Stella Xin Yin; Dion Hoe-Lian Goh; Choon Lang Quek – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
In the past decade, Computational Thinking (CT) education has received growing attention from researchers. Although many reviews have provided synthesized information on CT teaching and learning, few have paid particular attention to collaborative learning (CL) strategies. CL has been widely implemented in CT classes and has become the most…
