Abstract

This study developed three interactive historical vignettes (IHVs) to teach high school students computer science concepts. The three developed IHVs address the concepts of a compiler, high-level languages, and artificial intelligence respectively. The developed IHVs materials were delivered in a high school computer science course to evaluate its impact on students' learning, in terms of assessment, interest, as well as the nature of science. The study reveals that by applying the IHVs approach, students learned the computer science concepts better than students who used the traditional approach. Students showed positive attitudes toward IHVs activities and understood more about the nature of science.
