Combined Effects of Block-Based Programming and Physical Computing on Primary Students' Computational Thinking Skills.

ABSTRACT: Basic Digital Education (BDE) is already planned to be integrated with the forthcoming curriculum for Austrian primary schools (6-10 years) as it was already implemented for lower secondary schools (10-14 years) in 2018. BDE includes the most essential and novel developments of Computational Thinking (CT), which are fundamentally responsible for nurturing students' problem-solving skills. Thus, evaluating teaching materials, scaffolding guidelines, and assessments is becoming increasingly important for the successful implementation of CT in Austrian classrooms. This study is a part of a longitudinal multi-cycle educational design research project aiming to explore how to foster CT and to raise the awareness, importance, and confidence of teachers and students in applying CT for everyday us
