Ng, Oi-Lam; Leung, Allen; Ye, Huiyan – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2023
Programming is an interdisciplinary practice with applications in both mathematics and computer science. Mathematics concerns rigor, abstraction, and generalization. Computer science predominantly concerns efficiency, concreteness, and physicality. This makes programming a medium for problem solving that mediates between mathematics and computer…

Hutchins, Nicole M.; Biswas, Gautam; Zhang, Ningyu; Snyder, Caitlin; Lédeczi, Ákos; Maróti, Miklós – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2020
Driven by our technologically advanced workplaces and the surge in demand for proficiency in the computing disciplines, it is becoming imperative to provide computational thinking (CT) opportunities to all students. One approach for making computing accessible and relevant to learning and problem-solving in K-12 environments is to integrate it…

Tan, Wee-Ling; Samsudin, Mohd Ali; Ismail, Mohd Erfy; Ahmad, Nur Jahan; Abdul Talib, Corrienna – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
This study examined the effectiveness of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) integrated approach via Scratch on five subconstructs of computational thinking (CT) among 29 male and 30 female students. A quasi-experimental design was employed in the research. The participants demonstrated the application of CT in designing…

Kakavas, Panagiotis; Ugolini, Francesco C. – Research on Education and Media, 2019
This study presents a 13-year (2006-2018) systematic literature review related to the way that computational thinking (CT) has grown in elementary level education students (K-6) with the intention to: (a) present an overview of the educational context/setting where CT has been implemented, (b) identify the learning context that CT is used in…

Means, Barbara M., Ed.; Stephens, Amy, Ed. – National Academies Press, 2021
Computing in some form touches nearly every aspect of day to day life and is reflected in the ubiquitous use of cell phones, the expansion of automation into many industries, and the vast amounts of data that are routinely gathered about people's health, education, and buying habits. Computing is now a part of nearly every occupation, not only…

Israel, Maya; Wherfel, Quentin M.; Pearson, Jamie; Shehab, Saadeddine; Tapia, Tanya – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2015
This article's focus is on including computing and computational thinking in K-12 instruction within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, and to provide that instruction in ways that promote access for students traditionally underrepresented in the STEM fields, such as students with disabilities. Providing computing…
