Merino-Armero, José Miguel; González-Calero, José Antonio; Cózar-Gutiérrez, Ramón – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
In modern society technology is widely used and, with the digitization of many services, this is an upward trend. Therefore, computational thinking (CT) is an increasingly important concept; an aspect that is being reflected on educational policies and the extracurricular offer of different countries. This study aims to look at the efficacy of…

Yuan-Chen Liu; Tzu-Hua Huang; Chia-Ling Sung – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Computational thinking is an important skill in computer science since the 1960s, and it is closely related to problem solving. Almost all research related to computational thinking mentions problem solving. Although some research has been conducted on computational thinking, few studies examined the impact of personal traits on students'…

Hsiao, Hsien-Sheng; Lin, Yi-Wei; Lin, Kuen-Yi; Lin, Chien-Yu; Chen, Jheng-Han; Chen, Jyun-Chen – Interactive Learning Environments, 2022
This study used robot-based practices to develop an activity that incorporated the 6E model. The sixth-grade students learned interdisciplinary knowledge about how to use Arduino electronic components, microcontrollers, and hands-on tools to make a "Crab Robot." In addition, the students learned how to use Scratch programming language to…

Wong, Gary Ka-Wai; Cheung, Ho-Yin – Interactive Learning Environments, 2020
The role of programming in computing education for children has grown rapidly in recent years with the proliferation of specially designed programming tools, which is grounded on Seymour Papert's theoretical work in Constructionism. Studies show that some children can develop computational thinking skills and practices with programming activities…
