Wei Yan – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Given the connection between problem-solving and computational thinking (CT), studying the connections between these two constructs is critical. This study focused on students' computational problem-solving strategies, specifically how they applied conditional logic to solve CT-related puzzles within a game-based learning environment called…

Sukirman, Sukirman; Ibharim, Laili Farhana Md; Said, Che Soh; Murtiyasa, Budi – Informatics in Education, 2022
Research trends on computational thinking (CT) and its learning strategies are showing an increase. The strategies are varying, for example is using games to provide enjoyment, engagement, and experience. To improve the high level of immersion and presence of game objects, learning strategies through games can be improved by virtual reality (VR)…

Wang, Xinyue; Cheng, Mengmeng; Li, Xinfeng – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) is considered a fundamental skill that everyone in the 21st century should have. Game-based learning (GBL) may be used to teach CT, and it's necessary to clarify how to design and implement game-based CT teaching. The literature was systematically searched for empirical studies published between 2011 and 2021.…

Andriyani – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2023
Cognitive and psychomotor capabilities are two critical interrelated abilities to improve student learning outcomes. Both abilities play a role in understanding new information and developing fine motor skills. Hence, schools train students these two abilities to equip them with basic skills in solving mathematical problems such as basic…

Forte-Celaya, Jacqueline; Ibarra, Luis; Glasserman-Morales, Leonardo David – Education Sciences, 2021
Educational systems are now focusing on skills enhancement, such as creative thinking skills (CTS), as a means of long-lasting, significant learning. To this end, some universities and higher education institutions incentivize active learning (AL) strategies as CTS developers. Indeed, a positive link among creative results, time availability, and…
