Tsai, Meng-Jung; Chien, Francis Pingfan; Wen-Yu Lee, Silvia; Hsu, Chung-Yuan; Liang, Jyh-Chong – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
This study aimed to develop the Computational Thinking Test for Elementary School Students (CTT-ES) to assess young children's CT competencies in non-programming contexts and also examine the relationship between CT competencies and CT dispositions. A survey including a pool of CTT-ES candidate items and the Computational Thinking Scale (CTS) was…

Wu, Sheng-Yi; Su, Yu-Sheng – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Currently, many countries actively cultivate students to develop computational thinking ability. Many visual programming environments (VPEs) and physical robot courses have been integrated into computational thinking learning in the elementary education stage. This study explores the relationship between the programming learning environment…

Gao, Xuemin; Hew, Khe Foon – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Reintroducing computer science (CS) education in K-12 schools to promote computational thinking (CT) has attracted significant attention among scholars and educators. Among the several essential components included in CS and CT education, program debugging is an indispensable skill. However, debugging teaching has often been overlooked in K-12…

Su, Yu-Sheng; Shao, Mingming; Zhao, Li – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
Scratch, a kind of visual programming software, has been widely used in instruction for primary school children. Scratch constructs a digital world for children to design, develop, and create coursework in which their creative thinking is fostered. Different instructional methods have been designed and implemented to stimulate children's creative…

Cui, Zhihao; Ng, Oi-Lam – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
In this paper, we explore the challenges experienced by a group of Primary 5 to 6 (age 12-14) students as they engaged in a series of problem-solving tasks through block-based programming. The challenges were analysed according to a taxonomy focusing on the presence of computational thinking (CT) elements in mathematics contexts: preparing…
