Saxena, Anika; Lo, Chung Kwan; Hew, Khe Foon; Wong, Gary Ka Wai – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2020
Educators and policy makers have increasingly recognized the importance of computational thinking (CT). Despite the growing body of CT literature, how to cultivate CT is still underexplored and undertheorized in early childhood education. Informed by Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development, this exploratory study was conducted with a focus on…
