In this chapter, we argue for an epistemological shift from viewing coding and computational
thinking as mastery over computational logic and symbolic forms to viewing them as a more …

This paper presents a systematic literature review of professional development programs in
computational thinking (CT). CT has emerged as an essential set of skills that everyone …

This meta-analysis maps the evidence on the effectiveness of instructional approaches and
conditions for learning computer programming under three study conditions:(a) Studies …

Synergistic learning combining computational thinking (CT) and STEM has proven to be an
effective method for advancing learning and understanding in a number of STEM domains …

Computational thinking (CT) parallels the core practices of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and is believed to effectively support …

Problem-solving and critical thinking are considered important skills to be developed by
students, and are supported by the development of Computational Thinking (CT) skills. This …

Large Language Models (LLMs) have the potential to fundamentally change the way people
engage in computer programming. Agent-based modeling (ABM) has become ubiquitous in …

Computational thinking is considered to be an important competence in the intelligent era,
and the incorporation of computational thinking as an integral part of school education …

In this paper, we present a third‐grade ecology learning environment that integrates two
forms of modeling––embodied modeling and agent‐based modeling (ABMs)––through the …

The recent popularity of computational thinking (CT) and the desire to apply CT in our daily
lives have prompted the need for a successful pedagogical technique for learning CT in K …
