The role of feedback and guidance as intervention methods to foster computational thinking in educational robotics learning activities for primary school

Francesco Mondada, Jean-Philippe Pellet, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy, Christian Giang, Vaios Papaspyros, Evgeniia Bonnet, Bernard Baumberger

Computational thinking (CT) is considered an emerging competence domain linked to 21st-century competences, and educational robotics (ER) is increasingly recognised as a tool to develop CT competences. This is why researchers recommend developing intervent ...
