Teacher Educators in Elementary Education: the Inclusion of Computational Thinking through Coding

• In Event: TED- Teacher Educators in Elementary Education: the Inclusion of Computational Thinking through Coding

Short Description

Many states are requiring or encouraging their elementary school students to learn the skills of Computational Thinking (CT) through coding. Most research thus far has focused on elementary school students, inservice teachers, and preservice teachers. However, teacher educators also need to be involved in the teaching of coding and computational thinking. This study seeks to understand the knowledge, attitudes and practices of teacher educators in Utah.
