Computational thinking (CT) is considered a fundamental skill that everyone in the 21st century should have. Game-based learning (GBL) may be used to teach CT, and it's necessary to clarify how to design and implement game-based CT teaching. The literature was systematically searched for empirical studies published between 2011 and 2021.…

Ma, Jingsi; Zhang, Yi; Zhu, Zhifang; Zhao, Sunan; Wang, Qiyun – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) education has drawn increasing attention from educators and researchers. This study conducted a meta-analysis of 27 empirical studies to examine the effectiveness of game-based learning (GBL) for fostering students' CT. The effects of various factors on the learning process for acquiring CT were also examined. The…

Lu, Zhuotao; Chiu, Ming M.; Cui, Yunhuo; Mao, Weijie; Lei, Hao – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
This meta-analysis determined game-based learning's (GBL) overall effect on students' computational thinking (CT) and tested for moderators, using 28 effect sizes from 24 studies of 2,134 participants. The random effects model results showed that GBL had a significant positive overall effect on students' CT (g = 0.677, 95% confidence interval…

From Gaming to Computational Thinking: An Adaptive Educational Computer Game-Based Learning Approach
Hooshyar, Danial; Pedaste, Margus; Yang, Yeongwook; Malva, Liina; Hwang, Gwo-Jen; Wang, Minhong; Lim, Heuiseok; Delev, Dejan – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Educational games have been increasingly used to improve students' computational thinking. However, most existing games have focused on the theoretical knowledge of computational thinking, ignoring the development of computational thinking skills. Moreover, there is a lack of integration of adaptivity into educational computer games for…

Pattern recognition is an important skill in computational thinking. In this study, an equation puzzle game was developed by combining pattern recognition with algebraic reasoning, and scaffolding was designed to support learners' learning. Sixty participants were enrolled in this study, divided into a control group and an experimental group to…

Mowafi, Yaser; Abumuhfouz, Ismail – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Mobile learning techniques have brought the potential of scaffolding information in real-world context that allows learners to interact more actively with their learning content. In this study, we present an interactive learning approach that allows learners to interact with their learning content in real-world context. With learning environment…

Hsu, Ting-Chia; Liang, Yi-Sian – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
This study proposed plugged and unplugged approaches for young students to simultaneously improve their interdisciplinary learning performance in English and Computational Thinking (CT). The plugged approach involved adopting educational robots to enhance CT and to provide English vocabulary and sentence practice via a board game. The unplugged…
