Learning to program through interactive simulation

Abstract: Extensive studies have been conducted on programming knowledge, instructional environments and effective pedagogies in order to improve the teaching and learning of computer programming. However, there have been few studies on the usefulness and effectiveness of using simulation. The aim of this paper is two-fold: to describe the design and development of a computer-based simulation tool for learning computer programming and to report a case study of four students' learning experiences using the simulation too… Show more

“…In teaching physics in the classroom, for example to understand the concept of projectile motion, PhET is a virtual simulation which is considered the most effective technology to produce the best conceptual understanding in students, even when compared to phenomenon-based learning (Chinaka, 2021). This claim is in line with the results of a study that has long been stated by Yuen (2006), that computerbased virtual simulations are a learning necessity to encourage a more dynamic learning experience, and are able to construct students' thinking that is more solution. Finally, this is also in line with the results of our current study, that PhET virtual simulation has an impact on better student learning outcomes.…”

“…Jasti, N., et al, (2020) consideran que el desempeño de los estudiantes correspondiente a la aplicación, análisis y síntesis mejora significativamente a través de su uso. Yuen, A. H., (2006) propone que la simulación permite un aprendizaje dinámico, fomenta enfoques cognitivos y aumenta la motivación. Dey, U., y Cheruvu S, K. (2020) consideran que el uso de simulaciones da un resultado de aprendizaje por parte del estudiante en forma equivalente al obtenido con los laboratorios físicos.…”
