Creativity and computational thinking (CT) have been recognized as crucial skills for the twenty-first century and have been extensively researched in recent years. However, their connections have not yet been fully understood, and there is room to expand the body of knowledge. This study examines the impact of an intervention program to increase…

Computational thinking (CT) is widely recognized as a fundamental skill in the information age. However, within the context of Chinese early childhood education (ECE), CT remains underrepresented, with a notable gap in the availability of developmentally appropriate and rigorously validated assessment tools designed specifically for…

The aim of this qualitative research is to describe the thinking process as a profile of students' mathematical computational thinking (CT) skills in terms of CT attitudes. The subjects in this study were 66 junior high school students in grade IX. There were three students taken by purposive sampling based on high, medium, and low CT attitude.…

Computational thinking (CT) is a new literacy of 21st century that can be transferred to and applied in different real-world situations, although being derived from the discipline of computer science. Tangible robots or child-friendly digital apps are used to implement coding education with the goal of promoting young children's CT. However, there…

Computational thinking (CT) is regarded as a valuable skill set for the students of the 21st century, fostering problem-solving skills applicable to academic disciplines and everyday problems. Assessing CT involves evaluating the development of its concepts, practices, and perspectives. However, establishing comprehensive and validated assessments…

Number line estimation has been found to be strongly related to mathematical reasoning concurrently and longitudinally. However, the relationship between number line estimation and mathematical reasoning might differ according to children's level of performance. This study investigates whether findings from previous studies that show number line…

This paper examines the implementation of unplugged tasks across different school settings developing computational thinking skills and concepts at upper primary school children in Spain without programming and without using electronic devices. The study is based on qualitative case study design. Across the three case studies/schools --…

Computational thinking is an essential ability for students in the 21st century. Therefore, this study described students' mathematical computational thinking process in terms of self-efficacy of eighth graders, consisting of 32 students. The applied instruments were self-efficacy questionnaires, computational thinking ability tests, and interview…

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of high school students' perceptions of computational thinking skills and perceptions of logical and mathematical intelligence on their programming self-efficacy. Descriptive survey model as a quantitative research design was used in the research. The data were collected face to face on a voluntary…

The research aims to explore the acquisition of Computational Thinking (CT) sub-skills among 5th and 6th grade secondary school students in Turkey through a block-based programming application, code.org. It seeks to understand if mastering these skills is essential for students globally. This study involved seven volunteer students selected…

Computational thinking (CT), as a new future-oriented literacy, has gained attention at the basic education level. Graphical programming is the common way to develop CT in primary students, but this drag-and-drop programming may weaken students' understanding of programming's abstract concepts and code logic. Text-based programming approaches can…

Intelligent tutoring system (ITS) provides learners with step-by-step problem-solving support through scaffolding. Most ITSs have been developed in the USA and incorporate American instructional strategies. How do non-American students perceive and use ITS with different native problem-solving strategies? The present study compares Stoich Tutor,…

K-12 artificial intelligence (AI) education requires cultivating students' computational thinking in the school curriculum so as to transfer their computational thinking to diverse problems and authentic contexts. However, students may be limited by traditional computational thinking development activities because they may have a lower degree of…

This paper provides a longitudinal analysis of the understanding of repetition patterns by 24 Spanish children ages 3, 4 and 5, through representation and the type of justification. A mixed quantitative and qualitative study is conducted to establish bridges between algebraic thinking and computational thinking by teaching repetition patterns in…

These days' educational landscape forces teachers to adapt to changing demands and embrace innovations. In this study, Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy was analyzed as how it mediates the association between Computational Thinking Skills (CTS) and Organizational Agility (OA) among secondary teachers. A quantitative causal mediation analysis…
