Learning Computational Concepts and Debugging Processes Through Productive Failure Design

• In Event: TIL- Learning Computational Concepts and Debugging Processes Through Productive Failure Design

Short Description

This work contributes to an emerging body of work focused on the effective implementation of Productive Failure learning designs with diverse open-ended problems in informal learning environments. We designed an online synchronous workshop where high school students worked through code debugging problems. We report on findings from an interaction analysis of salient moments of students’ debugging process and their explanations of successful and unsuccessful troubleshooting to understand students' learning of and engagement with computational concepts.
