Synopsis

While the growth of computational thinking has brought new awareness to the importance of computing education, it has also created new challenges. Many educational initiatives focus solely on the programming aspects, such as variables, loops, conditionals, parallelism, operators, and data handling, divorcing computing from real-world contexts and applications. This decontextualization threatens to make learners believe that they do not need to learn computing, as they cannot envision a future in which they will need to use it, just as many see math and physics education as unnecessary. The Handbook of Research on Tools for Teaching Computational Thinking in P-12 Education is a cutting-edge research publication that examines the implementation of computational thinking into school curriculum in order to develop creative problem-solving skills and to build a computational identity which will allow for future STEM growth. Moreover, the book advocates for a new approach to computing education that argues that while learning about computing, young people should also have opportunities to create with computing, which will have a direct impact on their lives and their communities. Featuring a wide range of topics such as assessment, digital teaching, and educational robotics, this book is ideal for academicians, instructional designers, teachers, education professionals, administrators, researchers, and students.

À propos des auteurs

Michail Kalogiannakis is an Associate Professor in the Department of Special Education at the University of Thessaly and Associate Tutor at School of Humanities at the Hellenic Open University in Greece. He graduated from the Physics Department of the University of Crete and continued his postgraduate studies at the University Paris 7-Denis Diderot (D.E.A. in Didactic of Physics), University Paris 5-René Descartes-Sorbonne (D.E.A. in Science Education) and received his PhD degree at the University Paris 5-René Descartes-Sorbonne (PhD in Science Education). His research interests include science education in the early childhood, science teaching and learning, e-learning, the use of ICT in education, distant and adult education. He has published many articles in international conferences and journals and has served on the program committees of numerous international conferences.

Stamatios Papadakis is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Preschool Education, University of Crete, Greece. His expertise lies in Educational Technology with a specific focus on mobile learning. Engaged in numerous international and national projects concerning computational thinking and pedagogy across Pre-K to 16 Education, he is dedicated to advancing the field. His research primarily explores mobile learning, particularly leveraging smart mobile devices and associated applications in Preschool and Primary Education. He aims to foster Computational Thinking and enhance students' numerical comprehension. Additionally, his current research delves into the impact of a STEM learning approach facilitated by context-aware mobile learning environments in preschool classrooms, elucidating its effects on learning outcomes among preschoolers.
