Chenyue Wang; Chang Lu; Fu Chen; Xueliang Liu; Qin Zhao; Shuai Wang – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Computational thinking (CT) competency is essential for K-12 students in the digital societies. Understanding the relationship between students' CT and relevant factors contributes to implementing and improving CT education. Most previous studies investigated the effect of demographic or attitudinal factors on CT performance; whereas few research…

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…

Zhang, Shuhan; Wong, Gary K. W.; Chan, Peter C. F. – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Coding games are widely used to teach computational thinking (CT). Studies have broadly investigated the role of coding games in supporting CT learning in formal classroom contexts, but there has been limited exploration of their use in informal home-based settings. This study investigated the factors that motivated students to use a coding game…

Mensure Alkis Küçükaydin; Hakan Çite; Hakan Ulum – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Students enter the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pipeline in primary school, but leak out of it over time for various reasons. To prevent leaks, it is important to understand the variables that affect attitudes towards STEM learning from an early age. This study sought to examine the predictors of young students' STEM…
