Codelearn is a game-based learning method designed to teach programming, robotics and computational thinking to kids and teens. Online after-school program.
This study investigates the effects of metacognitive and cognitive strategies for computational thinking (CT) on managing cognitive load and enhancing problem-solving skills in collaborative programming. Four different scaffolding conditions were provided to help learners optimize cognitive load and improve the...
Computational thinking skill is one of the basic skills required for every individual, such as reading and writing. For the development of CT, programming education is seen as the key. In the context of programming and CT relationship, it is very important to model individual characteristics and...
Learn about the basics of computational thinking and understand how these concepts can improve your understanding of computer science and help in programming.Share Computational Thinking is an essential step that comes right before you learn how to program. It’s the process of breaking dow...
4. Consider Learning Basic Coding Skills Learning basic programming skills can also be immensely helpful in becoming a computational thinker, as it forces one to think in terms of clear, ordered steps. It’s not the act of programming that’s critical here but the habit of thinking about how...
Computational thinking is not just about programming; it is a fundamental skill that can be applied across various disciplines to enhance critical thinking and analytical abilities. As technology continues to integrate into virtually every aspect of our lives, fostering computational thinking skills from ...
In this regard, pedagogical experts in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) have developed programming and robotics based on Computational Thinking skills (CTs), which have been regarded as the core of 21st-century skills. In the field of CALL, this skill has received very ...
The results suggest that although the digital storytelling approach may engage high school students in learning about CT, it is still necessary to provide opportunities for students to experience coding activities in order to understand the essential thinking skills in programming. In this special issue...
