Ünal Çakiroglu; Volkan Selçuk – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
In recent years, when computational thinking (CT) has become increasingly important, utilizing machine learning (ML) techniques provides a revolutionary method for comprehending and improving cognitive skills for young students. However, few studies deepen the process of learning ML and CT. This exploratory study aims to investigate the impact of…

Lorien Cafarella; Lucas Vasconcelos – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Middle school students often enter Computer Science (CS) classes without previous CS or Computational Thinking (CT) instruction. This study evaluated how Code.org's block-based programming curriculum affects middle school students' CT skills and attitudes toward CT and CS. Sixteen students participated in the study. This was a mixed methods action…

Yu-Sheng Su; Shuwen Wang; Xiaohong Liu – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
Pair programming (PP) can help improve students' computational thinking (CT), but the trajectory of CT skills and the differences between high-scoring and low-scoring students in PP are unknown and need further exploration. In this study, a total of 32 fifth graders worked on Scratch tasks in 16 pairs. The group discourse of three learning topics…

Liu, Zhichun; Moon, Jewoong – Educational Technology & Society, 2023
In this study, we have proposed and implemented a sequential data analytics (SDA)-driven methodological framework to design adaptivity for digital game-based learning (DGBL). The goal of this framework is to facilitate children's personalized learning experiences for K-5 computing education. Although DGBL experiences can be beneficial, young…

Counting-Focused Intervention Effects for Students with Mathematics Difficulty: A Research Synthesis
Syeda Sharjina Akther; Sarah R. Powell; Danielle O. Lariviere – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2025
Counting is foundational to success with mathematics. In this synthesis, we analyzed 17 studies about counting-focused interventions for preschool and kindergarten students with mathematics difficulty or at-risk of mathematics difficulty. All interventions addressed several components of counting, including stable order, one-to-one correspondence,…

Chi-Jen Lin; Husni Mubarok – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Fostering young learners' computational thinking in AI-based robots is a crucial issue in educational settings. However, there was the complexity of technology in supporting learning activities and the gender gap issue, so an appropriate strategy is needed to guide students to achieve the learning goals. In this study, an AI (Artificial…

Darius Endlich; Wolfgang Lenhard; Peter Marx; Tobias Richter – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2024
Children with mathematical difficulties need to spend more time than typically achieving children on solving even simple equations. Since these tasks already require a larger share of their cognitive resources, additional demands imposed by the need to switch between tasks may lead to a greater decline of performance in children with mathematical…

Yun Dai – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
There is a growing consensus that AI literacy requires a holistic lens, including not only technical knowledge and skills but also social and ethical considerations. Yet, providing holistic AI education for upper-primary students remains challenging due to the abstract and complex nature of AI and a lack of pedagogical experiences in schools.…

Dayae Yang – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This dissertation follows a manuscript-style format, beginning with an introduction and literature review, followed by three distinct studies and a concluding section. All three studies use "Lucky Codes," an educational board game designed to foster computational thinking skills in elementary students, as the intervention. The first…

Qian Zhao; Zezhi Zheng – SAGE Open, 2024
The generation of meaning in discourse is regarded as the process of knowledge-building, which can be analyzed by semantic waves. Combining the deep learning systems and polynomial fitting method, we present a method to compute multimodal semantic waves. With this method, four representative examples are discussed for the knowledge-building of…
