Direct linkBerland, Matthew; Duncan, Sean – Educational Technology, 2016
Surprisingly few empirical studies address how computational thinking works "in the wild" or how games and simulations can support developing computational thinking skills. In this article, the authors report results from a study of computational thinking (CT) as evinced through player discussions around the collaborative board game…

Strang, Harold R.; Loper, Ann Booker – Educational Technology, 1983
Describes the hardware and software, typical application, future use, and initial results of an evaluation of a program which enables future teachers to practice their teaching skills on microcomputer-simulated students. These "students" are programed with such characteristics as enthusiasm and prior knowledge and are able to interact.…
