The Handwriting Programming Language for Primary School: Aligning Computer Science Education with Established Teaching Practices
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jérôme Brender; Laila El-Hamamsy; Christian Giang; Laura Mathex; Tanja Käser; Francesco Mondada – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2025
Generalist primary school computer science (CS) teachers are often reluctant to introduce CS activities that go beyond CS unplugged tasks. To address this challenge, we drew from constructive alignment principles to implement a new programming modality for primary school: the handwriting programming language (HPL). HPL brings programming…

Should We Use Educational Robots to Introduce Students to Computational Thinking? Insights from Two Experimental Studies
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kevin Sigayret; Nathalie Blanc; André Tricot – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Teaching programming and computational thinking is becoming a major issue in many education systems. Numerous approaches are possible, but very few studies compare these different ways of implementing programming and computational thinking learning. Objectives: We compared three ways of teaching programming and computational thinking…

Effects of Block-Based Visual Programming on K-12 Students' Learning Outcomes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Qing Yu; Kun Yu; Baomin Li – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2025
Computer programming is regarded as an important skill for the future. However, many K-12 students face challenges and difficulties in learning traditional text-based programming. Block-based visual programming (BVP) can reduce the difficulty of learning programming and is seen as a potential programming education tool. Nevertheless, the effects…
