Shen, Ji; Chen, Guanhua; Barth-Cohen, Lauren; Jiang, Shiyan; Eltoukhy, Moataz – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2022
Computational thinking (CT) has been advocated as an essential problem solving skill students need to develop. Emphasizing on CT applied in both programming and everyday contexts, we developed a humanoid robotics curriculum and a computerized assessment instrument. We implemented the curriculum with six classes of 125 fifth graders. Quantitative…
