Gary K. W. Wong; Shan Jian; Ho-Yin Cheung – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
This study examined the developmental process of children's computational thinking using block-based programming tools, specifically algorithmic thinking and debugging skills. With this aim, a group of children (N = 191) from two primary schools were studied for two years beginning from the fourth grade, as they engaged in our block-based…

Selena Steinberg; Melissa Gresalfi; Lauren Vogelstein; Corey Brady – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2024
This paper considers how a curricular design that integrated computer programming and creative movement shaped students' engagement with computing. We draw on data from a camp for middle schoolers, focusing on an activity in which students used the programming environment NetLogo to re-represent their physical choreography. We analyze the extent…

Transfer of Responsibility from Scaffolding to Preservice Early Childhood Teachers Learning to Debug
Brian R. Belland; ChanMin Kim; Emre Dinç; Anna Y. Zhang – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Computer science is often integrated within early childhood education (ECE) through the use of educational robots. This requires adequate preparation of ECE teachers to program and debug, which can be done with scaffolding. In this paper, we use a QUANT + qual mixed method approach incorporating lag sequential analysis, ICAP framework coding,…

Zhanxia Yang; Marina Bers – Computer Science Education, 2024
Background and Context: Historically, women have been underrepresented in computer science. To address this gender gap, researchers advocate for high-quality computer science programs for early childhood. Objectives: This study examines gender differences in coding performance before and after implementing a 24-lesson visual programming curriculum…
