SIGCSE 2023 Poster – “Run, Llama, Run: A Computational Thinking Game for K-5 Students Designed to Support Equitable Access”
Computational thinking is now included in K-5 classrooms and this has led to a demand for new interactive and collaborative learning tools that engage a younger audience. Block-based programming and educational games have both been shown to be effective at engaging children, however they have limitations with respect to supporting collaborative learning and equitable access.Continue reading “SIGCSE 2023 Poster – “Run, Llama, Run: A Computational Thinking Game for K-5 Students Designed to Support Equitable Access””
SIGCSE 2023 Poster – “Adapting Between Parsons Problems and Coding Tasks”
Parsons problems are an effective scaffolding activity for coding. The development of Adaptive Parsons problems has provided more flexible scaffolding for students learning to code. However, there is still a gap between Parsons problems and coding tasks which can both challenge and frustrate learners. If you interested in learning more about Nadia Goralski‘s MSc thesis researchContinue reading “SIGCSE 2023 Poster – “Adapting Between Parsons Problems and Coding Tasks””
