Computational Thinking as a Foundation for Coding: Developing Student Engagement and Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Baroutsis, Aspa; White, Sonia L. J.; Ferdinands, Ella; Goldsmith, William; Lambert, Elizabeth – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2019
Computational thinking can be defined as "solving problems, designing systems, and understanding human behaviour, by drawing on the concepts fundamental to computer science" (Wing, 2006, p. 33). There are strong links between computational thinking associated with coding and mathematical thinking (Wing, 2006). The digital technologies…

Preston, Christine – Teaching Science, 2020
This paper details a digital technology solution to a problem that arose during a science lesson in an early years class. The teacher used the opportunity to enable the children to apply their knowledge and skills of a software application developed in a recent ICT class. Using the age-appropriate app, the students could communicate their learning…

Kusaka, Satoshi – Journal of Education and Learning, 2021
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) education has been actively implemented around the world recently. ICT curriculum in schools is intended to improve students' programming-oriented thinking rather than to train them as programmers. The core of ICT education is 'computational thinking'. Computational thinking is taking an approach to…

Humanoid Robots: Learning a Programming Language to Learn a Traditional Language
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Keane, Therese; Chalmers, Christina; Boden, Marie; Williams, Monica – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2019
This research is part of a larger three-year study investigating the impact of humanoid robots on students' learning and engagement. In this case study, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students worked with a humanoid robot to develop, in parallel, both their programming skills and their understanding of the traditional Narungga language and culture.…

How Young Children Learn to Program with Sensor, Action, and Logic Blocks
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wyeth, Peta – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2008
Electronic Blocks are a new programming environment designed specifically for children aged between 3 and 8 years. These physical, stackable blocks include sensor blocks, action blocks, and logic blocks. By connecting these blocks, children can program a wide variety of structures that interact with one another and the environment. Electronic…
