Herro, Danielle; Quigley, Cassie; Plank, Holly; Abimbade, Oluwadara; Owens, Aileen – Journal of Digital Learning in Teacher Education, 2022
We examine how elementary STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) teachers designed and implemented instructional practices to encourage computational thinking (CT) during problem-solving activities. After teachers created STEAM lessons aligned with state standards and CT practices, students made artifacts while solving…
