Transprogramming in the primary-level programming lessons: reconceptualizing translanguaging in the era of artificial intelligence

Abstract In the current era of artificial intelligence, programming and coding have become crucial skills for students to navigate the constantly changing technological landscape. As technology increasingly influences various aspects of our lives, the ability to comprehend and interact with programming languages gains greater importance. However, there is limited research that examines the role of teachers’ and students’ linguistic and multimodal repertoires in facilitating programming education. This paper aims to investigate how a primary-level information technology teacher utilizes various linguistic, semiotic, and technological resources to teach programming to students. The study’s data is collected from a focussed observation in a primary information technology classroom in Hong Kong. Multimodal conversation analysis was employed to analyse the classroom data, which is triangulated with the analysis of video-stimulated-recall-interviews using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The findings illustrate that when engaging in programming tasks, teachers can employ a diverse range of multilingual, multimodal, and programming resources to enhance students’ programming skills. This article introduces the concept of ‘transprogramming’, which expands upon the idea of translanguaging as a theory of language. This concept of transprogramming acknowledges that programming languages and computational representations are not separate entities but are instead components of a larger linguistic and semiotic environment. The findings emphasize the importance of teachers incorporating diverse funds of knowledge in the classroom to enhance students’ capabilities in constructing and comprehending representations of programming codes during their engagement in programming activities.

The Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Age-Based Disparities in Digital Health Technology Use: Secondary Analysis of the 2017-2022 Health Information National Trends Survey.

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of digital health technology, but it could also impact age-based disparities as existing studies have pointed out. Compared with the pre-pandemic period, whether the rapid digitalization of the health care system during the pandemic widened the age-based disparities over a long period remains unclear. This study aimed to analyze the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the multifaceted landscape of digital health technology used across diverse age groups among US citizens. We conducted the retrospective observational study using the 2017-2022 Health Information National Trends Survey to identify the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on a wide range of digital health technology use outcomes across various age groups. The sample included 15,505 respondents, which were categorized into 3 age groups: adults (18-44 years), middle-aged adults (45-64 years), and older adults (more than 65 years). We also designated the time point of March 11, 2020, to divide the pre- and post-pandemic periods. Based on these categorizations, multivariate linear probability models were used to assess pre-post changes in digital health technology use, controlling for demographic, socioeconomic, and health-related variables among different age groups. Essentially, older adults were found to be significantly less likely to use digital health technology compared with adults, with a 26.28% lower likelihood of using the internet for health information (P<.001) and a 32.63% lower likelihood of using health apps (P<.001). The usage of digital health technology for all age groups had significantly increased after the onset of the pandemic, and the age-based disparities became smaller in terms of using the internet to look for health information. However, the disparities have widened for older adults in using the internet to look up test results (11.21%, P<.001) and make appointments (10.03%, P=.006) and using wearable devices to track health (8.31%, P=.01). Our study reveals a significant increase in the use of digital health technology among all age groups during the pandemic. However, while the disparities in accessing online information have narrowed, age-based disparities, particularly for older adults, have widened in most areas such as looking up test results and making appointments with doctors. Therefore, older adults are more likely left behind by the rapidly digitalized US health care system during the pandemic. Policy makers and health care providers should focus on addressing these disparities to ensure equitable access to digital health resources for US baby boomers.

Comments: Your Next Big Idea Starts Here: Why JPT Should Be a Habit

You may have noticed something a little different about JPT recently—me. While I’ve been part of this publication’s journey since 2010, I am honored to now step into the role of managing editor, taking over from Pam Boschee. Pam, who deftly helmed JPT and its sister publications for almost 5 years, will continue leading our group as the director of SPE’s magazines. My communications career in oil and gas began in 2010 by helping the industry and other stakeholders learn all about subsea oil spill containment. This introduction to the industry came during one of its darkest chapters: the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the US Gulf of Mexico (GOM). While the world was still reeling from the scope and scale of the blowout, which had finally been brought under control, I joined Helix Energy Solutions in Houston to help shape the messaging around a solution. I was proud to be part of a team that played a role in containing the mile-deep blowout using an innovative wellhead cap and riser system. The idea sounds simple but was nothing short of an engineering marvel at the time: cap the blowout well and redirect the uncontrolled flow of oil to a floating production and storage unit on the surface. This approach had never been attempted before the Deepwater Horizon disaster—in fact, it hadn’t even been thought of until the events of April 2010 forced the industry to innovate under extraordinary pressure. The engineers and subsea professionals who designed the system took great pride in sharing their knowledge with me, and I found equal joy in learning from them. I was hooked—bitten by the upstream technology bug. Looking back, I’m reminded of the pride those engineers and professionals took in their work, which ultimately enabled the safe resumption of deepwater drilling across the US GOM. Their innovation became a much-needed insurance policy against future subsea blowouts, which, thankfully, have not occurred. The experience ignited my passion for the oil and gas industry and prepared me to embrace a broader world of innovation when I joined JPT as a technology writer in 2013. Today, as managing editor, my mission is simple: to ensure JPT remains an indispensable resource for SPE members worldwide. At its core, SPE is dedicated to knowledge sharing, and for more than 75 years, JPT has been a constant, reliable vehicle for that mission.
