Li, Wei; Liu, Cheng-Ye; Tseng, Judy C. R. – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Collaborative programming can develop computational thinking and knowledge of computational programming. However, the researchers pointed out that because students often fail to mobilize metacognition to regulate and control their cognitive activities in a cooperation, this results in poor learning effects. Especially low-achieving students need…
