Unlocking student creativity through a robotics-enhanced story creation summer camp
Creativity is a vital component of the 21st century skills that encompasses multipledimensions. To examine how creativity can be fostered through a one-week summercamp, designed to engage 14 elementary students (ages 6 to 10) in a roboticsenhancedstory creation experience. Quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed toexplore how campers participated in the story creation activities and demonstratedcreativity in both their process and final p…
An educational model of equity and computing
Aiming to promote equity in computing, this study proposes an educational model that offers an alternative approach to inspire K-12 students to become interested in CS and develop their computational thinking (CT) skills. It also examines the experience of marginalized students during the COVID pandemic in a learning environment grounded in the model. Adopting a mixed methods case study, this work focused on the experience of 82 girls enrolled in…
Fostering STEM Identity in Underrepresented Elementary Students
STEM identity is a key factor in supporting the long-term engagement of underrepresented students in STEM fields. This study investigated STEM identity development among 22 underrepresented elementary students (grades 2–6), who participated in a Saturday robotics program on a university campus. Using a concurrent mixed-methods design, we collected data across two semesters through a single-item STEM identity scale and an adapted Best Possible Sel…
Exploring young children’s argumentation as a heuristic intertextual practice
Argumentation is a fundamental communicative ability that children develop over time through formal schooling and daily practice with peers and family members. Literature on children's argumentation appears to have focused on their social interactions out of school, clinical environment, or informal pedagogic contexts. Even though there are research inquiries into children’s argumentation in formal academic learning, many have been focused on arg…
