Jin, Hao-Yue; Cutumisu, Maria – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) skills of pre-service teachers have been explored extensively, but the effectiveness of CT training has yielded mixed results in previous studies. Thus, it is necessary to identify patterns in the relationships between predictors of CT and CT skills to further support CT development. This study developed an online CT…

Arican, Muhammet; Özçakir, Bilal – Education and Information Technologies, 2021
The literature reports preservice teachers' overuse of proportionality when solving geometric similarity problems with nonproportional relationships. Changing this type of error is reported as difficult even after applying certain interventions. As a solution to this type of error, this study used augmented reality activities to facilitate the…
