Art can purify the soul and cultivate sentiment. Artists promote the dissemination and popularization of ecological awareness through the power of art. Painting has a strong visual aesthetic ideology and closely relates to people, nature, and society. Landscape oil paintings use visual metaphor and symbolic expression techniques to endow paintings with multiple and rich ecological concepts, conveying anxiety about various ecological imbalances in human society. However, the exploration of oil painting teaching has stopped in universities recently. Therefore, it is necessary to study the diversified landscape oil painting teaching mode from the perspective of ecology to promote its sustainable development. To further immerse students in nature and advance the sustainable development of oil painting teaching from an ecological perspective, teachers can utilize VR to create natural scenery by introducing the metaverse into the landscape oil painting course. However, in the 360-degree VR landscape sampling video, if the texture cannot be processed well, the student's experience will be significantly reduced. To this end, the texture synthesis of VR videos is studied. The simulation results show that the proposed texture synthesis method performs better in time and space, which undoubtedly improves the students' experience of watching VR landscape videos. Finally, this study uses questionnaires to examine the application effect of metaverse-based landscape oil painting courses. The experimental results demonstrate that metaverse-based landscape oil painting courses can increase students' sense of immersion, most strikingly, which is of great help to the improvement of grades.

“…Code tracing may involve various forms of sketching (Cunningham et al, 2017). In STEM domains outside of programming, sketching is routinely incorporated into introductory-level courses to help lessen student's cognitive load (Wu & Rau, 2019) and improve learning (Bobek & Tversky, 2016;Gagnier, Atit, Ormand, & Shipley, 2017;Gansemer-Topf, Paepcke-Hjeltness, Russell, & Schiltz, 2021;Raiyn, 2016). Code tracing helps novice programmers identify bugs (Griffin, 2016;Xie, Nelson, & Ko, 2018), predict code output (Risha, Barria-Pineda, Akhuseyinoglu, & Brusilovsky, 2021), and in general is associated with improved learning outcomes and student engagement (Cunningham et al, 2017;Hertz & Jump, 2013;Kumar, 2013;Lopez, Whalley, Robbins, & Lister, 2008;L.…”

Investigating the Effect of Interface Scaffolding and Example Design on Learning and Performance in a Code-Tracing Tutor

A foundational programming skill is code tracing. It involves simulating how a computer executes programs by tracking variable values and flow of program execution. Learning this skill is challenging and so research is needed to identify effective forms of assistance. This dissertation involves the design and evaluation of a computer tutor, called CT-Tutor.The tutor provided assistance for code tracing through interface scaffolding during code tracing as well as worked examples. The tutor was evaluated in three studies. Study 1 involved four versions of CT-Tutor to evaluate the effect of two levels of instructional scaffolding (high/reduced) and two types of instructional order (example-first/problemfirst). Contrary to my hypothesis, there was no evidence for a learning benefit from high scaffolding. However, the high-scaffolding version improved performance by reducing the number of attempts needed to get an answer correct. Instructional order also influenced performance. The example-first group spent more time per example, less time per problem, and required fewer attempts to produce correct answers.To shed light on student reasoning with CT-Tutor, Study 2 used a think-aloud protocol to analyze students' self-explanations and reading behaviors with the high-and reduced-scaffolding versions of the CT-Tutor; an exit interview was used to obtain data on the tutor's usability. Self-explanation was the main variable of interest, as prior research demonstrated it is beneficial for learning. There was no significant difference in the number of self-explanation between the two scaffolding versions. The exit interviews revealed that the CT-Tutor example design could be improved. i The CT-Tutor was subsequently re-designed to provide either dynamic and static examples. Previous research suggested that domains involving change over time are best presented by dynamic examples; code tracing is one such domain. The effect of example type on learning was not significant. The dynamic-example group spent more time on the examples, had marginally fewer incorrect attempts, and spent less time producing incorrect answers. In sum, ignoring condition, the CT-Tutor improved learning. However, the effect of the experimental manipulations was inconclusive. Performance was significantly affected by the experimental manipulations: the high-scaffolding problem interface, examplefirst instructional order, and dynamic examples improved code-tracing performance. David for your invaluable advice, guidance, and feedback which have been instrumental in shaping this dissertation. I extend my appreciation to my examining committee: my internal examiner, Robert Biddle, and my external examiner, Gord McCalla. Your insightful comments and constructive feedback have significantly enriched my work. This dissertation would not have been possible without my family. My parents, who have always emphasized the importance of education and believed in me throughout the highs and lows of this degree; and my sister, whose reactions to the magnitude of work inv...

Rapid advancements in bioengineering call for broad public literacy to help individuals better understand the changes these technologies bring to our lives. However, making bioengineering concepts accessible and relevant, especially to non-science majors, is often challenging. To address this challenge, we designed a general education course aimed at demystifying bioengineering through an inclusive, interdisciplinary approach. Grounded in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), sociocultural learning frameworks, and inquiry-based learning, the course integrates artistic perspectives with scientific instruction to encourage creativity and critical thinking. Students explore core bioengineering concepts, ethical considerations, and societal impacts through a combination of art, hands-on making, and collaborative learning. We observed high engagement and interdisciplinary connections in the classroom and the practical experiences shared here highlight the potential for such an approach to enhance scientific literacy and appreciation of bioengineering’s role in society.
