Integrating computational thinking with K-12 science education using agent-based computation: A theoretical framework

A theoretical investigation of key issues that need to be considered for integrating CT into K-12 science topics by identifying the synergies between CT and scientific expertise using a particular genre of computation: agent-based computation is presented.

The Effects of Mind Mapping with Cooperative Learning on Programming Performance, Problem Solving Skill and Metacognitive Knowledge among Computer Science Students

The results showed that the students in MMCL and CL groups have significant positive overall effects in programming performance, problem solving skill, and metacognitive knowledge and there were no significant interaction effects between the instructional methods and the students' logical thinking levels.

Learning and Teaching Programming: A Review and Discussion

This paper identifies general trends comparing novice and expert programmers, programming knowledge and strategies, program generation and comprehension, and object-oriented versus procedural programming and topics relating to novice teaching and learning.

Investigating and improving the models of programming concepts held by novice programmers

A teaching model integrating cognitive conflict and program visualisation is proposed and a series of studies found that it is potentially effective in enhancing engagement with learning materials and may therefore help novice programmers develop a better understanding of key concepts.
