Session Summary

Computational Thinking and Computational Modeling in Higher Education and K–8 Contexts

Mon, April 20, 8:15 to 9:45am, Virtual Room

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

Focused on computational modeling and thinking, this session comprises strategies for equipping pre-service teachers with CT skills, explores the structural relationships between learner affective factors, computational thinking and problem-solving in higher education, and college students' use of search engines and social media. In the K-8 context, the impact of cognitive disequilibrium on students' conceptual change is examined, and a curriculum at the intersection of computational thinking and scientific modeling is tested.
