Silvis, Deborah; Lee, Victor R.; Clarke-Midura, Jody; Shumway, Jessica F. – Information and Learning Sciences, 2022
Purpose: Much remains unknown about how young children orient to computational objects and how we as learning scientists can orient to young children as computational thinkers. While some research exists on how children learn programming, very little has been written about how they learn the technical skills needed to operate technologies or to…

Fatini Jisma Fakaruddin; Edy Hafizan Mohd Shahali; Rohaida Mohd Saat – Asia Pacific Education Review, 2024
Hands-on activities in science learning are beneficial in enhancing creative thinking in students. However, scant studies have probed the nature of creative thinking developed by hands-on activities, particularly among primary school students and further investigation is thus mandated. Therefore, this study aims to explore the creative thinking…

Khodabandelou, Rouhollah; Alhoqani, Khaloud – Education 3-13, 2023
This research aimed to study the effects of the WeDo 2.0 robot workshop on grade five students' acquisition of the computational thinking concepts (CTCs) and their acceptance of the robot technology. A quasi-experimental method, One-Group Pre-test Post-test design, was used. Thirty-five grade 5 students participated in a five-day (four hours of…

Zhong, Baichang; Xia, Liying – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Although some researchers have applied both cooperation and competition in the practice of robotics education, most of these practices were not systematic, and there was no integration design for intra-group cooperation and inter-group competition. Objectives: The study aims to examine the effects of different coopetition designs on…

Mari, Emilie; Millon Faure, Karine; Assude, Teresa – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2022
In this article, we focus on how spatial knowledge can be articulated with the integration of programmable floor robots in the mathematics classroom. We describe the observation grid we conceived to take into account three distinct dimensions: spatial knowledge, robotics and computer programming. Then, we implement this tool to analyse mathematics…
