Effect of Coding Learning on the Computational Thinking of Young Chinese Children: Based on the Three-Dimensional Framework
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Fu, Chanjuan; Hao, Xiaoxin; Shi, Donglin; Wang, Lin; Geng, Fengji – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Coding learning can promote the development of computational thinking (CT) in young children. The effect of coding learning on CT may vary between different cultures. However, it lacks studies to evaluate the effect of coding learning on the various dimensions of CT in young Chinese children. To provide insight into this question, we recruited…

Learning to "See" Less than Nothing: Putting Perceptual Skills to Work for Learning Numerical Structure
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Tsang, Jessica M.; Blair, Kristen P.; Bofferding, Laura; Schwartz, Daniel L. – Cognition and Instruction, 2015
How can children's natural perceptuo-motor skills be harnessed for teaching and learning mathematical structure? We address this question in the case of the integers. Existing research suggests that adult mental representations of integers recruit perceptuo-motor functionalities involving symmetry. Building on these findings, we designed a…

Bottge, Brian A.; Rueda, Enrique; LaRoque, Perry T.; Serlin, Ronald C.; Kwon, Jungmin – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2007
This mixed-methods study assessed the effects of Enhanced Anchored Instruction (EAI) on the math performance of adolescents with learning disabilities in math (MLD). A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design with switching replications was used to measure students' computation and problem-solving skills on EAI compared to control…
