Chan, Shiau-Wei; Looi, Chee-Kit; Ho, Weng Kin; Kim, Mi Song – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
The importance of computational thinking (CT) as a 21st-century skill for future generations has been a key consideration in the reforms of many national and regional educational systems. Much attention has been paid to integrating CT into the traditional subject classrooms. This paper describes a scoping review of learning tools for integrating…

Kahn, Ken; Sendova, Evgenia; Sacristan, Ana Isabel; Noss, Richard – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2011
In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of computer programming activities aimed at introducing young students (9-13 years old) to the idea of infinity, and in particular, to the cardinality of infinite sets. This research was part of the "WebLabs" project where students from several European countries explored topics in…

Naidoo, N.; Naidoo, R. – Journal of College Teaching & Learning, 2007
Primary school learners' first encounters with mathematics in a traditional learning environment often create lifelong "math phobia."(Papert 1980) The situation in a country emerging from an oppressive education system designed to educationally disempower the majority of the population is much worse. The typical scenario in a previously…
