计算思维和创造性思维是计算机科学（CS）内外的宝贵工具。这里讨论的项目目标是通过一系列计算创造力练习（CCEs）来提高学生在计算机科学课程中的成绩。本文描述了CCEs的框架，并介绍了两项关于CCEs对学生成绩影响的独立研究结果。计算机科学入门课程的学生完成了CCEs作为这些课程的一部分。研究一的学生来自不同的专业，研究二的学生来自工程专业。采用分析方法来测试CCEs的影响是否可以通过学生的动机和自我调节参与的差异来解释。总体而言，CCEs对学生的成绩和知识测试成绩有积极的影响，尽管在成就方面存在差异，但CCEs的影响在各方面总体上是一致的。cce似乎是提高学生在计算机科学入门课程中的成绩的一种很有希望的方法。讨论了今后研究的意义和方向。
Computational thinking and creative thinking are valuable tools both within and outside of computer science (CS). The goal of the project discussed here is to increase students’ achievement in CS courses through a series of computational creativity exercises (CCEs). In this paper, the framework of CCEs is described, and the results of two separate studies on their impact on student achievement are presented. Students in introductory CS courses completed CCEs as part of those courses. Students in Study 1 came from a variety of programs, and students in Study 2 were engineering majors. A profiling approach was used to test whether the impact of the CCEs could be accounted for by differences in students’ motivated and self-regulated engagement. Overall, CCEs had positive impacts on students’ grades and knowledge test scores, and although there were differences in achievement across the profiles, the impact of the CCEs was generally consistent across profiles. The CCEs appear to be a promising way to increase student achievement in introductory CS courses. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.
