ACM Digital Library publishes 21 journals and transactions. Journal on Educational Resources in Computing (JERIC) is one journal that I feel suitable to research in.
One seemingly interesting article:
Reducing Abstraction in High School Computer Science Education: The Case of Definition, Implementation, and Use of Abstract Data Types
Victoria Sakhnini, Orit Hazzan
Volume 8, Issue 2, Journal on Educational Resources in Computing
Link to the article
Problem for the study:
What difficulties do students face when dealing with abstract data types
What procedure was used for the study:
Interview with 16 students to study their mental processes.
Also do observation in 3 CS classes.
What were the major conclusions for the study:
It is found that students tend to reduce the level of abstraction of the concept involved in different problem-solving situations. It is very similar to a previous study on mental process of reducing abstraction. The same framework is applied in the field of studying abstract computer science problems.
How to classify the study?
Qualitative approach
