“…Creativity plays an important role in human inventive potential in all fields, and its influence controls many spheres of life (Hershkovitz et al, 2019). There is increasing consensus that creativity is an essential skill for the twenty-first century, and, as such, it should be included in the curriculum from an early age.…”

The associations between CT and creativity have been recently studied (Hershkovitz et al, 2019), and preliminary evidence suggest some interesting links between these constructs.

“…Likewise, most of the relevant studies have only focused on aggregated measures of creativity (Roque, Rusk, & Resnick, 2016). Hershkovitz et al (2019) suggest bridging this gap by operationalizing a "continuous" (rather than aggregated) measure of CT-related creativity, and to test for its associations with a standard measure of creativity.…”

Nuevas herramientas tecnológicas, servicios basados en tecnología y soporte se están introduciendo en nuestra vida diaria más rápido que nunca. Entre estos avances tecnológicos, la tecnología robótica ha aumentado dramáticamente en los últimos años, así como su inclusión en la educación. El propósito del trabajo es ofrecer una revisión compresiva sobre las definiciones de pensamiento computacional y creativo y su medición, además, su relación con la codificación y la robótica educativa. La revisión se basa en los artículos más citados publicados en los últimos 10 años, recuperados de Google Scholar y otras bases de datos prestigiosas. La revisión ha demostrado que, con el uso de kits de codificación y robótica, generalmente no hay una forma correcta de resolver un desafío, y el pensamiento computacional y creativo está relacionado para encontrar una solución eficiente y buena a los problemas. No tener una respuesta correcta pero múltiples formas de abordar un problema es una experiencia con la que muchos maestros no están familiarizados. Es por eso que se necesita más investigación científica a este respecto, en términos de intervenciones exitosas que muestren evidencia y buenas prácticas que sirvan como capacitación y guíen a los maestros. New technological tools, technology-based services and support are being introduced into our daily lives faster than ever. Among these technological advances robotic technology has increased dramatically in recent years, the same as its inclusion in education. The purpose of the paper is offer a compressive review about computational and creative thinking definitions and its measurement, furthermore, its relationship with coding, educational robotics and the maker movement. The review is based in the most cited papers publish in the last 10 years, retrieved from google scholar and other prestigious databases. The review has showed that with the use of coding and robotics kits there is generally no correct way to solve a challenge, and computational and creative thinking are related to find efficient and good solution to problems. Not having a correct answer but multiple ways of addressing a problem is an experience that many teachers are not familiar with. That is why more scientific research is needed in this regard, in terms of successful interventions that show evidence and good practices that serve as training and guides teachers.

“…Unlike some previous studies, this study combined both computational thinking and content at once to help students in developing computational skills and mastering learning content. Some last empirical studies focused on computational thinking in the context of science or STEM but did not explicitly teach science content (Saez-Lopez et al, 2016;Hershkovitz et al, 2019). Some studies used programming to teach science content but did not explicitly teach the skills or concepts of computational thinking (Lopez et al, 2015;Mariano et al, 2019).…”

Computational Thinking (CT) is the main skill of the 21st century that is increasingly attracting more researchers to study how to implement CT in the learning and teaching process. Among the CT tools that can be used to develop CT is programming. Currently, availability and easily accessible programming tools have led researchers and educators to explore how to introduce CT in the context of learning and teaching in schools. Recognizing the importance of implementing CT in the classroom, this study aims to develop the CT-S (Computational Thinking and Scratch) module for the Linear Motion topic. The type of this study is research and development research to develop modules based on the ADDIE model to produce the CT-S module with validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis. The result showed that the CT-S module was valid. It is eligible to be used as the instructional material of Physics. This study implies that computational thinking skills can be integrated with other subjects besides computer science like physics. Therefore, teachers can design lessons that are relevant to the context and students' characteristics.

“…Resnick [10] explains that their "educational mission is to engage students in thinking creatively, to encourage systematic thinking and working collaboratively -essential skills for everyone in today's society" (para 5). Hershkovitz et al [11] expand on this further by proposing that providing learners with programming environments where they can use their creativity could help in fostering their overall learning as well. In this context, CT is being recognised as one of the most suitable competencies to be developed because it encompasses problem-solving, critical thinking and logical thinking.…”

The development and assessment of computational thinking (CT) is garnering a lot of attention and research since the last decade. However, the learning of CT is perceived as a time-consuming and frustrating experience by many K-12 and university students. Hence, educators are coming up with various methodologies to make CT both accessible and engaging for learners, thus leading to a spurt in various game-based learning (GBL) approaches in this field, ranging from board games to educational robotic games. This paper strives to evaluate existing escape games aiming to develop CT based on their systematic analysis according to the CT competency components. The authors conducted an analytical review of three tabletop escape games in CT to identify CT components and subcomponents developed through these games. The use of tabletop escape games from a pedagogical perspective to develop CT among learners is discussed based on the results of the analysis to identify their current limits. This also covers the design aspects to be considered for the development of a CT-based educational escape game to support and evaluate this competency and its components.
