Rich, Kathryn M.; Franklin, Diana; Strickland, Carla; Isaacs, Andy; Eatinger, Donna – Computer Science Education, 2022
Background and Context: We explored how learning trajectories (LTs) might be used to design variables instruction. Objective: We aimed to develop an LT for variables and use it to guide curriculum development for fourth graders working in Scratch in an integrated mathematics+CS curriculum. Method: We synthesized learning goals (LGs) and levels of…
