Spencer, Deborah; Mark, June; Reed, Kristen; Goldenberg, Paul; Coleman, Kate; Chiappinelli, Kathryn; Kolar, Zachary – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
As computer-science-for-all initiatives continue to grow, many schools are looking for ways to introduce computer science skills and thinking to elementary-age children. Some initiatives have focused on coding as its own endeavor, not integrated with other subjects like mathematics, science, or literacy. Increasingly, developers and researchers…

Peter Francis Moon – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Computational thinking (CT) has great potential for enhancing mathematics and science lessons in K-12 education. Numerous studies demonstrate that under the right circumstances, CT integration in math and science can improve student learning and promote deeper understanding. However, teacher education currently does not include preparation for…
