The Role of Spatial Orientation in Diagram Design for Computational Thinking Development in K-8 Teachers
Jean Salac, Donna Eatinger, Diana M. Franklin · 2023
The worldwide push for computing education at younger ages requires that teachers are prepared to deliver instruction that supports all learners. Other discipline-based education research fields offer a wealth of instructional scaffolds worthy of exploration in computing. One such scaffold drawn from math education is diagramming. While diagrams are frequently employed in university computing, little is known about its applications in K-8 (ages 6-14) computing.
