Pilot research results https://noise.getoto.net/2024/09/18/how-useful-do-teachers-find-error-message-explanations-generated-by-ai-pilot-research-results/ Wed, 18 Sep 2024 14:46:17 +0000 https://www.raspberrypi.org/?p=88171 As discussions of how artificial intelligence (AI) will impact teaching, learning, and assessment proliferate, I was thrilled to be able to add one of my own research projects to the mix. As a research scientist at the Raspberry Pi Foundation, I’ve been working on a pilot research study in collaboration with Jane Waite to explore…

As a computing educator or researcher, you might wonder what impact generative AI tools will have on how young people learn programming. In our latest research seminar, Barbara Ericson and Xinying Hou…

That’s why we consider computational thinking (CT) carefully when creating learning resources here at the Raspberry Pi Foundation. However,…

It’s becoming a cliche to point out that, because the term “AI” is used to describe so many different things nowadays, it’s difficult to know straight away what anyone means when they say “AI”. However, it’s true that without a shared understanding of…
