Direct linkWitherspoon, Eben B.; Schunn, Christian D.; Higashi, Ross M.; Shoop, Robin – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
Educational robotics programs offer an engaging opportunity to potentially teach core computer science concepts and practices in K-12 classrooms. Here, we test the effects of units with different programming content within a virtual robotics context on both learning gains and motivational changes in middle school (6th-8th grade) robotics…
