In this paper we investigate factors that affect excessive use of Internet among elementary school students in Vojvodina. The quantitative analysis was performed using datasets from research carried out in 66 elementary schools across Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. Using a large data set on elementary school students, we have tried to describe the profile of students who excessively use Internet...
In the European Union development strategy formulated in the Europe 2020 document (European Commission, 2015) it was indicated, that the smart growth of the EU as a whole should be reached through the realization of three priorities: the increase in employment, the increase of productiveness and the social cohesion and specialized agendas: Digital Agenda, Education and Learning, E-skills and Employment...
The degree of including information, knowledge and technologies into all human activities is very high. New skills for new society are not only classical literacy (reading, writing, counting), but also information competencies and digital/computer literacy. According to ACM Europe Working Group in our “digital world”, information is available anywhere at any time, computer power is ubiquitous, communication...
In recent years, due to the advance of new technologies, the idea about intelligent tutoring system (ITS) has achieved many successes. The quality of the employed semantic space is a crucial element for establishing an ideal ITS. How accurate the student's responses can be identified and how precise the teaching content can be distributed all depend on the characteristics of the semantic space. A...
Visual programming languages (VPLs) are becoming more popular and making the transition from the informal to conventional educational settings. One of the important features of VPL is that novices are not required to remember a list of commands or complex syntax since everything they need is just there in the environment. The objective of introductory computer programming courses at the university...
Millennials are arriving to university sometimes uncomfortable with the methods of some courses. Ideas that worked with previous generations of students begin to fail when digital natives receive paper and pencil as tools. Courses must update from old paper-based methods to hands-on and computerized versions. The present work discusses about this update and comments on one implementation in the course...
The data structure course is very important for information communication technology learning. However, some students can learn data structures well, but most students feel difficult to understand the contents of the data structure course. Therefore, a data structure exercise system applying self-regulated learning mechanism was used for students to learn by their own goals and strategies, and this...
Memorizing and recollecting the contents of long text that has been read is a real challenge. Carrying out research, organizing and associating research ideas are equally challenging. The well-known saying that “A picture is worth a thousand words” is utilized in this teaching and learning process to empower research-minded practice among students. To accomplish this task, the concept of mind mapping...
We report on an approach and associated tool-support for automatically evaluating and grading exercises in Software Engineering courses, by connecting various third-party tools to the online learning platform Moodle. In the case study presented here, the tool was used in several instances of a lecture course to automatically measure the test coverage criteria wrt. the test cases defined by the students...
According to [8] the student's learning inspiration and adequacy can be influenced by several environmental factors which includes the learning approach and social pressure from class mates. The aim of this study is to investigate students' perceptions about the contribution of collaborative learning and the Hackathon to improve computer programming pass rate. The study included both the under-graduate...
The web-based personalized intelligent tutoring systems(ITSs) has been applied to computer programming education. However, in terms of system computerization, there are issues in existing systems: 1. The information used to describe student individual learning status is non-enough detailed, badly-defined for objective analysis, and difficult to be handled by computers. 2. The collection of student...
The need to utilize English in daily international communications within broad settings, such as business and academia, is accelerated by Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) and internationalisation. Internationalisation introduces the increased need (through ICT) to communicate through a common language (global language) and English has evolved into such a ‘global language’. Students...
The Classroom Attentiveness Classification Tool (ClassACT) is a system designed to monitor student attentiveness in a variety of instructional phases within the learning environment: lectures, group work, assessments, etc. By collecting information about the user, the user's environment, and the device itself via the various sensors built in to the tablet, processing the data, and then passing it...
Hands-on ethical hacking and network defense has become an essential component in teaching cybersecurity. However, without understanding vulnerabilities in a computer system, it would be difficult to conduct successful network defense in order to prevent intruders in the real world. Therefore, teaching ethical hacking and vulnerability scanning is a key element to the success of cybersecurity curriculum...
As technology becomes a larger part of everyday life, it becomes increasingly more important for CS and CIT students to learn about cyber security during their education. While many cyber security oriented courses exist, it is also necessary that students must be able to work and learn in an environment that resembles a real world context. To address this problem it has become common to adapt cyber...
Computer programming skills are a critical necessity for today's students, but maintaining student interest in programming and engineering courses is challenging unless the theory is accompanied by engaging, hands-on applications. Additionally, many schools, especially those in underprivileged areas, lack the resources and personnel to develop or implement such applications. The Southwestern Indian...
This case study is about the introduction of computer science to girls in an all-girl environment. Due to the lack of women in technology, many efforts are being made to expose girls to computer programming at an early age. Code camp organizers are using the all-girl model to help put participants more at ease and boost their computing confidence. High computer self-efficacy leads to studying computer...
The purpose of this study was aimed to fabricate the computer instruction package on the silkscreen print design and to evaluate the efficiency of the package on the silkscreen print design, learning effectiveness, and learners' satisfaction towards the package. The research instrument used includes 1) the Computer Instruction Package on The Silkscreen Print Design, 2) an achievement test, 3) the...
Students of the iSTEM Club at Bridgewater-Raritan High School started the Digital Literacy project in the village of Paushi, West Bengal back in the summer of 2013. Two phases of the project have since been completed, one in 2013 and one in 2014. The first phase consisted of setting up one desktop system and one printer, which were used to teach the children of the village how to use computers. In...
This paper first describes the meaning of the we-media, big data, then, starting from the characteristics of the ideological and political education of university students in the era of we-media and big data, from the aspects of the quality ability of educators, students' ideological information analysis, interdisciplinary research and other aspects of the ideological and political education of university...
