An Overview Of The Most Relevant Literature On Coding And Computational Thinking With Emphasis On The Relevant Issues For Teachers
García-Peñalvo, F. J., Daniela Reimann, Maire Tuul, Arran Rees, Ilkka Jormanainen · Gredos (University of Salamanca) · 2016
The rationale for this literature review is to take the main areas of debate surrounding the teaching of coding to primary aged children and examine the polemic and the different positions that writers and practitioners are taking on these issues. This is intended to be a literature review useful to practitioners rather than academics. In that vein, in addition to published peer referenced journal articles we have decided to make maximum use of blog posts and opinions on social media for our source material as we believe that the most informed debate on kids coding is not actually going on in academic journals!
