• To block or not to block, that is the question: students' perceptions of blocks-based programming (2015, background): “This means older students learning in a formal setting, which is quite distinct from the younger audience and informal settings that Scratch, and many of the tools inspired by Scratch, were initially designed for [26].”
• Scholarship, Research, and Creative Work at Bryn Mawr College Scholarship, Research, and Creative Work at Bryn Mawr College (neutral): “Bivar makes the assumption that authority to travel was being given by the satraps of the provinces in which thejourneys originated (Bivar 1988, 206-7) .”
• In-IDE Code Generation from Natural Language: Promise and Challenges (2021, background): “Some examples include visual programming languages such as Scratch [72] that offers a building-block style graphical user interface to implement logic.”
• A Crafts-Oriented Approach to Computing in High School (2014, methodology): “ModKit [Millner and Baafi 2011] is a visual programming environment built as an overlay of Arduino that shows lines of code as stackable blocks similar to the Scratch language [Maloney et al. 2010].”
• Learning by Taking Apart: Deconstructing Code by Reading, Tracing, and Debugging (2016, background): “Papert’s legacy lives on at the MIT Media Lab, where engineers continue to invent exceptional educational technologies [1, 12, 47].”
• An Empirical Investigation into Programming Language Syntax (2013, neutral): “…syntax is worthwhile at all, given innovations by those developing syntax directed editors [Teitelbaum and Reps 1981], or more modern tools like Alice [Cooper 2010; Pausch 2008], Scratch [Maloney et al. 2010; Resnick et al. 2009], or perhaps end-user programming systems [Ko et al. 2011].”
