Universidad de Zaragoza First exposure to Arduino through peer-coaching: Impact on students' attitudes towards programming 2017 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted In this paper we report the work that jeKnowledge (Júnior Empresa da Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologias da Universidade de Coimbra), a student-led initiative, has done in the ‘jeKnowledge academy’ courses to actively engage Portuguese high-school students in STEM education through hands-on projects based on the low-cost Arduino platform. F2F activities, based on a peer-assisted learning strategy, were complemented with tutorials and more advanced project suggestions in a blog. Pre and post surveys on students'' attitudes towards programming and peer-coaching were administered to pre-university and first year college participants, finding an overall increase in the Likert scale for all the programming-related constructs under study (confidence, interest, gender, usefulness and professional) after the introductory course. As regards the peer-based learning approach, younger students seemed to be more eager to be taught in a less formal way than their older counterparts. The course resulted in high degrees of satisfaction for both the student tutors and their tutees. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 3.536 2017 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 16 / 135 = 0.119 2017 Q1 T1 PSYCHOLOGY, EXPERIMENTAL 8 / 85 = 0.094 2017 Q1 T1 1.555 2017 Arts and Humanities (miscellaneous) 2017 Q1 Psychology (miscellaneous) 2017 Q1 Human-Computer Interaction 2017 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Lopes, M.J.
