Kukul, Volkan; Çakir, Recep – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2020
Computational thinking (CT) has become a skill that is taught starting from an early age with its increasing popularity. In addition, the opinion that CT is related to other 21st century skills finds its place in the literature. The main purpose of this study is to identify the contributions of scaffolding-based game programming activities to…
