This paper proposes a scenario-based learning (SBL) methodology for teaching Computational Thinking (CT). The presented scenario includes educational material that teaches the basic concepts of a Python course for beginners. The scenario allows the educator to utilize a combination of tools and services and follow a mind map. Moreover, it presents…

Çakiroglu, Ünal; Kiliç, Servet – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Recent years have witnessed an increasing emphasis on integrating computational thinking into school curriculums. This study deals with suggesting a course model including data collection tools for evaluating teachers' pedagogical content knowledge in teaching computational thinking via teaching robot programming. Taking the advantages of virtual…

Meen Chul Kim – ProQuest LLC, 2021
In this dissertation, I argue that web development can play a pivotal role in developing computational thinking as well as provide a stepping stone to an advanced mastery of computation. The preceding literature has extensively examined not only how learners practice computational thinking with a wide array of programming languages, but also how…

Gao, Xuemin; Hew, Khe Foon – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
Computational thinking (CT) has attracted significant interest among many educators around the globe. Despite this growing interest, research on CT and programming education in elementary school remains at an initial stage. Many relevant studies have adopted only one type of method to assess students' CT, which may lead to an incomplete view of…

Merrick, K. E. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2010
This correspondence describes an adaptation of puzzle-based learning to teaching an introductory computer programming course. Students from two offerings of the course--with and without the puzzle-based learning--were surveyed over a two-year period. Empirical results show that the synthesis of puzzle-based learning concepts with existing course…

Oliver, Dave; Dobele, Tony – Journal of Information Technology Education, 2007
This paper explores the cognitive difficulty of assessment tasks in six first year computing courses within an Information Technology (IT) degree. This issue is pertinent to Information Technology education for two reasons. Degree level education in any field of study is expected to develop higher order thinking skills. Bloom's taxonomy is a…
