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

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.
