Kong, Siu-Cheung, Ed.; Abelson, Harold, Ed. – MIT Press, 2022
Computing has become an essential part of today's primary and secondary school curricula. In recent years, K-12 computer education has shifted from computer science itself to the broader perspective of computational thinking (CT), which is less about technology than a way of thinking and solving problems--"a fundamental skill for everyone,…

Kiliç, Servet; Çakiroglu, Ünal – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2023
Since teaching robotics in schools is still new for teachers, studies on how to integrate computational thinking concepts in robotics courses are still rare. In this direction, teacher training sessions for teaching robotics should be visited. Accordingly, in this exploratory case study, a professional development program for teachers was…

Chih-Hung Chen; Hsiang-Yu Chung – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
Computational thinking (CT) has gained considerable attention and in-depth discussion over the last two decades. Although the significance of CT has been highlighted, it could be challenging for educators to teach CT. Fortunately, adopting robots in education has been evidenced to be of benefit to promoting students' learning motivation, CT, and…

Su, Jiahong; Yang, Weipeng; Li, Hui – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2023
Coding (or computer programming) helps equip children with an intellectual structure that is valuable for their lifelong learning and development. The proliferation of innovative coding platforms, especially screen-free programmable robotics, has made it possible for coding to be integrated into early childhood education (ECE). However, how the…

Weipeng Yang – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
Computational Thinking (CT) is essential for developing creativity, problem-solving, and digital competence in the 21st century. Coding tools like robotic toys and tablet apps have become popular in early childhood education to support CT development, but there is a debate on which tool is more effective. Little evidence exists on the effect of…
