Computer Science (CS) students' learning in a large introductory course on ...

Community Colleges provide a variety of academic and terminal degrees, such as associates in applied science and certificates of completion. Data Science is considered an emerging computing area that spans many areas of study and impacts academics and ...

Our motivation is to present how to transfer from real environment mobility designed for many Erasmus+ projects into online events and come back to a real-time event once again. The second point is how to strengthen the real-time approach with the ...

Part of computer science disciplines, software engineering (SE) is concerned with the software lifecycle and the rigorous methods and processes required for designing, implementing, modifying and maintaining high-quality software systems. Project-based ...

The eCoal, GGULIVRR@Lodz, and Citizen Games are examples of the international, intensive, and multidisciplinary projects in multimedia and games led by French and Polish Universities. Apart from supporting technical skills in mobile and web development, ...

This research has three prongs, with each comparing open- and closed-book exam questions across six years (2017-2023) in a final year undergraduate applied machine learning course. First, the authors evaluated the performance of numerous LLMs, compared ...

In 2024, the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) in Ireland released a draft curriculum which intends to introduce Digital Technology (DT) into the Primary School Curriculum. While this is a positive step in terms of Computer Science ...
