Radloff, Jeffrey; Hall, Jacob A. – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Recent US science standards conceptualize science as a set of shared multidisciplinary ideas and practices in common with engineering and computer science (CS). At the core, this portrayal requires an understanding of CS as a viable career path and set of discrete knowledge and skills, including those related to computer programming. However,…

Chao Qin; Mengli Zhang; Zhixin Li; Luxin Chen – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Artificial intelligence (AI) is being deeply integrated into human society. In the future, human collaboration with AI is inevitable. Therefore, exploring the attitudes of future workers--represented by current K-12 children--towards AI has become crucial. Robots stand as typical representatives of AI. Robot programming education is an important…

Gozukucuk, Meral; Gunbas, Nilgun – Journal of Education, 2022
The purpose of this study is to contribute to preservice teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). For this purpose, preservice teachers (n = 8) learned visual programming language, designed technology-based reading activities, and observed students completing these activities. A case study approach was employed, and…

Kim, Yeolib; Jeong, Hye In – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
The recent push to introduce coding in early childhood education has been the subject of heated debate. A lack of theoretical and empirical research devoted to understanding coding education acceptance provided the motivation for this article. As a way to engage in the debate, this article investigated kindergarten teachers' acceptance of coding…
