Peng Chen; Dong Yang; Jia Zhao; Shu Yang; Jari Lavonen – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Computational thinking (CT) refers to the ability to represent problems, design solutions and migrate solutions computationally. While previous studies have shown that self-explanation can enhance students' learning, few empirical studies have examined the effects of using different self-explanation prompts to cultivate students' CT…

Xin Gong; Weiqi Xu; Ailing Qiao; Zhixia Li – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Robot programming can simultaneously cultivate learners' computational thinking (CT) and spatial thinking (ST). However, there is a noticeable gap in research focusing on the micro-level development patterns of learners' CT and ST and their interconnections. Objectives: This study aims to uncover the intricate development patterns and…

Huiyan Ye; Biyao Liang; Oi-Lam Ng – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Empirical studies have revealed students' development of computational thinking (CT) and mathematical thinking (MT) during programming-based mathematical problem-solving, highlighting specific CT concepts or practices that serve as learning goals or outcomes. However, implementing programming-based mathematics instruction requires…

Ndudi O. Ezeamuzie; Jessica S. C. Leung; Dennis C. L. Fung; Mercy N. Ezeamuzie – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Computational thinking is derived from arguments that the underlying practices in computer science augment problem-solving. Most studies investigated computational thinking development as a function of learners' factors, instructional strategies and learning environment. However, the influence of the wider community such as educational…
