Canbeldek, Merve; Isikoglu, Nesrin – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Recently, coding and robotics education has started to be integrated into early childhood education in Turkey. The current study aims to investigate the effects of "Productive Children: Coding and Robotics Education Program (PCP)" on children's cognitive development skills, language development and creativity. Eighty children, enrolled…

Silvis, Deborah; Lee, Victor R.; Clarke-Midura, Jody; Shumway, Jessica F. – Information and Learning Sciences, 2022
Purpose: Much remains unknown about how young children orient to computational objects and how we as learning scientists can orient to young children as computational thinkers. While some research exists on how children learn programming, very little has been written about how they learn the technical skills needed to operate technologies or to…

Zhenhua Wu; Linting Zheng; Li'an Huang – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Programming has been considered a crucial "object to think with", which can integrate with various disciplines and facilitate learning in other areas. However, existing research primarily focuses on how children learn to code rather than how coding helps them to learn. To address this gap, a quasi-experimental case study was conducted…

The Effect of STEM-Based Robotic Coding Education on Primary School Students' Decision-Making Skills
Meryem Meral; Sema Altun Yalçin; Zehra Çakir; Esila Samur – Journal of Theoretical Educational Science, 2024
The aim in this study was to determine the effectiveness of STEM-based robotic coding education for primary school students in terms of their decision-making skills. Mixed method research was conducted. Pretest-posttest control group designs were used in the quantitative phase, and a case study was performed in the qualitative phase of the…

Jillian Powers; Susannah Brown; Robert Bogle; Ann Musgrove; Susan Wemette – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2024
This mixed-methods study explored the impact of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) lessons on elementary students' STEAM knowledge, identities, and attitudes toward STEAM education. The study was conducted at an independent school in South Florida, United States, which employs arts integration pedagogy to serve at-risk…

Lehong Shi; Roger Hill – Journal of Technology Education, 2025
Engineering and technology teachers have advocated using robotics and coding to cultivate students' computational thinking and problem-solving skills at PreK-12 levels. Understanding teachers' perceptions of how preschool children develop strategies and skills for engaging in robotics and coding activities is crucial for promoting the early use of…

Ozyurt, Ozcan; Ozyurt, Hacer – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) has started to attract attention as an important research topic in recent years. It is important to describe the CT field in detail and to determine the research interests and trends of studies in this field. In this most comprehensive and first topic modeling based study in the field of CT, it was aimed to determine…

Swaminathan, Sudha; Mazza, Jenna; Lisenbee, Peggy S. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2021
Our goal was to study the impact of coding on preschoolers' math abilities and to analyze their coding behaviors. Participants were six preschoolers, four years of age, from a play-based accredited program. We measured their Math abilities using TEAM and observed their coding behaviors with a structured instrument. Children used a robotic toy to…

Allison Payne Burney – ProQuest LLC, 2020
No doubt exists that literacy and mathematics are the primary foci of early childhood education. Children have limited exposure to computer science-related topics, including robotics, coding, and engineering design. This study is based on prior research evidence indicating that early childhood teachers' confidence and competence can be enhanced…

Maria Shaheen; Lauren Loquasto – Dimensions of Early Childhood, 2025
When thinking of early childhood STEM, images of active, play-based design challenges, experiences with robotics/coding, or hands-on experiences with open-ended materials (e.g., balls, ramps, loose parts) often come to mind. While these are certainly images that align with developmentally appropriate early childhood STEM practices, some of the…

Govind, Madhu – ProQuest LLC, 2022
In recent years there has been an increased push for K-12 computer science education. A major reason for this push is the growing evidence that introducing young children to coding can enhance their interest and promote their learning of foundational skills needed to thrive in today's technologically rich world. However, little research has…

Su, Jiahong; Yang, Weipeng; Li, Hui – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2023
Coding (or computer programming) helps equip children with an intellectual structure that is valuable for their lifelong learning and development. The proliferation of innovative coding platforms, especially screen-free programmable robotics, has made it possible for coding to be integrated into early childhood education (ECE). However, how the…
