The increasing applications of AI in PRs are driving a demand for proficient practitioners. Recognizing this, PR educational institutions must adapt by delivering tailored AI education. Despite…

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of robotic coding education on cognitive skills awareness and learning responsibilities. The training prepared in this process was designed and implemented by subject experts. The training has been organized as 4 hours a week to last 4 weeks. In this study, both quantitative and qualitative research…

In the last decade, there has been an increasing shift to begin teaching computer science and computational thinking in kindergarten. Most of these efforts have grown from the demand of a technically sophisticated workforce. This paper presents three contributions. First, a theoretical contribution by proposing the teaching of computer science as…

Computer science instructors typically have many responsibilities, such as creating material, delivering lectures, clarifying student questions, and grading student deliverables, while the demand for computer science education has been increasing. Handling all of these responsibilities is challenging in itself. However, it is made worse when…

Contribution: This article proposes a new theoretical model with a goal to develop future human computational thinking (CT) in foundational computer science (CS) education. The model blends six critical types of thinking, i.e., logical thinking, systems thinking, sustainable thinking, strategic thinking, creative thinking, and responsible thinking…

This study examined student learning outcomes from a middle school computer science (CS) curriculum developed through a researcher and practitioner partnership (RPP) project. The curriculum is based on students creating mobile apps that serve community and social good. We collected two sets of data from 294 students in three urban districts: (1)…
