Chen, Yu-Chi; Chao, Chi-Yu; Hou, Huei-Tse – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Pattern recognition is an important skill in computational thinking. In this study, an equation puzzle game was developed by combining pattern recognition with algebraic reasoning, and scaffolding was designed to support learners' learning. Sixty participants were enrolled in this study, divided into a control group and an experimental group to…
