Barrón-Estrada, María Lucia; Zatarain-Cabada, Ramón; Romero-Polo, Jorge Abraham; Monroy, Julieta Noguez – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Pattern recognition is an important skill of Computational Thinking and is one of the most important competences for solving a problem that involves finding similarities or patterns in small problems to solve more complex ones. In this work, we present the mobile application software Patrony. The main contribution of this work is to promote the…

Yasemin Allsop; Filiz Kalelioglu; Melike Aslan Unlu – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2024
This study investigated the effectiveness of the 'Match it' card sorting activity for evaluating the student teachers' knowledge and understanding of computational thinking (CT) concepts. One hundred forty-six primary student teachers were asked to sort 26 scenarios and words alongside nine images under five main computational concepts:…

Zippert, Erica L.; Douglas, Ashli-Ann; Tian, Fang; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Preschoolers' repeating patterning knowledge is predictive of their concurrent and later math and numeracy knowledge, but strong experimental evidence is needed to determine if these relations are causal. The purpose of the current study was to examine the causal effects of repeating patterning and numeracy tutoring on repeating patterning,…

Aydin, Gökhan; Duran, Volkan; Mertol, Hüseyin – International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, 2021
This study aims to develop a computer program for the identification key to insect orders (Arthropoda: Hexapoda) and to investigate its effectiveness as teaching material. Secondly, this study is aiming at whether this program improves students' computational thinking skills or not longitudinal quasi-experimental design. Firstly, the study is…

Susac, Ana; Planinic, Maja; Bubic, Andreja; Jelicic, Katarina; Ivanjek, Lana; Cvenic, Karolina Matejak; Palmovic, Marijan – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Recognition of interference and diffraction patterns is a difficult task for both high-school and university students. Many students fail to observe important features of particular patterns and identify the differences among similar patterns. In this study, we investigated if performing students' investigative experiments can help high-school…

Rock, Cheryl; Metzger, Elizabeth; Metzger, Nzinga – Journal of Food Science Education, 2021
Organizational patterns can serve as a teaching strategy for instructors and as a learning tool for students to develop their expository writing skills, which are commonly required for assignments (for example, laboratory reports and research papers) in Food Science courses and in their future careers. The article discusses the importance of…

McKnight, Patrick E.; Kidd, Julie K.; Gallington, Debbie A.; Strauss, Lauren I.; Lyu, Hao; Gadzichowski, K. Marinka; Pasnak, Robert – Grantee Submission, 2021
This project tested the effects of adding instruction of trios of children in patterning, mathematics, early literacy, or social studies to ongoing instruction in kindergartens. Children were randomly assigned to trios which were randomly assigned to one of four kinds of instruction. A quarter of the trios received patterning instruction with a…
