Michael Tscholl; Ying Xie; Thomas J. Smith; Wei-Chen Hung – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
In elementary school classrooms, Computational Thinking (CT) teaching often is embedded in problem- or project-based pedagogies and involves programming using Educational Robotics. Little is known, however, about how children solve problems in these contexts, and how task designs influence which CT and problem-solving processes they apply. In this…

Pellas, Nikolaos; Vosinakis, Spyridon – Education and Information Technologies, 2018
Computer games are quickly gaining momentum by enabling new approaches to teaching and learning experience for programming courses in K-12 curriculum. However, it remains unclear if the game interface and elements created by using three-dimensional (3D) virtual worlds combined with visual programming languages or a visual programming environment…
