Direct linkMoore, Tamara J.; Brophy, Sean P.; Tank, Kristina M.; Lopez, Ruben D.; Johnston, Amanda C.; Hynes, Morgan M.; Gajdzik, Elizabeth – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
Computational thinking requires high cognitive load as students work to manage multiple tasks in their problem-solving environment. Through research in K-2 classrooms on computational thinking, we noticed that students lack the representational fluency needed to move from one form to another--such as moving from physical to more abstract…
