Xuemin Gao; Yuqin Yang; Yuxia Du; Daner Sun – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2025
Block-based visual programming tools are widely used in elementary education. Nonetheless, these tools alone may not ensure the spontaneous and efficient acquisition of concepts and skills in computational thinking (CT). Using mind mapping as a form of scaffolding to facilitate the visualization of abstract thinking processes may enhance the…
