Digital literacy is considered to be crucial for social and professional participation. Hence, several projects have been launched in school, as well as extracurricular activities to promote digital literacy in middle school. They aim, among other things, ...

This study innovates English network teaching by applying a refined Association Rule Mining (ARM) algorithm. It integrates an “interest” parameter into ARM, dynamically adapting content to individual learners' profiles, improving engagement and outcomes. ...

Refactoring is the most prominent way of repaying Technical Debt and improving software maintainability. Despite the acknowledgement of refactorings as a state-of-practice technique (both by industry and academia), refactoring-based quality ...

A source of intrinsic motivation, interest in learning motivates students to pursue their goals and has a positive effect on their academic performance. The rapid global spread of the COVID-19 virus has presented a difficult issue for the education ...

The metaverse has caught the imagination and investments of many. However, in developing countries, the metaverse may raise more questions, than answers. As such, this study aims to investigate first, student-designers’ perceptions towards what ...

Some students’ expectations and points of view related to the Artificial Intelligence course are explored and analyzed in this study. We anonymous collected answers from 58 undergraduate students out of 200 enrolled in the Computer Science ...

Refactorings constitute the most direct and comprehensible ap-proach for addressing software quality issues, stemming directly from identified code smells. Nevertheless, despite their popularity in both the research and industrial communities: (a) the ...

Computational thinking is increasingly introduced at primary school level, usually with some form of programming activity. In particular, educational robots provide an opportunity for engaging students with programming through hands-on experiences. ...

In our increasingly digitalized society, it is important to have a grasp of basic programming and therefore, programming was recently made mandatory in Swedish schools. We investigated how the mandatory programming education affects self-efficacy ...

• Studied the effects of mandatory programming teaching on children's (age 12) self-efficacy and interest in programming.
• The programming education increased the children's self-efficacy for programming, but interest in programming ...

Educational stakeholders want to understand and overcome the well-documented racial and gender disparities within computer science education. There are many factors that influence students’ participation, performance, and persistence in CS courses, ...

As a cognitive and affective state, interest promotes engagement, facilitates self-regulated learning, and is positively associated with learning outcomes. Research has shown that interest interacts with prior knowledge, but few studies have ...

This study investigated the resource management plan as a group coordination strategy that encompasses the technology resources, the human IT resources, and the organizational resources, to accomplish a successful information system project. To obtain ...

The present paper examined the effect of adjusting learning material to the out-of-school interests of students. In particular, using a field experiment involving 1449 secondary school students in 31 Flemish schools, we evaluated the ...

• Field experiment involving 1449 students in 31 schools.
• Effect of adjusting ...

This study examined the effect of using computer simulation on students’ interest in algebra. A quasi-experimental design was employed. A sample of fifty-four students (age range: 12-14years old) drawn from two schools constituted the subjects for ...

There are significant participation gaps in computing, and the way to address these participation gaps lies not simply in getting students from underrepresented groups into a CS1 classroom, but supporting students to pursue their interest in computing ...

Since the presentation is a one-sided communication, it is difficult to realize an interactive communication while grasping the behavior of the audience. Therefore, a method that conveys audience’s actions and affects such as interest and concern ...

The COVID-19 pandemic induced a radical shift from face-to-face lectures to online learning in university mathematics instruction, which confronted students with a high self-regulatory demand. We investigated the role of students' ...

• Students clustered into two groups differing in mathematics related interest, anxiety, self-concept, and work ethics.

Conversation practice, while paramount for all language learners, can be difficult to get enough of and very expensive. In this mobile age, chatbots are an obvious means of filling this gap, but have yet to realize their potential as ...

• Students' experiences with chatbots as language learning partners was assessed.

The probability or propensity of participation or Internet users (individuals) shapes the evolutionary dynamics and final outcomes of online collective actions. This paper investigates the structural factors and the aggregate kernel ...

• The Propensity has three structural factors such as Interest, Rule, and Moral.
• ...

Can we model and estimate interest? In general, when an individual engages with an object, say Facebook, Instagram, a Mobile game, or anything else, we know that there is some interest that the person has in the object. However, we do not have a ...
