Messer, David; Thomas, Lucy; Holliman, Andrew; Kucirkova, Natalia – Education and Information Technologies, 2018
This investigation concerns two questions: (i) is simple educational programming with children, compared to working on mathematical tasks, more effective in increasing scores in mathematical abilities, spatial awareness and working memory? (ii) is educational programming on a digital device, compared to similar paper and pencil programming…
