Description
The papers examine how middle school kids' cognitive development is impacted by coding, computational thinking, and difficult problem-solving exercises. They look at how coding clubs' computational thinking activities enhance students' mathematical and spatial reasoning capacities. The studies also examine how students approach problem-solving in creative coding tasks, emphasizing the value of both technical proficiency and creativity. Additionally, the study looks at how students use programming environments such as Alice 2.2 to work on challenging problems and highlights the importance of social contexts in the development of skills. Overall, the results highlight the advantages of include computational thinking and coding exercises in middle school curricula to improve students' cognitive capacities and problem-solving abilities.
