Francesco C. Ugolini; Panagiotis Kakavas – Research on Education and Media, 2024
This study consists of a 17-year (2006-2021) systematic literature review on the effective instructional strategies for developing Computational Thinking (CT) in primary school students (K-5). The aim of this paper is to identify instructional strategies that have been implemented and evaluated by means of a pre- and post-test, with the aim of…

Alqahtani, Muteb M.; Hall, Jacob A.; Leventhal, Maryssa; Argila, Alyssa N. – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2022
While programming was introduced to mathematics classrooms in the 1980s, emerging robotic technologies have encouraged more widespread integration of these technologies to support the development of K-12 students' mathematical reasoning. The recent emphasis of programming and computational thinking in K-12 education has highlighted the need to…

Durak, Gürhan; Cankaya, Serkan; Yunkul, Eyup; Ozturk, Gülcan – Online Submission, 2017
Despite the widespread use of Social Learning Networks (SLNs), there is little research on the effectiveness of these sites in related literature. Therefore, there is a need for studies investigating but use of SLNs in educational environments and their effects on learners' academic achievements. In this study, the purpose was to investigate the…

Moreno-León, Jesús; Robles, Gregorio; Román-González, Marcos – Journal of Information Technology Education: Research, 2016
The introduction of computer programming in K-12 has become mainstream in the last years, as countries around the world are making coding part of their curriculum. Nevertheless, there is a lack of empirical studies that investigate how learning to program at an early age affects other school subjects. In this regard, this paper compares three…
