[ecrea] CfP: Handbook of Research on Teaching Computational Thinking in Primary Education

Tue Dec 15 12:40:36 GMT 2015







In last ten years, CT education have taken place directly in curricula
of some countries on the level of primary education while CT education
has started to be provided with various fields in an integrated way in
some countries. However, there are very limited research-based
discussions about the scope of CT education and proper pedagogic methods
for CT which is still a very new field. Therefore, it is believed that
this study will bring significant contribution to the fund of knowledge
in CT education which is in its infancy phase yet and will lay ground
for discussions in the field.

*//**Recommended topics include, but are not limited to the following:*

Contributors are welcome to submit chapters on the following topics
relating to teaching computational thinking in primary education:

  * Defining computational thinking
  * Critics of teaching computational thinking in primary education
  * Limitations and power of computational thinking
  * What computational thinking means for primary education
  * Assesing computational thinking
  * How computational thinking can be facilitated in primary education
  * Pedagogies for teaching computational thinking
  * Game design and computational thinking
  * How can we integrate computational thinking into different subjects
  * Teaching computational thinking across different learning contexts
  * Relationship of computer programming to computational thinking
  * Teaching coding in primary education
  * Relationship of computational thinking to problem solving
  * The use of visual programming languages to promote computational
    thinking in primary education
  * Cognitive benefits of learning programming
  * How to bring computational processes to bear on problem solving

*Submission Procedure*

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit /on or before
*January 30, 2015*/, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the
mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted
proposals will be notified by */February 28, 2016/*about the status of
their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected
to be submitted by */May 30, 2016/*. All submitted chapters will be
reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be
requested to serve as reviewers for this project.
