Types of Errors in Block Programming: Driven by Learner, Learning Environment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ben-Yaacov, Anat; Hershkovitz, Arnon – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Block programming has been suggested as a way of engaging young learners with the foundations of programming and computational thinking in a syntax-free manner. Indeed, syntax errors--which form one of two broad categories of errors in programming, the other one being logic errors--are omitted while block programming. However, this does not mean…

How Do Students Develop Computational Thinking? Assessing Early Programmers in a Maze-Based Online Game
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Guenaga, Mariluz; Eguíluz, Andoni; Garaizar, Pablo; Gibaja, Juanjo – Computer Science Education, 2021
Background and Context: Despite many initiatives to develop Computational Thinking (CT), not much is known about how early programmers develop CT and how we can assess their learning. Objective: Determine if the analysis of students' interactions with an online platform allows understanding the development of CT, how we can convert data collected…

Computational Thinking and Mathematics Using Scratch: An Experiment with Sixth-Grade Students
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Rodríguez-Martínez, José Antonio; González-Calero, José Antonio; Sáez-López, José Manuel – Interactive Learning Environments, 2020
The potential benefits from the introduction of programming environments such as "Scratch" for learning mathematics has reactivated research in this area. Nonetheless, there are few studies which attempt to analyse their influence at the stage of Primary Education. We present the results of a quasi-experimental piece of research with…

Cervera, Núria; Diago, Pascual D.; Orcos, Lara; Yáñez, Dionisio F. – Education Sciences, 2020
Educational robotics are commonly present in kindergarten and primary school classrooms, particularly Bee-bot. Its ease of use allows the introduction of computer programming to young children in educational contexts from a science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) perspective. Despite this rise, there are still few…

JolasMATIKA: An Experience for Teaching and Learning Computing Topics From University to Primary Education
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Larraza-Mendiluze, Edurne; Arbelaitz, Olatz; Arruarte, Ana; Lukas, Jose F.; Garay-Vitoria, Nestor – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2020
Contribution: A learning-by-teaching methodology through games can be used to promote informatics (computer science) in primary and secondary education. Applying the proposed activities can change students' perception of informatics from seeing it as merely using computers to seeing its relationship with mathematics. The experience can also help…

Code to Learn: Where Does It Belong in the K-12 Curriculum?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
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…
