Formation of computational identity through computational thinking perspectives development in programming learning: A mediation analysis among primary school students
TL;DR: Results of Structural Equation Modeling showed positive relationships between CT perspectives and CI formation among primary school students and mediation results revealed that ability to question can foster CI formation through ability to express, while ability to connect can directly fosterCI formation.

“Scratch”-ing computational thinking with Arduino: A meta-analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analytic methodology was used to aggregate the effects of 11 quantitative studies with 29 unique effect sizes to produce a cumulative effect size along with relevant visual presentations of the effectiveness of the interventions, which indicated that Arduino and Scratch-enabled interventions had an overall positive effect (d = 0.67 (CI: 0.40, 0.95) on students' STEM academic achievement and their perceptions towards STEM.

Construct validity in psychological tests.
Lee J. Cronbach,Paul E. Meehl +1 more
TL;DR: The present interpretation of construct validity is not "official" and deals with some areas where the Committee would probably not be unanimous, but the present writers are solely responsible for this attempt to explain the concept and elaborate its implications.

Mindstorms: Children, Computers, And Powerful Ideas
TL;DR: The gears of my childhood as discussed by the authors were a source of inspiration for many of the ideas we use in our own work, such as the notion of assimilation of knowledge into a new model.

Computational thinking
TL;DR: In this paper, a universally applicable attitude and skill set for computer science is presented, which is a set of skills and attitudes that everyone would be eager to learn and use, not just computer scientists.
