Programming education and learner motivation in the age of generative AI: student and educator perspectives

Purpose Programming education is being rapidly transformed by generative AI tools and educators must determine how best to support students in this context. This study aims to explore the experiences of programming educators and students to inform future education provision. Design/methodology/approach Twelve students and six members of faculty in a small technology-focused university were interviewed. Thematic analysis of the interview data was combined with data collected from a survey of 44 students at the same university. Self-determination theory was applied as an analytical framework. Findings Three themes were identified – bespoke learning, affect and support – that significantly impact motivation and learning outcomes in programming education. It was also found that students are already making extensive use of large language models (LLMs). LLMs can significantly improve learner autonomy and sense of competence by improving the options for bespoke learning; fostering emotions that are conducive to engendering and maintaining motivation; and inhibiting the negative affective states that discourage learning. However, current LLMs cannot adequately provide or replace social support, which is still a key factor in learner motivation. Research limitations/implications Integrating the use of LLMs into curricula can improve learning motivation and outcomes. It can also free educators from certain tasks, leaving them with more time and capacity to focus their attention on developing social learning opportunities to further enhance learner motivation. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first attempt to explore the relationship between motivation and LLM use in programming education.

Elementary school students’ learning difficulties on distance learning during COVID-19: the psychological approach

<span lang="EN-US">During the COVID-19 period, pupils in primary schools have encountered various learning challenges. In Indonesia, this occurs in every primary school. This study intends to lighten the psychological aspect of distance learning challenges. This study employs a mixed-method methodology by integrating qualitative research, a case study technique, and quantitative description (n=414). Researchers looked at three primary school models in South Sumatra and Special Region of Yogyakarta: Model A, which used technology-based online learning; Model B, which integrated online and offline learning; and Model C, which only used WhatsApp group-based offline learning. Focus group discussions, observations, documentation, and interviews with teachers, parents, and students were all undertaken by the researchers. They also distributed open-ended and closed-ended questionnaires via Google Form. The interactive Miles, Huberman, and Saldana’s models were used to analyze data. The findings demonstrated that children in all three school models encountered similar learning challenges. Still, in Model C, the complexity of those challenges was more significant than in Model A and Model B. Learning challenges included issues with comprehending topics, struggling to solve the problems with completing tasks, and working with self-study. The lack of essential psychological needs, such as the ability to interact and actualize oneself, as well as the boredom or monotony of students when pursuing distance learning, are some of the causes of learning challenges. The findings of this study have consequences for teachers and psychologists, who should pay attention to children’s fundamental needs to improve learning motivation and academic progress in primary school pupils.</span>

Exploring the synergy of improved convolutional neural networks and attention mechanisms for potential STEM knowledge concept recommendation in MOOCs

The multi course association of STEM poses an important challenge to the learning background of learners. Once learners do not have sufficient understanding of knowledge association or do not implement the topological order of knowledge advancement, they are prone to burnout in the learning process, forming serious negative emotions, which is not conducive to learning effectiveness, and even premature dropout. This is clearly a psychological teaching problem, that is our research objectives. This study focuses on the STEM learning behaviors in MOOCs, and explores the deep learning routing. We design one novel method to process the context features and content features for knowledge concept recommendation. Multiple entities, features, and courses enable the construction and optimization of knowledge concept relationships. Then, an attention mechanism is used to achieve the knowledge concept propagation between different entities. The extensive experiments have proved this method might accurately capture potential interests of knowledge concepts, achieve the effective deep learning routing, and explore and guide the positive learning state, reduce or avoid the negative psychological outcomes, such as dropout or low pass rate. The entire study aims to enhance learning outcomes, improve learning motivation, optimize learning behaviors, and provide more effective suggestions for STEM education, that is very important for the interdisciplinary learning in higher education. The whole research might provide key support for tracking possible psychological changes in learners, improving learning behavior trends, and enhance learning quality during STEM learning, fully improve and optimize the learning state, construct effective decisions for positive learning interests.
