Integrating Computer Science and Computational Thinking into Elementary Science: Lessons Learned from the Maker Partnership. Research Report

The perspective that computing and computational thinking (CT) are necessary competencies for the 21st century is increasingly pervasive. Computational concepts and methods--problem solving, designing systems, refining the steps in a process, and tinkering toward creative solutions--are relevant in nearly every discipline, profession, and industry. The Maker Partnership Program (MPP) is a research-practice partnership between the Research Alliance for New York City Schools, MakerState, and Schools That Can. MPP developed and tested a new model for building teachers' capacity to integrate computer science and computational thinking (CS/CT) into elementary science instruction using Maker pedagogy. This report highlights key findings and lessons from the study of MPP and provides access to resources and materials designed for the project, including information about MPP's approach to teacher professional development, descriptions of Maker instructional strategies, and sample lesson plans.
