A case study of undergraduate engineering students' computational literacy and self-beliefs about computing in the context of authentic practices

作者:

Highlights:

• Students exposed an ‘authentic’ programming course, increased their control appraisals.

• Students exposed to the computational modules reported increased control appraisals.

• Most students increased their disciplinary knowledge when using the configuring approach.

• Students exposed the ‘authentic’ course benefitted from the programming and configuring approach.
