Carina Büscher – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
Computational thinking (CT) is becoming increasingly important as a learning content. Subject-integrated approaches aim to develop CT within other subjects like mathematics. The question is how exactly CT can be integrated and learned in mathematics classrooms. In a case study involving 12 sixth-grade learners, CT activities were explored that…

Kirçali, Aycan Çelik; Özdener, Nesrin – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2023
This study examines the effects of plugged and unplugged programming tools used in algorithm teaching at the K-12 level on student computational thinking skills and to determine whether gender is a factor in this process. The study group was designed with a control group pre-test--post-test; quasi-experimental model, that consisted of 109 students…

Ünal, Zehra E.; Ala, Asli M.; Kartal, Gamze; Özel, Serkan; Geary, David C. – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
Sixty (35 girls) ninth graders were assessed on measures of algebraic reasoning and usage of visual and symbolic representations (with a prompt for visual use) to solve equations and inequalities. The study grouped visual representations into two categories: arithmetic-visual, which entailed the use of real-world objects to represent specific…

Zhai, Xiaoming; Haudek, Kevin C.; Ma, Wenchao – Research in Science Education, 2023
In this study, we developed machine learning algorithms to automatically score students' written arguments and then applied the cognitive diagnostic modeling (CDM) approach to examine students' cognitive patterns of scientific argumentation. We abstracted three types of skills (i.e., attributes) critical for successful argumentation practice:…

Emre Zengin; Yasemin Karal – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2024
This study was carried out to develop a test to assess algorithmic thinking skills. To this end, the twelve steps suggested by Downing (2006) were adopted. Throughout the test development, 24 middle school sixth-grade students and eight experts in different areas took part as needed in the tasks on the project. The test was given to 252 students…

I Made Suarsana; Al Jupri; Didi Suryadi; Elah Nurlaelah; I Gusti Nyoman Yudi Hartawan – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2025
Mathematical and computational thinking (CT) are closely interrelated, yet CT integration into mathematics instruction remains limited. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the teaching process for straight-line equations in enhancing students' CT skills and to propose improvements based on the findings. A qualitative case study…

Wuwen Zhang; Yurong Guan; Zhihua Hu – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
In the context of our rapidly digitizing society, computational thinking stands out as an essential attribute for cultivating aptitude and expertise. Through the prism of computational thinking, learners are more adeptly positioned to dissect and navigate real-world challenges, poising them effectively to meet the exigencies of future societal…

Pei, Bo; Xing, Wanli; Zhu, Gaoxia; Antonyan, Kristine; Xie, Charles – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Infrared (IR) technologies have been universally acknowledged as a valuable pedagogical tool for exploring novel and abstract scientific subjects in science education. This study explores the roles of IR images played in middle school students' Evidence-based Reasoning (EBR) process in support of the understanding of the heat radiation process.…

Silvia Wen-Yu Lee; Jyh-Chong Liang; Chung-Yuan Hsu; Meng-Jung Tsai – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
While research has shown that students' epistemic beliefs can be a strong predictor of their academic performance, cognitive abilities, or self-efficacy, studies of this topic in computer education are rare. The purpose of this study was twofold. First, it aimed to validate a newly developed questionnaire for measuring students' epistemic beliefs…

Li, Jiansheng; Lin, Yuyu; Sun, Mingzhu; Shadiev, Rustam – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
This study examined whether socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL) enhances students' algorithmic thinking performance, promotes learning participation and improves students' learning attitudes through game-based collaborative learning. The students learned algorithmic knowledge and completed programing tasks using Kodu, a new visual…

Bubica, Nikolina; Boljat, Ivica – Informatics in Education, 2022
The new Croatian Informatics curriculum, which introduces computational thinking concepts into learning outcomes has been put into practice. A computational thinking assessment model reflecting the learning outcomes of the Croatian curriculum was created using an evidence-centered design approach. The possibility of assessing the computational…
