Ben-Yaacov, Anat; Hershkovitz, Arnon – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Block programming has been suggested as a way of engaging young learners with the foundations of programming and computational thinking in a syntax-free manner. Indeed, syntax errors--which form one of two broad categories of errors in programming, the other one being logic errors--are omitted while block programming. However, this does not mean…

Hershkovitz, Arnon; Sitman, Raquel; Israel-Fishelson, Rotem; Eguíluz, Andoni; Garaizar, Pablo; Guenaga, Mariluz – Interactive Learning Environments, 2019
Many worldwide initiatives consider both creativity and computational thinking as crucial skills for future citizens, making them a priority for today's learners. We studied the associations between these two constructs among middle school students (N = 57), considering two types of creativity: a general creative thinking, and a specific…

Israel-Fishelson, Rotem; Hershkovitz, Arnon; Eguíluz, Andoni; Garaizar, Pablo; Guenaga, Mariluz – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Creativity and Computational Thinking (CT) have been both extensively researched in recent years. However, the associations between them are still not fully understood despite their recognition as essential competencies for the digital age. This study looks to bridge this gap by examining the association between CT and two types of creativity,…
