Silva, Edelberto Franco; Dembogurski, Bruno Jose; Semaan, Gustavo Silva – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2023
Nowadays, technology has become dominant in the daily lives of most people around the world. Technology is present from children to older people, helping in the most diverse daily tasks and allowing accessibility. However, many times these people are just end-users, without any incentive to develop computational thinking (CT). With advances in…
