Chen, Peng; Yang, Dong; Metwally, Ahmed Hosny Saleh; Lavonen, Jari; Wang, Xiao – International Journal of STEM Education, 2023
Unplugged activities as a low-cost solution to foster computational thinking (CT) skills seem to be a trend in recent years. However, current evidence of the effectiveness of unplugged activities in promoting students' CT skills has been inconsistent. To understand the potential of unplugged activities on computational thinking skills, a…

Dagli, Zerrin; Sancar Tokmak, Hatice – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2022
The importance of developing individuals' computational thinking (CT) skills has given rise to many practices and research and development initiatives. Although there is a considerable volume of research on improving students' CT skills, remarkably little is known about teachers' design work to improve students' CT skills. This multiple case study…

Lai, Xiaoyan; Ye, Jiachu; Wong, Gary Ka Wai – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Collaboration has commonly been integrated in computational thinking education to foster novice learning. While the majority of existing studies on developing students' CT skills have been based on competency or personality factors, social factors have been largely ignored. Objectives: This systematic review, framed by social cognitive…

Alejandro Espinal; Camilo Vieira; Alejandra J. Magana – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2024
This paper presents a systematic literature review of professional development programs in computational thinking (CT). CT has emerged as an essential set of skills that everyone should develop to participate in a global society. However, there were no pre-service or in-service teacher programs to integrate CT into the K-12 classrooms until very…

Sun, Lihui; Hu, Linlin; Zhou, Danhua – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
Promoting the cultivation of computational thinking (CT) skills in programming activities has become a key issue in the K-12 curriculum, however, there is no unified conclusion on how to design programming activities to promote the acquisition of CT skills more effectively. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using…

Qian, Yingxiao; Choi, Ikseon – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
Echoing the increasing emphasis on STEM literacy, computational thinking has become a national priority in K-12 schools. Scholars have acknowledged abstraction as the keystone of computational thinking. To foster K-12 students' computational thinking and STEM literacy, students' ability to think abstractly should be enhanced. However, the existing…

Palts, Tauno; Pedaste, Margus – Informatics in Education, 2020
Computer science concepts have an important part in other subjects and thinking computationally is being recognized as an important skill for everyone, which leads to the increasing interest in developing computational thinking (CT) as early as at the comprehensive school level. Therefore, research is needed to have a common understanding of CT…

Sung, Euisuk – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2019
Computational thinking has been popularized in the last decade, particularly with the emphasis on coding education in K-12 schools. The core idea of computational thinking has a close relationship with technology and engineering education (TEE). TEE has emphasized the use of computing skills to solve problems, and integrative STEM education…

Buitrago Flórez, Francisco; Casallas, Rubby; Hernández, Marcela; Reyes, Alejandro; Restrepo, Silvia; Danies, Giovanna – Review of Educational Research, 2017
Computational thinking (CT) uses concepts that are essential to computing and information science to solve problems, design and evaluate complex systems, and understand human reasoning and behavior. This way of thinking has important implications in computer sciences as well as in almost every other field. Therefore, we contend that CT should be…

Ellingsen, Ryleigh; Clinton, Elias – Educational Research Quarterly, 2017
This manuscript reviews the empirical literature of the TouchMath© instructional program. The TouchMath© program is a commercial mathematics series that uses a dot notation system to provide multisensory instruction of computation skills. Using the program, students are taught to solve computational tasks in a multisensory manner that does not…
