Call, Tristan; Fox, Erik; Sprint, Gina – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2021
Contribution: Research has shown that computer science (CS) students who start programming assignments (PAs) early generally receive higher grades. This article presents and evaluates a gamification approach that utilizes software engineering tools to motivate CS students to start and finish PAs earlier. Background: CS can be difficult to learn…

Zhao, Dan; Muntean, Cristina Hava; Chis, Adriana E.; Muntean, Gabriel-Miro – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2021
Contribution: This research study deploys three serious games with various topics in an entry-level C Programming module and investigates students' learning outcomes. The study also explores whether learners belonging to different subgroups benefit more from the use of serious games than their peers. The subgroups are formed based on learner…
