Belén Ramírez de Arellano Falcón; Javier del Olmo-Muñoz; Ramón Cózar-Gutiérrez; José Antonio González-Calero – Asia Pacific Education Review, 2025
Computational thinking is becoming an essential skill in educational systems. There is, however, still a great deal to learn about it. This research aims to evaluate whether the inclusion of a specific material (Junior School Bebras Cards) favors the development of primary students' computational thinking skills. For this purpose, 37 fourth-grade…

Gerard Dummer; Elwin Savelsbergh; Paul Drijvers – Informatics in Education, 2025
Programmed control systems are ubiquitous in the present-day world. In current educational practice, however, these systems are hardly being addressed, and little is known about children's spontaneous understandings about such systems. Therefore, we explored pupils' understandings prior to instruction in three concrete settings: a car park, an…

I. Gede Wira Bayu; I. Wayan Widiana; I. Kadek Yudiana – Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction, 2023
The low scientific literacy in students is due to several factors such as lack of motivation, negative attitudes towards teachers, low self-esteem, and lack of confidence in self-ability. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Numbered Head Together (NHT) learning model based on the Growth Mindset of scientific literacy and learning…

Hans-Stefan Siller; Sagheer Ahmad – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2024
Mathematics has been crucial to learning and extending the frontiers of knowledge in all academic areas. At the elementary level, several teaching approaches have been implemented to improve students' mathematical achievement. However, compared to traditional teaching exposition techniques, the teaching with the use of math manipulatives has been…

Yuan-Chen Liu; Tzu-Hua Huang; Chien-Chia Huang – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
In this study, an interactive programming learning environment was built with two types of error prompt functions: 1) the key prompt and 2) step-by-step prompt. A quasi-experimental study was conducted for five weeks, in which 75 sixth grade students from disadvantaged learning environments in Taipei, Taiwan, were divided into three groups: 1) the…
