Unahalekhaka, Apittha; Bers, Marina Umaschi – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Project-based assessment has been used to evaluate coding projects created by students for a long time. Nevertheless, there is a lack of rigorously tested project-based coding rubrics that are developmentally appropriate for early childhood. This study presented the development and testing of a coding rubric to evaluate children's creations with…

Unahalekhaka, Apittha; Bers, Marina Umaschi – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
With a growing number of ScratchJr usage, over 19 million users worldwide, we examined the use in the United States of the free ScratchJr programming language, explicitly designed for young children ages 5-7, to learn how to code. Our objective was to explore children's usage of the ScratchJr tablet app at home and school settings. We analyzed…

Murcia, Karen; Pepper, Coral; Joubert, Mathilda; Cross, Emma; Wilson, Sinead – Issues in Educational Research, 2020
We present research that explored digital coding in an Australian early years learning centre and how it impacted on a focus group of 3 and 4-year-old children's creativity. The questions that guided the design experimental method were: (1) how do young children develop and demonstrate creativity when learning through play with digital coding…
