During the last two decades educational robotics became a popular tool for teaching STEM concepts to audiences of all levels. Yet, its use for teaching programming with university-level non-STEM audiences has not been researched so far. This work presents a new educational activity designed for teaching programming to non-STEM university-level audiences. The key aspect is a separation of teaching programming concepts and programming language and;therefore, complexity reduction in learning. The concepts are introduced using educational robotics and later on students learn how to use the concepts in the context of the Python programming language. Two teaching approaches, direct instruction and productive failure, along with a capstone challenge are deployed and their relationship to educational robotics is observed.

Classroom questioning can promote students' learning to happen and is an important means of classroom teaching. In order to analyze the target direction of questions raised by teachers in current classroom teaching, clarify the difference between questions on different topics, and discover the problems of classroom teaching, the article takes the mathematics discipline competence as the direction of classroom questions, constructs a question coding framework based on the analysis of the connotation and behavioral performance of mathematics discipline competence, and analyzes the 20 examples of elementary school mathematics classroom teaching in collaboration with generative artificial intelligence. The results of the study found that the current classroom teaching questions are focused on learning comprehension and application practice, and less on creative transfer. The teaching questions of different teaching topics vary, with the teaching questions of number and algebra, graphing and geometry focusing on generalization and comprehension, and illustration and argumentation, and the questions of probability and statistics focusing on speculation and explanation. Finally, the article suggests that the design of questions should take into account the teaching objectives, teaching content, higher-order cognitive questions, and scientific expression of teaching questions based on the idea of cue engineering.

Since task offloading can reduce energy consumption and execution latency in edge computing, it becomes increasingly attractive in the areas of heterogeneous network edge computing and high-reliability-low-latency communications due to its high energy-efficiency and low execution-latency. Recently, by exploiting powerful adaptive capabilities, reinforcement learning has been successfully applied in task offloading. However, the dynamic changes in computation, storage, and network resources in edge computing lead to the time-varying nature of computing environment. Fortunately, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has excellent potential for time-varying task offloading in edge computing. In this article, we provide a novel task offloading method based on DRL in edge computing with the computational model architecture of edge computing and DRL solutions for task offloading. We also identify some potential applications of DRL in task offloading and present several key techniques to improve offloading decision performance with fusing computing, storage, and network resources. The future research directions and challenges have been discussed at the end of this article.

This study investigates the rarely-explored scaffolding processes in teaching artificial intelligence (AI), more specifically machine learning (ML), to K-12 students using educational technology. Focusing on a ML workshop within a children's science camp, we observed 7-12 year-olds interacting with image classifiers using their own drawings, guided by an experienced computing teacher. Our analysis highlights the importance of the teacher's role in a technology-rich environment in using diagnostic questions to reveal and address students' misconceptions, aligning with the concept of contingent support. By linking theoretical concepts to practical activities, the teacher helped shift the focus from surface features to deeper processes, promoting advanced reasoning. The paper discusses a distributed scaffolding system combining teacher guidance, technological affordances, and peer interaction, crucial for making complex concepts accessible to young learners. These insights are important for educators and technology developers in enhancing K-12 ML/AI education.

To broaden indigenous students' participation in Computer Science (CS) education, we conducted a research practitioner partnership (RPP) project, where teachers were taught the CS principles lessons offered by *** and asked to integrate mobile application development within their current courses. Additionally, modules and guidance were provided on culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP), and an in-classroom implementation of a five-day lesson plan was co-created via a participatory approach. In this experience report, we describe the RPP organization and early findings from our collected teachers' pre/post survey, lesson plans, projects, and students' pre/post survey. The positive outcomes from our RPP project provided valuable teacher learning experiences and actionable, culturally responsive computing lesson plans for the indigenous community.

The objective of the study is to determine the relationship between teaching styles and learning styles in university students;through a correlational study, in a population of 40 professors and 170 university students (Case of Universidad de la Costa - Colombia). For learning styles, Kolb's learning styles instrument was used;and for teaching styles, the teaching Styles Questionnaire was used, a standardized test designed under the methodology of the Evidence-Based Model and oriented to monitor the development of critical reading, written communication, citizenship competencies, quantitative reasoning and English. The resulting data were organized in a spreadsheet and processed using Statgraphics and R. The results show that the gender of the participants is not significant in the study;the predominant learning style of the students is the Accommodator, which is characterized by a better performance in concrete experience and active experimentation.

learning objectives are an essential part of teaching, but are rarely accounted for in digitization processes of courses. Instead of naively translating existing material into a digital form, they offer a chance to examine a course's didactic soundness and to create an aggregated knowledge representation. In this paper we present an applied method to digitally model courses based on learning objectives, coupled with a special exercise generator. This approach includes the extraction and categorization of learning objectives from course contents, the formal definition of subject matter and a topical overview of the course. The resulting model allows for a critical view on the didactics of the course through constructive alignment, while also serving as the basis for the exercise generator. Conclusively the effects of the method on the teaching experience, as well as the usability are discussed.
