Abstract

Integrating computational thinking (CT) into STEM education has recently drawn significant attention, strengthened by the premise that CT and STEM are mutually reinforcing. Previous CT-STEM studies have examined theoretical interpretations, instructional strategies, and assessment targets. However, few have endeavored to delineate the transfer effects of CT-STEM on the development of cognitive and noncognitive benefits. Given this research gap, we conducted a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to provide deeper insights. We analyzed results from 37 studies involving 7,832 students with 96 effect sizes. Our key findings include: (i) identification of 36 benefits; (ii) a moderate overall transfer effect, with moderate effects also observed for both near and far transfers; (iii) a stronger effect on cognitive benefits compared to noncognitive benefits, regardless of the transfer type; (iv) significant moderation by educational level, sample size, instructional strategies, and intervention duration on overall and near-transfer effects, with only educational level and sample size being significant moderators for far-transfer effects. This study analyzes the cognitive and noncognitive benefits arising from CT-STEM’s transfer effects, providing new insights to foster more effective STEM classroom teaching.

计算思维(CT)-STEM 的迁移效应:系统文献综述和荟萃分析
计算思维(CT)与 STEM 相辅相成,将计算思维融入 STEM 教育最近引起了广泛关注。以往的 CT-STEM 研究对理论解释、教学策略和评估目标进行了研究。然而,很少有研究致力于界定 CT-STEM 对认知和非认知益处发展的迁移效应。鉴于这一研究空白,我们进行了系统的文献综述和荟萃分析,以提供更深入的见解。我们分析了 37 项研究的结果,涉及 7,832 名学生,96 个效应大小。我们的主要发现包括(i) 确认了 36 种益处;(ii) 总体转移效果适中,近距离和远距离转移效果也适中;(iii) 与非认知益处相比,认知益处的效果更强,无论转移类型如何;(iv) 教育水平、样本大小、教学策略和干预持续时间对总体和近距离转移效果有显著调节作用,只有教育水平和样本大小对远距离转移效果有显著调节作用。本研究分析了 CT-STEM 迁移效应带来的认知和非认知益处,为促进更有效的 STEM 课堂教学提供了新的见解。
