KSET- Embodied Learning for Computational Thinking Education

• In Event: KSET/NJASL- Emerging Technology

Short Description

This proposal presents an ongoing project that develops a CS curriculum that is integrated into Social Emotional Learning. Grounded cognition has been adopted as a theoretical foundation and a programmable toy(Bee-bot) is utilized for CT learning. Researchers will present 1) how embodied learning activities will facilitate the understanding of CT concepts and 2) how children engage in the learning and change their attitude toward CS.
