Integrating the Unplugged Programming and Storytelling Strategy to Enhance Second Graders' Programming Learning Motivation and Concepts
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Yun-An Chen; Fu-Pei Hsieh; Chun-Yen Tsai – Educational Technology & Society, 2024
An intervention using the unplugged programming and storytelling (UPS) strategy was implemented in this study to cultivate students' programming learning motivation and concepts. The participants were 49 second graders at a primary school in southern Taiwan. The course was conducted for 12 lessons (40 min each lesson). A quasi-experimental design…

Computational Thinking as a Foundation for Coding: Developing Student Engagement and Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Baroutsis, Aspa; White, Sonia L. J.; Ferdinands, Ella; Goldsmith, William; Lambert, Elizabeth – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2019
Computational thinking can be defined as "solving problems, designing systems, and understanding human behaviour, by drawing on the concepts fundamental to computer science" (Wing, 2006, p. 33). There are strong links between computational thinking associated with coding and mathematical thinking (Wing, 2006). The digital technologies…

Measuring Development of Young Students' Coding Ability through a Graphical Teaching Intervention: Further Explanation of the Effect of Coding Experience and Coding Interest
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lihui Sun; Zhen Guo; Danhua Zhou – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Coding ability has become an essential digital skill for young children. The graphical programming environment is valuable carrier for cultivating children's coding ability. The purpose of this study is to develop a coding ability test for children, to conduct a graphic coding intervention, and to further explore the impact of multiple factors on…

Cervera, Núria; Diago, Pascual D.; Orcos, Lara; Yáñez, Dionisio F. – Education Sciences, 2020
Educational robotics are commonly present in kindergarten and primary school classrooms, particularly Bee-bot. Its ease of use allows the introduction of computer programming to young children in educational contexts from a science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) perspective. Despite this rise, there are still few…

Teaching Programming and Mathematics in Practice: A Case Study from a Swedish Primary School
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Stigberg, Henrik; Stigberg, Susanne – Policy Futures in Education, 2020
Programming and computational thinking have emerged as compulsory skills in elementary school education. In 2018, Sweden has integrated programming in mathematics education with the rationale that it fosters problem solving and logical thinking skills and motivates students to learn mathematics. We investigated how teachers introduce programming…

Code to Learn: Where Does It Belong in the K-12 Curriculum?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Moreno-León, Jesús; Robles, Gregorio; Román-González, Marcos – Journal of Information Technology Education: Research, 2016
The introduction of computer programming in K-12 has become mainstream in the last years, as countries around the world are making coding part of their curriculum. Nevertheless, there is a lack of empirical studies that investigate how learning to program at an early age affects other school subjects. In this regard, this paper compares three…
