Giorgia Adorni; Alberto Piatti; Engin Bumbacher; Lucio Negrini; Francesco Mondada; Dorit Assaf; Francesca Mangili; Luca Maria Gambardella – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2025
In recent years, the emphasis on computational thinking (CT) has intensified as an effect of accelerated digitalisation. While most researchers are concentrating on defining CT and developing tools for its instruction and assessment, we focus on the characteristics of computational thinking problems (CTPs) -- activities requiring CT to be…

Irem Nur Çelik; Kati Bati – Informatics in Education, 2025
In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of cooperative learning on the computational thinking skills and academic performances of middle school students in the computational problem-solving approach. We used the pretest-posttest control group design of the quasiexperimental method. In the research, computational problem-solving…

Alejandra J. Magana; Joreen Arigye; Abasiafak Udosen; Joseph A. Lyon; Parth Joshi; Elsje Pienaar – International Journal of STEM Education, 2024
Background: This study posits that scaffolded team-based computational modeling and simulation projects can support model-based learning that can result in evidence of representational competence and regulatory skills. The study involved 116 students from a second-year thermodynamics undergraduate course organized into 24 teams, who worked on…

Pei-Hsuan Lin; Po-Sen Huang; Ying Geng; Yueh-Min Huang – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Novice nurses often report a disconnect between textbook knowledge and realworld practice which damages their confidence in providing clinical care to patients. Nursing students indeed encounter numerous challenges in clinical environments such as inadequate resources and a gap between learning theory and clinical practice. To close the…

Zebel-Al Tareq; Raja Jamilah Raja Yusof – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Contribution: A problem-solving approach (PSA) model derived from major computational thinking (CT) concepts. This model can be utilized to formulate solutions for different algorithmic problems and translate them into effective active learning methods. Background: Different teaching approaches for programming are widely available; however, being…
