Chenyue Wang; Chang Lu; Fu Chen; Xueliang Liu; Qin Zhao; Shuai Wang – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Computational thinking (CT) competency is essential for K-12 students in the digital societies. Understanding the relationship between students' CT and relevant factors contributes to implementing and improving CT education. Most previous studies investigated the effect of demographic or attitudinal factors on CT performance; whereas few research…

Atman Uslu, Nilüfer – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
In recent years, computational thinking (CT) initiatives have been increasing in both research and practice. Although the importance of students' resilience and computational identity in the CT development process is recognized, more research is needed on their role on students' CT skills. Therefore, little is known about whether differences in…

Yin-Rong Zhang; Zhong-Mei Han; Tao He; Chang-Qin Huang; Fan Jiang; Gang Yang; Xue-Mei Wu – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Collaborative programming is important and challenging for K12 students. Scaffolding is a vital method to support students' collaborative programming learning. However, conventional scaffolding that does not fade may lead students to become overly dependent, resulting in unsatisfactory programming performance. Objectives: This study…

Chiao Ling Huang; Lianzi Fu; Shih-Chieh Hung; Shu Ching Yang – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Many studies have highlighted the positive effects of visual programming instruction (VPI) on students' learning experiences, programming self-efficacy and flow experience. However, there is a notable gap in the research on how these factors specifically impact programming achievement and learning intentions. Our study addresses this…

Wei Li; Cheng-Ye Liu; Judy C. R. Tseng – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
Collaborative programming helps improve students' computational thinking and increases their confidence in solving programming problems. However, the effect of collaborative learning is not ideal because it is difficult for students to mobilize metacognition to regulate learning spontaneously. To guide students to effectively regulate the learning…

Yildiz Durak, Hatice; Saritepeci, Mustafa; Durak, Aykut – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2023
Computational thinking skill is one of the basic skills required for every individual, such as reading and writing. For the development of CT, programming education is seen as the key. In the context of programming and CT relationship, it is very important to model individual characteristics and various affective variables with a holistic approach…

Experiencing Enjoyment in Visual Programming Tasks Promotes Self-Efficacy and Reduces the Gender Gap
Robbert Smit; Rahel Schmid; Nicolas Robin – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2025
Secondary school students (N = 269) participated in a daylong visual programming course held in a stimulating environment for start-up enterprises. The tasks were application-oriented and partly creative. For example, a wearable device with light-emitting diodes, (ie, LEDs) could be applied to a T-shirt and used for optical messages. Our research…

Caines Turnipseed, Melissa Arlette – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The computer science industry and college degree programs for computer science throughout the country suffer from the "pipeline shrinkage problem", which describes the declining number of qualified people in various industries (Kordaki & Berdousis, 2014). For computer science, the specific population decline relates to a shortage of…

Rachmatullah, Arif; Wiebe, Eric N. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
The inclusion of computational thinking (CT) into science curricula has advocated implementing a computationally rich science learning environment where students learn science via building models in a computer programming platform. Such an approach may influence teachers' self-efficacy for teaching science which may also be associated with their…
