Brush, Thomas; Ottenbreit-Leftwich, Anne; Kwon, Kyungbin; Karlin, Michael – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2020
The focus of this research project was to examine how problem- based learning (PBL) impacts students' interest and knowledge in computer science (CS) at the elementary level. By focusing on a problem that emphasizes social activism, we hypothesized that PBL CS could increase interest for students. We employed an iterative design-based research…
