Dan Sun; Chengcong Zhu; Fan Xu; Yan Li; Fan Ouyang; Miaoting Cheng – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
Although previous research has provided some insights into the effects of block-based and text-based programming modalities, there is a dearth of a detailed, multi-dimensional analysis of the transition process from different introductory programming modalities to professional programming learning. This study employed a quasi-experimental design…

Linlin Hu – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
This study employs meta-analysis to synthesize findings from 30 articles investigating gender differences in computational thinking (CT) among K-12 students. Encompassing 51 independent effect sizes, the meta-analysis involves a participant pool of 9181 individuals from various countries, comprising 4254 males and 4927 females. Results indicate…

Lai, Rina PY; Ellefson, Michelle R. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) is an emerging and multifaceted competence important to the computing era. However, despite the growing consensus that CT is a competence domain, its theoretical and empirical account remain scarce in the current literature. To address this issue, rigorous psychometric evaluation procedures were adopted to investigate…
