Computational thinking in collaborative programming discourse
Background and Context Collaborative programming offers advantages for fostering novice students’ computational thinking (CT) skills. Yet, there is a limited understanding of CT within a collaborative group and a lack of descriptive knowledge regarding CT in authentic learning processes through process-based approaches.Objective In this study, we applied the theoretical framework of collaborative problem-solving (CPS) to understand how CT emerged…
Co-constructing adaptive lesson plans with GenAI
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) technologies present new opportunities for teachers to design adaptive and student-centered instruction. However, the educational value of GenAI depends not only on technical usage but also on teachers’ ability to formulate pedagogically meaningful prompts. Prompting strategies are not isolated from teachers` prior knowledge and skills. Less is known about how pre-service teachers` AI-related knowledge i…
The antecedents of pre-service teachers’ AI literacy
This study explores the relationships between pre-service teachers’ perceptions of AI tools, their attitudes towards AI, and their AI literacy competencies. Specifically, it examines how perceived characteristics of the GenAI Teachable Machine (GenAI TM) and attitudes towards AI influence key dimensions of AI literacy, including technical understanding, critical evaluation, and practical application. Findings indicate that technical understanding…
Exploring Potentials and Challenges to Develop Twenty-First Century Skills and Computational Thinking in K-12 Maker Education
Interests in Maker Education have been increasing among K-12 educators. In this study, we focused on one of the contexts of Maker Education, digital fabrication activities, at a makerspace in Finland. We aimed to explore: 1) the potentials and the factors to develop twenty-first century skills and computational thinking practices through digital fabrication activities, and 2) challenges of utilizing digital fabrication in K-12 Maker Education. We…
