The concept, development and assessment of computational thinking have increasingly become the focus of research in recent years. Most of this type of research focuses on older children or adults. Preschool age is a sensitive period when many skills develop intensively, so the development of computational thinking skills can already begin at this…

This study examines the effects of plugged and unplugged programming tools used in algorithm teaching at the K-12 level on student computational thinking skills and to determine whether gender is a factor in this process. The study group was designed with a control group pre-test--post-test; quasi-experimental model, that consisted of 109 students…

This study developed a school-based AI curriculum suitable for senior high school students, with the primary objective of enhancing their mastery of knowledge and proficiency in AI, as well as their computational thinking abilities. The curriculum was designed with an awareness of the practical challenges encountered by the subject school in their…

As part of a broader information literacy agenda, academic libraries are interested in advancing algorithmic literacy. Folk theories of algorithmic decision-making systems, such as recommender systems, can provide insights into designing and delivering enhanced algorithmic literacy initiatives. Users of the Spotify music recommendation systems…

The purpose of this practicum was to determine if adult students engaged in training for high technology jobs can realize a time savings if customary or metric units of measure are used for practical mathematical calculations. Two quizzes were developed, and validated, using customary and metric units for the same type of problem, and the time to…
