Direct linkZhan, Zehui; He, Wenchang; Yi, Xitian; Ma, Shuyao – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
This paper examined the effect of the Unplugged Programming Teaching Aids (UPTA) on students' computational thinking and classroom interaction. A set of UPTA was created and used in a primary school in southern China. A total of 48 students aged 6-8 were assigned to two classes, with the same instructor and learning materials, but only the…

Saxena, Anika; Lo, Chung Kwan; Hew, Khe Foon; Wong, Gary Ka Wai – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2020
Educators and policy makers have increasingly recognized the importance of computational thinking (CT). Despite the growing body of CT literature, how to cultivate CT is still underexplored and undertheorized in early childhood education. Informed by Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development, this exploratory study was conducted with a focus on…

Peer reviewedMeconi, L. J. – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
Discusses the use of middle-school students' natural understanding of large numbers to introduce the concept of infinity. Presents activities that investigate infinite sets by demonstrating a one-to-one correspondence between the counting numbers and the given set. Examples include prime numbers, Fibonacci numbers, fractions, even and odd numbers,…
