Barlow, Elizabeth K.; Barlow, Angela T.; Nadelson, Louis S. – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2023
Advancements in computing have led to increased interest in integrating computational thinking in the K-12 curriculum. Computational thinking can be defined as a problem-solving process with the goal of developing algorithms that can be coded for computer use. With its emphasis on problem solving, the processes associated with computational…

PaeBens, Jessica; Ma, Beifang; Winther, Esther – International Journal for Research in Vocational Education and Training, 2023
Context: Dealing with professional complexity has been of scientific interest in the research field of vocational education and training for decades. So far, there is a lack of empirical evidence regarding how professional complexity finds its way into learning processes in VET. A common option is to model complexity through authentic simulations…

Javier Del Olmo-Muñoz; Pascual D. Diago; David Arnau; David Arnau-Blasco; José Antonio González-Calero – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
This research, following a sequential mixed-methods design, delves into metacognitive control in problem solving among 5- to 6-year-olds, using two floor-robot environments. In an initial qualitative phase, 82 pupils participated in tasks in which they directed a floor robot to one of two targets, with the closer target requiring more cognitive…

Xin Gong; Weiqi Xu; Shufan Yu; Jingjing Ma; Ailing Qiao – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2025
Tangible programming tools have become a mainstream teaching aid in gamification programming learning (GPL) due to their interactivity and ability to enhance novice learners' computational thinking and spatial reasoning skills. However, comparing the relative efficacy of different programming tools that simultaneously support these skills was not…

Arici, Faruk; Yilmaz, Mehmet – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Augmented reality (AR) is a widely used technology in science education today. Problem-based learning (PBL) is one of the teaching methods employed in science education for a long time. Studies where AR and PBL are used together are new and rare. PBL and AR technology are used together in the study because it is believed that…

Creativity and problem-solving are 21st-century skills that we need to develop in our students. Research on computational thinking (CT) integration in school subjects and STEAM activities has shown a positive effect on students' problem-solving skills and creativity. Our study extends our previous work from the integration of CT in a mathematics…

Huang, Yueh-Min; Silitonga, Lusia M.; Murti, Astrid T.; Wu, Ting-Ting – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) are reliable predictors of success in school and the workplace. A typical technique for encouraging higher-order thinking is to use instructional design interventions that engage learners in simple cognitive activities. Business simulation game (BSG) is one of the types of interactive learning environments that…

Kyungbin Kwon; Thomas A. Brush; Keunjae Kim; Minhwi Seo – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2025
This study examined the effects of embodied learning experiences on students' understanding of computational thinking (CT) concepts and their ability to solve CT problems. In a mixed-reality learning environment, students mapped CT concepts, such as sequencing and loops, onto their bodily movements. These movements were later applied to robot…

Arican, Muhammet; Özçakir, Bilal – Education and Information Technologies, 2021
The literature reports preservice teachers' overuse of proportionality when solving geometric similarity problems with nonproportional relationships. Changing this type of error is reported as difficult even after applying certain interventions. As a solution to this type of error, this study used augmented reality activities to facilitate the…

Merve Aydin; Ünal Çakiroglu – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Students experience higher-order thinking skills by finding ways to solve the problem, debugging errors while applying the solution, and testing the solution in programming. However, the inability to create schemas that will characterise programming structures is one of the difficulties during this process. Objectives: This study aimed…
