Student motivation in science learning with embodied Computational Thinking

Research output: Contribution to book/anthology/report/proceeding › Article in proceedings › Research › peer-review

Abstract

In an on-going multiple-case study, we investigate the use of unplugged, embodied Computational Thinking activities to learn topics within biology and chemistry. We utilize Educational Design Research in collaboration with 4 teachers at 2 upper secondary schools, focusing on students’ experience and how the activities affect their motivation for learning the topics in question. Tentative results indicate that students find such activities fun, allowing them to address curricular content in new ways, but also confusing.
