Middle school students often enter Computer Science (CS) classes without previous CS or Computational Thinking (CT) instruction. This study evaluated how Code.org's block-based programming curriculum affects middle school students' CT skills and attitudes toward CT and CS. Sixteen students participated in the study. This was a mixed methods action…

Agbo, Friday Joseph; Oyelere, Solomon Sunday; Suhonen, Jarkko; Laine, Teemu H. – Education and Information Technologies, 2021
Understanding the principles of computational thinking (CT), e.g., problem abstraction, decomposition, and recursion, is vital for computer science (CS) students. Unfortunately, these concepts can be difficult for novice students to understand. One way students can develop CT skills is to involve them in the design of an application to teach CT.…

Ríos Félix, José Mario; Zatarain Cabada, Ramón; Barrón Estrada, María Lucía – Education and Information Technologies, 2020
Digital literacy is a need for our current society. In Mexico, digital incursion programs are barely implemented, which represents an educational delay compared to other countries that have faced the need to integrate the teaching of digital skills, in a wide range of educational levels. This paper presents a learning environment of Computational…
