An adaptive educational computer game: Effects on students' knowledge and learning attitude in computational thinking
Danial Hooshyar,Liina Malva,Yeongwook Yang,Margus Pedaste,Minhong Wang,Minhong Wang,Heuiseok Lim +6 more
TL;DR: The results reveal that AutoThinking improved students’ CT skills and conceptual knowledge better than the conventional approach, and it was found that students with a low and high level of prior knowledge made higher improvement in knowledge gain using the adaptive game compared to the traditional approach.

Preschool children, robots, and computational thinking: A systematic review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a systematic review of empirical studies aimed at exploring robot-mediated activities to promote the development of computational thinking in preschoolers, and investigated the robots used, proposed activities, and evaluation processes.

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.
Standards for educational and psychological testing
