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…

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…

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.…

Yanjun Pan; Elizabeth L. Adams; Leanne R. Ketterlin-Geller; Eric C. Larson; Corey Clark – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Computational thinking is acknowledged as an essential competency for everyone to learn. However, teachers find it challenging to implement the existing learning approaches in K-12 settings because the existing approaches often focus on teaching computing concepts and skills (i.e., programming skills) rather than on helping students develop their…

Tzur, Ron; Harrington, Cody; DeBay, Dennis; Davis, Alan – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
Through a constructivist teaching experiment, we studied how a 6th-grade student (Adam, pseudonym) struggling in mathematics may reorganize his available additive scheme (count-up-to) into a more advanced scheme involving the decomposition of composite units (break-apart-make-ten, or BAMT). First, we posed a task that led us to infer Adam was yet…
