Tisza, Gabriella; Markopoulos, Panos; King, Heather – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Programming and creative thinking are important skills for the twenty-first century. A large body of evidence suggests that a playful approach to learning helps children engage deeply with programming, improves their creative thinking skills, and shapes a positive attitude towards programming. However, such research has rarely considered how…

Sendag, Serkan; Yakin, Ilker; Gedik, Nuray – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Teaching programming skills has attracted a great deal of attention for more than a decade. One potential reason behind this is that the explicit teaching of computer programming can improve higher-order thinking skills, such as creativity. Moreover, whether or not creative programming learning activities, such as the use of…

Israel-Fishelson, Rotem; Hershkovitz, Arnon; Eguíluz, Andoni; Garaizar, Pablo; Guenaga, Mariluz – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Creativity and Computational Thinking (CT) have been both extensively researched in recent years. However, the associations between them are still not fully understood despite their recognition as essential competencies for the digital age. This study looks to bridge this gap by examining the association between CT and two types of creativity,…
