Steven Floyd – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2023
In this article, the relatively new phenomenon of integrating coding and computer science (CS) related concepts and skills into the K-8 grades is analysed through a comparative analysis of related provincial curriculum initiatives in Canada. First, provincial K-8 curricula that include coding and CS related concepts and skills are identified, as…

Sofiia Kagan; Denis Dumas – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2025
Creative activities are typically thought to be positively associated with creative ability, whether because more creative individuals select into creative activities, or because those activities support the development of creativity, or both. However, the PISA 2022 creative thinking report revealed an unexpected finding: Creative ability was…

Lin, Yu-Tzu; Yeh, Martin K.-C.; Tan, Sheng-Rong – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
Contribution: Programming is a complex cognitive activity that involves both conceptual understanding and procedural skills, which is challenging for novices. To develop both program comprehension and implementation competency, this study proposed a live-coding-based instruction. Experts' live coding with think-aloud was recorded. Students then…

Gorman, Garry; McKelvey, Nigel; Dowling, Thomas C. – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2022
This paper describes a growth mind-set intervention with Junior Cycle Coding students in a disadvantaged school in Ireland. This intervention builds on the work of O'Rourke et al. (2016) and applies findings to a computer programming setting where gamification is used to incentivise growth mind-set behaviour in students learning to code. Data…

Elif Çelik; Sevim Sevgi – Journal of Educational Technology and Online Learning, 2025
This research investigates the impact of mathematical problems created with Scratch on the problem-solving skills of 8th-grade middle school students. The research was based on the descriptive design of mixed research approaches. In this direction, the research model was single-group pretest-posttest design, which is a weak experimental design…

Qing Li; Mahnaz Moallem; Jeremy Boettinger; Qijie Cai; Michael Levi – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2025
Aiming to promote equity in computing, this study proposes an educational model that offers an alternative approach to inspire K-12 students to become interested in CS and develop their computational thinking (CT) skills. It also examines the experience of marginalized students during the COVID pandemic in a learning environment grounded in the…

Threekunprapam, Arinchaya; Yasri, Pratchayapong – European Journal of Educational Research, 2020
Using unplugged coding activities to promote computational thinking (CT) among secondary learners has become increasingly popular. Benefits of using unplugged coding activities involve the cost-effective implementation, the ability to promote computer science concepts and self-efficacy in learning computer programming, and the engaging nature of…

Lazarinis, Fotis; Karachristos, Christoforos V.; Stavropoulos, Elias C.; Verykios, Vassilios S. – Education and Information Technologies, 2019
In this paper we report our experiences from a University outreach program with primary and secondary education teachers of various specialties. Our goal was to improve the coding abilities of teachers through Scratch activities. The participants can in turn teach their students, multiplying that way the benefitted population. To increase the…

Wright, John C.; Knight, Victoria F.; Barton, Erin E.; Edwards-Bowyer, Meghan – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2021
Video-based modeling is an evidence-based practice for teaching social and communication skills, functional and daily living skills, and some academic skills (i.e., math) to students with autism spectrum disorder. The efficacy of video-based modeling, however, has not yet been established for STEM skills related to science, technology, or…

Colon-Acosta, Nirmaliz – ProQuest LLC, 2019
As new introductory block-based coding applications for young students to learn basic computer science concepts, such as, loops and conditionals, continue to increase in popularity, it is necessary to consider the best method of teaching students these skills. Many of these products continue to exhibit programmatic misconceptions of these concepts…

Lussi Borer, Valérie; Flandin, Simon; Muller, Alain – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2018
This article presents a study of individual video-based educational sessions with secondary trainee teachers (N = 30) observing others' teaching. Within a Peircian semiotic framework, the study was designed to deepen the researchers' understanding of video-enhanced experience in educational settings beyond the usual research areas of noticing,…

Lui, Debora; Walker, Justice T.; Hanna, Sheri; Kafai, Yasmin B.; Fields, Deborah; Jayathirtha, Gayithri – Interactive Learning Environments, 2020
Portfolios have recently gained traction within computer science education as a way to assess students' computational thinking and practices. Whereas traditional assessments such as exams tend to capture learning within artificial settings at a single point in time, portfolios provide more authentic opportunities to document a trajectory of…

Saucerman, Jenny; Ruis, A. R.; Shaffer, David Williamson – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2017
Learning to solve "complex problems"--problems whose solutions require the application of more than basic facts and skills--is critical to meaningful participation in the economic, social, and cultural life of the digital age. In this paper, we use a theoretical understanding of how professionals use reflection-in-action to solve complex…
