Advancing students' computational thinking skills through educational robotics
TLDR
Students reach the same level of Computational Thinking (CT) skills development independent of their age and gender, and CT skills in most cases need time to fully develop (students' scores improve significantly towards the end of the activity).About:

How to learn and how to teach computational thinking: Suggestions based on a review of the literature
TL;DR: A meta-review of the studies published in academic journals from 2006 to 2017 found that the promotion of CT in education has made great progress in the last decade and the research trends and potential research issues of CT are proposed as a reference for researchers, instructors, and policy makers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing computational thinking: A systematic review of empirical studies
TL;DR: This study systematically reviewed how CT has been assessed in the literature to identify current research gaps and future directions to conceptualize and assess CT skills, and the findings are expected to be beneficial for researchers, curriculum designers, and instructors.
