摘要
This study explored whether the computational thinking skills of early elementary-aged students be positively impacted by participation in a robotics-based, classroom intervention? Action research was used to examine the impact of a multifaceted, constructionist, robotics-based intervention on 37 second and third grade students at an elementary school in the Southeastern United States. This intervention was found to have a positive impact on students' computational thinking skills. This study provides practitioners with an easy to implement, teacher-friendly intervention that can be integrated into elementary classrooms to positively impact student computational thinking skills.
