Key research themes

1. How do different teaching and assessment methods influence the acquisition and evaluation of coding skills in K-12 and early childhood education?

This theme investigates effective pedagogical approaches for teaching coding to children and adolescents, emphasizing the design of assessments that capture multiple dimensions of coding competence beyond mere syntax, including problem-solving, algorithmic thinking, and creativity. It addresses challenges faced by educators in formative and summative evaluations, learners’ developmental readiness, and the integration of computational thinking into curricula.

Key finding: Through an experimental study involving 13 secondary school teachers assessing code written by fictional students, this paper found that teachers prioritize both technical correctness and pedagogical factors such as code... Read more
Key finding: A controlled within-subjects study demonstrated that students who excelled (>90% accuracy) in solving code-tracing problems exhibited statistically significant improvement in code-writing skills related to program semantics,... Read more
Key finding: Qualitative analysis of 9 Turkish Information Technology teachers revealed intermediate to advanced proficiency with block-based programming but limited competence with physical programming environments. Teachers expressed... Read more
Key finding: This configurative literature review synthesized 34 CT studies, categorizing learning opportunities of coding into three dimensions: functional (operational problem-solving skills), collaborative (interdisciplinary... Read more

2. What competencies and social dynamics affect developer performance and learning in coding tasks, including code review and pair programming?

This theme explores individual and interpersonal factors shaping coding proficiency and collaboration, focusing on how specific competencies and group compatibility influence coding performance, learning efficacy, and social engagement in pair programming and code review contexts. It examines both technical and socio-emotional competencies required for high-quality code review, as well as the impacts of personality traits, prior knowledge, and friendship relations on flow states and productivity in paired coding.

Key finding: By identifying 27 competencies (12 technical, 11 social, 4 personal) relevant to code review, validated via expert interviews and a survey of 105 reviewers, this study revealed that while technical skills are rated as most... Read more
Key finding: A mixed-methods study with 64 university students found that homogeneous pairs with respect to learning styles and friendship experienced higher flow states during pair programming, whereas heterogeneous pairs in... Read more

3. How do emerging technologies like AI-driven code generation tools and debugging environments influence coding education, problem-solving, and error correction?

This theme addresses the opportunities and challenges posed by AI-based coding assistants and interactive debugging tools for novices and educators. It investigates AI’s capacity to solve coding exercises such as Parsons problems, the differential impact of execution environments on correcting tracing errors, and the implications of these tools on students’ conceptual understanding, creativity, and independent problem-solving.

Key finding: The study found that OpenAI Codex correctly reordered blocks to solve Parsons problems about 50% of the time, significantly lower than its performance on traditional programming tasks. Minor prompt variations affected... Read more
Key finding: Using qualitative think-aloud methods, the research demonstrated that students could independently resolve dataflow-related tracing errors with output-only execution tools but required line-by-line debuggers to correct... Read more
