Computational Thinking (CT) has been described as an essential skill which everyone
should learn and can therefore include in their skill set. Seymour Papert is credited as …

In this paper, we explore the role of learning theory in the Child-computer interaction (CCI)
community's leading venues: the Interaction Design and Children (IDC) conference and the …

This paper describes the work done by sixth grade students to achieve and sustain
productive and personally meaningful lines of inquiry with computational models. The …

During the past two decades, event-driven programming (EDP) has emerged as a central
and almost ubiquitous concept in modern software development: Graphical user interfaces …

In this paper, we investigate and map out how learning is assessed in Child–computer
interaction (CCI) research. We have conducted a semi-systematic literature review in the …

Previous research has established that embodied modeling (role-playing agents in a
system) can support learning about complexity. Separately, research has demonstrated that …

Computational thinking is a contemporary science and engineering practice that has been
introduced to the US science classrooms due to its emphasis in the Next Generation …

Research on exploring the relationship between computational thinking and domain specific
knowledge gains (ie biological evolution) are becoming more common in science education …

Research suggests that designing for an external audience may support conceptual
understanding by offering students increased opportunities to reframe perspectival thinking …

The aim of this research is to summarize and observe how interventions affect students'
computational thinking (CT) skills through computer technology. Some common factors …
