Even though IDEs are often a central tool when learning to program in CS1, many teachers still lean on paper-based exams. In this study, we examine the “test mode effect” in CS1 exams using the Rainfall problem. The test mode was two-phased. Half of the participants started working on the problem with pen and paper, while the other half had access to an IDE. After submitting their solution, all students could rework their solution on an IDE. The experiment was repeated twice during subsequent course instances. The results were mixed. From the marking perspective, there was no statistically significant difference resulting from the mode. However, the students starting with the paper-based part tended to make more errors in their code, but after the computer-based reworking phase, they matched or exceeded the level of the students who started with the computer-based phase. We also discuss the reliability of automatic assessment that is based on a unit test suite that was develo ped for the purposes of this study.

Pair interactions in online assessments of collaborative problem solving : case-based portraits
Pöysä-Tarhonen, Johanna; Care, Esther; Awwal, Nafisa; Häkkinen, Päivi (World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd., 2018)This exploratory case study focuses on how pairs of students can build a shared understanding and acquire collaborative problem-solving (CPS) practices during an online assessment of CPS skills, which is seen in the ... -
Students’ collaboration dispositions across diverse skills of collaborative problem solving in a computer-based assessment environment
Li, Shupin; Pöysä-Tarhonen, Johanna; Häkkinen, Päivi (Elsevier, 2023)Collaborative problem solving (CPS) has been considered as one of the vital 21st century skills. To be successful in CPS requires not only CPS skills but also positive attitudes towards collaboration (i.e., collaboration ... -
A computer‐based Pinyin intervention for disadvantaged children in China : Effects on Pinyin skills, phonological awareness, and character reading
Li, Yixun; Chen, Xi; Li, Hong; Sheng, Xiaotian; Chen, Liu; Richardson, Ulla; Lyytinen, Heikki (John Wiley & Sons, 2020)Pinyin is an alphabetic script that denotes pronunciations of Chinese characters. Studies have shown that Pinyin instruction enhances both phonological awareness (e.g., Shu et al., Developmental Science, 2008, 11, 171–181) ...
