The Right Kind of Help: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Feedback Methods in Elementary-Level Visual Programming
Ahana Ghosh, Liina Malva, Alkis Gotovos +2
We present a large-scale study comparing the effectiveness of various feedback methods in elementary-level programming. While prior work has explored different feedback methods, th…
Interleaving Natural Language Prompting with Code Editing for Solving Programming Tasks with Generative AI Models
Victor-Alexandru Pădurean, Alkis Gotovos, Ahana Ghosh +5
Modern computing students often rely on both natural-language prompting and manual code editing to solve programming tasks. Yet we still lack a clear understanding of how these two…
Exploring the Impact of Quizzes Interleaved with Write-Code Tasks in Elementary-Level Visual Programming
Ahana Ghosh, Liina Malva, Alkis Gotovos +2
We explore the role of quizzes in elementary visual programming domains popularly used for K-8 computing education. Prior work has studied various quiz types, such as fill-in-the-g…
Analyzing-Evaluating-Creating: Assessing Computational Thinking and Problem Solving in Visual Programming Domains
Ahana Ghosh, Liina Malva, Adish Singla
Computational thinking (CT) and problem-solving skills are increasingly integrated into K-8 school curricula worldwide. Consequently, there is a growing need to develop reliable as…
Synthesizing Tasks for Block-based Programming
Umair Z. Ahmed, Maria Christakis, Aleksandr Efremov +4
Block-based visual programming environments play a critical role in introducing computing concepts to K-12 students. One of the key pedagogical challenges in these environments is…
