Direct linkMinji Jeon; Kyungbin Kwon – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2024
This study investigated the computational thinking (CT) practices of eight pre-service teachers through their Scratch and Python programs. Conducted within an undergraduate-level computer science education course, students learned CT concepts via parallel instruction in block-based programming (Scratch) and text-based programming (Python). The…

Akcaoglu, Mete – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2016
Design involves solving complex, ill-structured problems. Design tasks are consequently, appropriate contexts for children to exercise higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills. Although creating engaging and authentic design contexts for young children is difficult within the confines of traditional schooling, recently, game-design has…
