Václav Šimandl; Jirí Vanícek; Václav Dobiáš – Informatics in Education, 2025
Research on collaborative learning of computer science has been conducted primarily in programming. This paper extends this area by including short tasks (such as those used in contests like the Bebras Challenge) that cover many other computer science topics. The aim of this research is to explore how problem-solving in pairs differs from…

Siu-Cheung Kong; Ming Lai; Yugen Li; Tak-Yue Dickson Chan – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Concepts and practices are widely used to assess students' development in computational thinking (CT). However, less is known about how the development of each construct relates to that of the other. With a sample of 997 grade 6 students (average age = 11.43 at the beginning of the school year) from 14 primary schools, we examined the…

Fry, Kym; Makar, Katie; Hillman, Judith – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2023
Even at the primary level, computational thinking (CT) can support young students to prepare for participating in futures that are immersed in data. In mathematics classrooms, there are few explanations of the ways CT can support students in formulating and solving complex problems. This paper presents an example of a primary classroom…

Allison M. Kroesch; Neet Priya Bajwa; Beth L. MacDonald; Cassandra Mattoon; Agnes M. Gonzalez Hatch; Amanda L. Cullen; Edward S. Mooney; Julien Corven – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
Students, even as young as kindergarten, are natural problem solvers (Carpenter et al., 2017). Even before they learn to count, they can make sense of mathematical problems and real- world situations (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2022). Kindergartners can make sense of complex story problems, including Separate Start Unknown…

Liang, Yicong; Zou, Di; Xie, Haoran; Wang, Fu Lee – Smart Learning Environments, 2023
The pretrained large language models have been widely tested for their performance on some challenging tasks including arithmetic, commonsense, and symbolic reasoning. Recently how to combine LLMs with prompting techniques has attracted lots of researchers to propose their models to automatically solve math word problems. However, most research…

Gökçe, Semirhan; Yenmez, Arzu Aydogan – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Individuals learn to develop problem solving strategies and make connections between their mathematical ideas while programming, so they have the opportunity to improve their thinking skills. Scratch provides an environment to experience problem scenarios and encourages them to act out imagination while having fun. The purpose of the study is to…

Lorien Cafarella; Lucas Vasconcelos – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Middle school students often enter Computer Science (CS) classes without previous CS or Computational Thinking (CT) instruction. This study evaluated how Code.org's block-based programming curriculum affects middle school students' CT skills and attitudes toward CT and CS. Sixteen students participated in the study. This was a mixed methods action…

Jie Xu; Dan Cai – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
Although previous research has demonstrated that the acquisition of mathematical skills requires support from multiple cognitive abilities, the associations between cognitive precursors in different domains and mathematics at different hierarchical levels among primary school children are not well understood. This study explores the cognitive…
