Marianthi Grizioti; Chronis Kynigos – Informatics in Education, 2024
Even though working with data is as important as coding for understanding and dealing with complex problems across multiple fields, it has received very little attention in the context of Computational Thinking. This paper discusses an approach for bridging the gap between Computational Thinking with Data Science by employing and studying…

Elif Çelik; Sevim Sevgi – Journal of Educational Technology and Online Learning, 2025
This research investigates the impact of mathematical problems created with Scratch on the problem-solving skills of 8th-grade middle school students. The research was based on the descriptive design of mixed research approaches. In this direction, the research model was single-group pretest-posttest design, which is a weak experimental design…

Educational Robotics and Preservice Teachers: STEM Problem-Solving Skills and Self-Efficacy to Teach
Kamini Jaipal-Jamani – Canadian Journal of Learning and Technology, 2024
Integrating STEM education within the elementary school science curriculum in Ontario, Canada, elevated the expectation for elementary preservice teachers to teach STEM skills such as problem-solving through coding. Research shows that educational robotics can promote STEM knowledge and skills. This mixed methods study investigates the effect of…

Teresa M. Ober; Ying Cheng; Meghan R. Coggins; Paul Brenner; Janice Zdankus; Philip Gonsalves; Emmanuel Johnson; Tim Urdan – Computer Science Education, 2024
Background and Context: Differences in children's and adolescents' initial attitudes about computing and other STEM fields may form during middle school and shape decisions leading to career entry. Early emerging differences in career interest may propagate a lack of diversity in computer science and programming fields. Objective: Though middle…

Hidiroglu, Çaglar Naci – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2022
This study adopts a holistic single-case design to explain the task design processes of mathematics student teachers (MSTs) regarding History, Theory, Technology, and Modeling (HTTM). A criterion sampling method was used to select nine MSTs who had successfully completed "algorithms and programming" course. Video analyses, written answer…

Chen Sun – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Computational thinking (CT) is an essential 21st century skill for people to succeed in the increasingly technological (and interconnected) world. Researchers have explored different interventions to teach students CT skills (e.g., Scratch and robotics), but digital game-based learning is relatively under-researched. A critical issue to address in…

Dunbar, Kyle M.; Rich, Kathryn M. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2020
The aim of this article is to inspire more teachers to explore the use of codable robots for teaching mathematics. The authors begin by discussing four benefits experienced by incorporating robots into middle school mathematics classes: (1) reasonable time frames; (2) authentic purposes for mathematics; (3) visual and nonevaluative feedback; and…
