Xin Gong; Weiqi Xu; Ailing Qiao; Zhixia Li – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Robot programming can simultaneously cultivate learners' computational thinking (CT) and spatial thinking (ST). However, there is a noticeable gap in research focusing on the micro-level development patterns of learners' CT and ST and their interconnections. Objectives: This study aims to uncover the intricate development patterns and…
