Fábio Machuqueiro; João Piedade – Educational Media International, 2024
In recent years, modern board games (MBG) have attracted the attention of academics due to their innovative mechanics and mechanisms, which seem to facilitate the creation of spaces for the development of various aspects of computational thinking (CT). This article examines a number of MBG to identify those that contain CT-promoting mechanics. We…

Liu, Zhichun; Jeong, Allan C. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
Prior studies on game-based learning provide limited and mixed results in the transfer of skills learned during game play to contexts outside of the game. This study tested the effects of playing a blocked-based programming educational game implemented with in-game cognitive supports on students' ability to learn and apply computational thinking…

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) involves social skills deficits, hindering effective communication and meaningful relationships. Prior research indicates that Augmented Reality (AR) games appeal to children with ASD for learning social skills but lack a structured framework and clear instructions for grasping social concepts. Therefore, this…

Ma, Jingsi; Zhang, Yi; Zhu, Zhifang; Zhao, Sunan; Wang, Qiyun – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) education has drawn increasing attention from educators and researchers. This study conducted a meta-analysis of 27 empirical studies to examine the effectiveness of game-based learning (GBL) for fostering students' CT. The effects of various factors on the learning process for acquiring CT were also examined. The…

Zebel-Al Tareq; Raja Jamilah Raja Yusof – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Contribution: A problem-solving approach (PSA) model derived from major computational thinking (CT) concepts. This model can be utilized to formulate solutions for different algorithmic problems and translate them into effective active learning methods. Background: Different teaching approaches for programming are widely available; however, being…

Zhang, Xiangling; Tlili, Ahmed; Guo, Junhong; Griffiths, David; Huang, Ronghuai; Looi, Chee-Kit; Burgos, Daniel – Journal of Educational Research, 2023
The lack of teachers and equipment is a major obstacle to the implementation of Computational Thinking (CT) in education, particularly for rural schools. Although CT education has been investigated for many years, less attention has been paid to lower primary schools in rural areas. This study contributes to filling this gap by investigating the…

Zapata-Caceres, Maria; Martin-Barroso, Estefania; Roman-Gonzalez, Marcos – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2021
Computational thinking (CT) can be considered a 21st century core skill and, accordingly, it should be taught to students at an early age. Nevertheless, the implementation of CT in school curricula is still in an experimental stage, given that different performance metrics remain unclear, including the appropriate age for learning each skill, the…

Chen, Yu-Chi; Chao, Chi-Yu; Hou, Huei-Tse – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Pattern recognition is an important skill in computational thinking. In this study, an equation puzzle game was developed by combining pattern recognition with algebraic reasoning, and scaffolding was designed to support learners' learning. Sixty participants were enrolled in this study, divided into a control group and an experimental group to…

Mowafi, Yaser; Abumuhfouz, Ismail – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Mobile learning techniques have brought the potential of scaffolding information in real-world context that allows learners to interact more actively with their learning content. In this study, we present an interactive learning approach that allows learners to interact with their learning content in real-world context. With learning environment…
