{"title":"The efficacy of a computer science curriculum for early childhood: evidence from a randomized controlled trial in K-2 classrooms","authors":"Dandan Yang, Zhanxia Yang, Marina Umaschi Bers","doi":"10.1080/08993408.2023.2279198","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/08993408.2023.2279198","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTBackground and context Despite the growing importance of computer science (CS) education, high-quality CS curricula for students in kindergarten to lower elementary grades are lacking. It is also unclear how students from underrepresented groups such as female students, students from low socioeconomic status, and students with disability respond to CS curriculum at this age range.Objective This study is aimed to examine the effectiveness of a novel CS curriculum (Coding as Another Language – ScratchJr) on the development of programming and computational thinking skills for students in kindergarten to second grade classrooms.Method We conducted a randomized controlled trial with 1057 students and used multilevel regression analysis to examine the impact of the CAL curriculum on students’ coding and computational thinking skills, as well as moderation analysis to investigate how students’ demographic characteristics including gender, socioeconomic status, English learners and disability interacted with the intervention effectiveness.Findings The CAL curriculum was effective in improving students’ programming skills, but no significant differences were detected for students’ computational thinking skills. Students with limited English proficiency and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds achieved similar gain in coding skills but students with disabilities and female students did not demonstrate the same improvements as their peers.Implications These findings shed light on the educational efficacy of CAL as a promising CS curriculum for young children and underscore the importance of understanding how underrepresented minority students respond to the curriculum in order to better guide the development and design of the CS programs.KEYWORDS: computer science educationearly childhoodelementary schoolcomputational thinkingcurriculum AcknowledgmentsWe would like to express our appreciation to the students and teachers who participated in the study, as well as the research assistants and researchers at the DevTech Research group.

We hypothesized that this could inform the design and implementation of computational thinking and computer programming educational activities.Methods We analyzed qualitative and quantitative data from the design experiment to theorize the processes of using the aquaponics system to enroll Black nature-cultures of belonging in the CRC program.Findings Given that the program supported children’s self-confidence in and knowledge of CS, nature-culture inspired CS education appears feasible.Implications Through respectful engagement with the discourses and practices of Black hair care, we provide insight into how nature-cultures can contribute to more diverse, inclusive, and pluralistic forms of CS education.KEYWORDS: Computer science educationculturally responsive computingnature-culturesBlack hair careaquaponics AcknowledgmentsWe would like to personally thank William Babbitt, Elizabeth LaPensée, Yolanda Rankin, and Jakita O.
