Robotics to develop computational thinking in early Childhood Education

Abstract: The development of programming skills is currently promoting from an early school age, trying to get children to take an active and creative role in the use of technologies. The objective of this article is to verify the repercussion of educational robotics activities on kindergarten students in the acquisition of computational thinking and programming skills. The research design is quasi-experimental, with pre-test and post-test measures, using experimental and control groups. The sample consists of 131 stude… Show more

“…Computational thinking (CT) has gained great attention in the field of education in recent years, especially after the launch of Code Hour in December 2013 in the EE.UU. And England implemented its computer education in 2014 (García-Valcárcel, and Caballero-González, 2019). In a seminal article on computational thinking by Jeannette Wing in 2006, she predicted that computational thinking would be a fundamental skill used by everyone in the world in the mid-21st century, and define CT as a sort of analytical thinking skill, which includes components such as problem solving, system design and understanding of human behaviour based on the concepts of computer science (Wing 2006).…”

“…Perkembangan pengetahuan dan kemahiran pemikiran komputasional pada peringkat awal pelajar, dipercayai dapat membina asas untuk pelajar menerapkan pendekatan penyelesaian masalah yang sistematik dan memupuk kemahiran berfikir yang lebih tinggi (Naughton, 2012;Falloon, 2016). Ini dibuktikan dengan beberapa kajian luar yang mendapati bahawa pemikiran komputasional boleh diterapkan kepada pelajar seawal usia 4 hingga 6 tahun iaitu ketika pra sekolah (Bers, 2010;Kazakoff et al, 2012;Bers et al, 2014;Muñoz-Repiso & Caballero-González, 2019;Bers, 2020), kepada pelajar sekolah rendah (Yadav et al, 2011;Falloon, 2015;Kafai, 2016;Chalmers, 2018), pelajar sekolah menengah (Yevseyeva & Towhidnejad, 2012;Curzon, 2013;Towhidnejad et al, 2014;Rode et al, 2015), pelajar universiti (Morreale, Joiner, & Chang, 2010;García-Peñalvo & Mendes, 2018), malahan kepada guru (Mannila et al, 2014;Yadav et al, 2014Yadav et al, , 2017Angeli et al, 2016).…”

“…Si hablamos más concretamente de la etapa de Educación Infantil, deberíamos analizar primero que nada su conveniencia o no. Son ya diversos los estudios que prueban que el desarrollo del pensamiento computacional en edades tempranas favorece enormemente la competencia y capacitación en diferentes habilidades y destrezas (Bers, Flannery, Kazakoff y Sullivan, 2014;García-Valcárcel y Caballero, 2019). Y una vez vista su idoneidad y beneficios, contemplar cómo se tiene que plantear y estructurar los contenidos a trabajar, de forma que esté pautado y adecuado a las edades del alumnado (Sullivan y Bers, 2016).…”
