Gerard Dummer; Elwin Savelsbergh; Paul Drijvers – Informatics in Education, 2025
Programmed control systems are ubiquitous in the present-day world. In current educational practice, however, these systems are hardly being addressed, and little is known about children's spontaneous understandings about such systems. Therefore, we explored pupils' understandings prior to instruction in three concrete settings: a car park, an…

Rafael Herrero-Álvarez; Rafael Arnay; Eduardo Segredo; Gara Miranda; Coromoto Leon – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2025
RoblockLLy is an educational robotics simulator designed for primary and secondary school students, whose goal is to increase their interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. In the particular case of computer science, it allows developing computational thinking skills. It has been designed with ease of use in mind. This free…

Kiliç, Servet; Çakiroglu, Ünal – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2023
Since teaching robotics in schools is still new for teachers, studies on how to integrate computational thinking concepts in robotics courses are still rare. In this direction, teacher training sessions for teaching robotics should be visited. Accordingly, in this exploratory case study, a professional development program for teachers was…

Kert, Serhat Bahadir; Yeni, Sabiha; Fatih Erkoç, Mehmet – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
Computational thinking (CT) and computer science (CS) are becoming more widely adopted in K-12 education. However, there is a lack of focus on CT and CS access for children with disabilities. This study investigates the effect of the robot development process at the secondary school level on the algorithmic thinking and mental rotation skills of…

Souza, Isabelle M. L.; Andrade, Wilkerson L.; Sampaio, Lívia M. R. – Informatics in Education, 2022
Nowadays, solving problems is substantial for the social relationship human. Computational Thinking (CT) emerges as an interdisciplinary thought process encompassing mental abilities to help students solve and understand problems. Researchers invest in the methodological proposal of activities aimed at CT stimulation, educational approaches, and…

Dorotea, Nuno; Piedade, João; Pedro, Ana – Education Sciences, 2021
This paper reports a case study, developed in K-12 Portuguese Education, that aimed to analyze the computer science teachers' knowledge, interest, and self-confidence to use educational robotics and other programable objects in classroom activities to teach computer science concepts and to promote students' computational thinking skills. The…

Cervantes, Karen T.; Magno, Maritess T.; Monto, Jose, Jr. – Online Submission, 2022
Class sizes are vital to the conducive learning of students. As this study aimed to identify the difference in robotics teachers' evaluations depending on the class size number. Also, this research is focused on the evaluation of the teachers teaching Robotics at St. Dominic College of Asia. The instrument used is the standard teacher evaluation…

Sapounidis, Theodosios; Stamovlasis, Dimitrios; Demetriadis, Stavros – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2019
Contribution: Prior studies on tangible versus graphical user interfaces have reported controversial findings concerning children's preferences. This paper shows that their preference profiles in the domain of introductory programming are associated with gender and age for both interfaces. Background: The relevant literature mainly consists of…

Merkouris, Alexandros; Chorianopoulos, Konstantinos; Kameas, Achilles – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2017
Pedagogy has emphasized that physical representations and tangible interactive objects benefit learning especially for young students. There are many tangible hardware platforms for introducing computer programming to children, but there is limited comparative evaluation of them in the context of a formal classroom. In this work, we explore the…

High School Students' Views on the PBL Activities Supported via Flipped Classroom and LEGO Practices
Cukurbasi, Baris; Kiyici, Mubin – Educational Technology & Society, 2018
The purpose of this study was to investigate the high school students' views on instructions based on Flipped Classroom Model (FC) and LEGO applications. The case study, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used within the scope of the study, the duration of which was 7 weeks. In order to choose the research group of the study,…

Major, Louis – Online Submission, 2010
Teaching computer programming to novices is a difficult task due to the complex nature of the subject, as negative stereotypes are associated with programming and because introductory programming courses often fail to encourage student understanding. This Protocol outlines the plan that is to be followed in order to investigate the effectiveness…
