Zhou, Ying; Chai, Ching Sing; Li, Xiuting; Ma, Chao; Li, Baoping; Yu, Ding; Liang, Jyh-Chong – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Computational thinking is a way of thinking that helps people "think like a computer scientist" to solve practical problems. However, practicing computational thinking through programming is dependent on the problem solvers' metacognition. This study investigated students' metacognitive planning and problem-solving performance in…
