Ibrahim Cetin; Tarik Otu – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2023
The purpose of the current study was to explore the effect of modality (constructionist mBlock, Scratch, and Python interventions) on six-grade students' computational thinking, programming attitude, and achievement. The pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental design was used to explore the research questions. The study group consisted of 105…

Rowe, Elizabeth; Asbell-Clarke, Jodi; Almeda, Mia; Gasca, Santiago; Edwards, Teon; Bardar, Erin; Shute, Valerie; Ventura, Matthew – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2021
The Inclusive Assessment of Computational Thinking (CT) designed for accessibility and learner variability was studied in over 50 classes in US schools (grades 3-8). The validation studies of IACT sampled thousands of students to establish IACT's construct and concurrent validity as well as test-retest reliability. IACT items for each CT practice…

Flesch, Breeann; Gabaldón, Camila; Nabity, Matthew; Thomas, Darryl – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2021
Increasing the inclusion of underrepresented individuals in coding is an intractable problem, with a variety of initiatives trying to improve the situation. Many of these initiatives involve STEAM education, which combines the arts with traditional STEM disciplines. Evidence is emerging that this approach is making headway on this complex problem.…

Karalar, Halit; Alpaslan, Muhammet Mustafa – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2021
The aim of this study was to assess the domain-general CT skills of 8th grade students in Turkey. In the study, first, the domain-general CT scale was adapted to Turkish, and then relations of the CT skills with gender, computer possession, internet access, and programming experience were examined. This survey research was conducted with the 284…

Kwon, Kyungbin; Cheon, Jongpil – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2019
Although teachers need to assess computational thinking (CT) for computer science education in K-12, it is not easy for them to evaluate students' programs based on the perspective. The purpose of this study was to investigate students' CT skills reflected in their Scratch programs. The context of the study was a middle school coding club where…

von Wangenheim, Christiane Gresse; Alves, Nathalia Cruz; Rodrigues, Pedro Eurico; Hauck, Jean Carlo – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2017
In order to be well-educated citizens in the 21st century, children need to learn computing in school. However, implementing computing education in schools faces several practical problems, such as a lack of computing teachers and time in an already overloaded curriculum. A solution may be a multidisciplinary approach, integrating computing…
