Van Der Auwera, Stijn; De Smedt, Bert; Torbeyns, Joke; Verschaffel, Lieven – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2022
This study examined adults' frequent, efficient and adaptive use of direct subtraction (DS) and subtraction by addition (SBA) in mental multi-digit subtraction with the choice/no-choice method. Participants were offered subtractions in one choice condition (choice between DS and SBA) and two no-choice conditions (mandatory use of either DS or…

Tarryn S. Lovemore; Mellony Graven – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2024
Background: South African teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching and number sense are markedly low, evidenced in national and international research. There is a call for supporting teachers in developing their knowledge and confidence in teaching mathematics. Aim: The aim of this article is to share how pre-service teachers (PSTs) used the…

Yong-Woon Choi; In-gyu Go; Yeong-Jae Gil – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2024
The purpose of this study is to derive a correlation between the technological thinking disposition and the computational thinking ability of gifted students in Korea. The correlation between each element was analyzed by looking at the sub-elements of computational thinking according to the components of technological thinking disposition. The…

Haiyan Cai; Gary K. W. Wong – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
As the impact of digital technologies pervades on our lives at all levels, it is important for students to develop their digital literacy. Computational thinking (CT) education is one pathway helping young students to thrive in the digital world. CT is a critical reasoning process whereby people formulate and solve problems using computers. CT…

Sarah York; MaryKay Orgill – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Research from other STEM disciplines suggests that a systems thinking approach can motivate students to learn content meaningfully and in a way that empowers them to use their knowledge to benefit the world around them. However, systems thinking is not currently widespread in chemistry education. As instructors' beliefs influence their classroom…

Ju-Yeon Park; Haesung Im; Sung-Ae Kim – Educational Technology & Society, 2024
Although research has demonstrated that introducing computational thinking (CT) benefits young children, there has been a lack of systematic professional development (PD) opportunities for preschool teachers. The current study investigated the impact of Teaching through Interaction-Plus (TTI-P) on preschool teachers' self-efficacy in teaching CT…

Guez, Ava; Piazza, Manuela; Pinheiro-Chagas, Pedro; Peyre, Hugo; Heude, Barbara; Ramus, Franck – Developmental Science, 2023
A converging body of evidence from neuroimaging, behavioral, and neuropsychology studies suggests that different arithmetic operations rely on distinct neuro-cognitive processes: while addition and subtraction may rely more on visuospatial reasoning, multiplication would depend more on verbal abilities. In this paper, we tested this hypothesis in…

Lihui Sun; Junjie Liu – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
There has been a global consensus to develop computational thinking (CT) in primary education, but the biggest obstacle to promoting CT is teachers' lack of sufficient CT. This study explored the effects of micro: bit educational robotics (MER) programming activities on primary teachers' CT and programming attitudes (PA) while considering the…

Stella Xin Yin; Dion Hoe-Lian Goh; Choon Lang Quek – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
In the past decade, Computational Thinking (CT) education has received growing attention from researchers. Although many reviews have provided synthesized information on CT teaching and learning, few have paid particular attention to collaborative learning (CL) strategies. CL has been widely implemented in CT classes and has become the most…

Xiaoxuan Fang; Davy Tsz Kit Ng; Manwai Yuen – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
To promote computational thinking in mathematics education, Scratch is used to foster students' computational thinking and mathematical understanding. However, students face challenges in block-based programming environments, such as having low motivation, high anxiety, and cognitive loads. This study combined the pedagogical values of Geogebra…

Glaser, Maria; Knops, André – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
The notion that mental arithmetic is associated with shifts of spatial attention along a spatially organised mental number representation has received empirical support from three lines of research. First, participants tend to overestimate results of addition and underestimate those of subtraction problems in both exact and approximate formats.…

YungYu Zhuang; Yu-Hsuan Lin; Mahesh Liyanawatta; Andito Haryo Saputro; Yuniati Dwi Utami; Jen-Hang Wang – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Computer programming is essential nowadays but still challenging to learn due to its invisible thinking. Current programming environments are mostly designed for operating on computers directly to learn concrete programming, but this approach lacks the support for clarifying learners' thinking processes. On the other hand, using paper and pens…

Laski, Elida V.; Ermakova, Anna; Vasilyeva, Marina; Halloran, Karina – Journal of Experimental Education, 2023
The present study examined whether the number of manipulatives used in arithmetic strategy instruction influences learning. First graders were randomly assigned to one of the following conditions for learning a decomposition strategy to solve arithmetic problems: intervention with a single manipulative, intervention with multiple manipulatives,…

Williams, Daniel S. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The concentration in K-12 education on higher-order thinking has diminished the importance of math fact automaticity, which is the ability to deliver a correct answer immediately from long-term memory without impeding the working memory. This quantitative study investigated the influence of automaticity of high school students on their Missouri…

Pamela Vale; Lise Westaway – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2024
Background: There is a concern in South Africa that pre-service teachers do not have the required knowledge to teach mathematics in primary school and to develop learners' number sense. In this study, pre-service teachers taught the mental strategy of bridging through ten through a structured teaching sequence from the Mental Starters Assessment…
