Strawhacker, Amanda; Bers, Marina Umaschi – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2019
Computer programming for young children has grown in popularity among both educators and product developers, but still relatively little is known about what skills children are developing when they code. This study investigated N = 57 Kindergarten through second grade children's performance on a programming assessment after engaging in a 6-week…
