Abstract | Coding education has experienced a reformation due to the popularity of tile-based programming tools and the emphasis on computational thinking in recent years. In the study, acoding curriculum across grade 4 to grade 6 was developed to engage primary school students in learning programming and developing computational thinking. At the end of the first year of the longitudinal research, fourth grade students’ learning outcomes were examined. The results showed that students (1) gained programming-related knowledgeand computational concepts, (2) improvedcomputationalproblem solving skills, (3) did not improve in solving mathematical problems. |
