| Abstract Title: | Learning Goal Framework for Computational Thinking in Computationally Integrated Physics Classrooms |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | Computational thinking has been a recent focus of education research within the sciences. In this talk, we lay the foundation for exploring computational thinking in introductory physics courses. The computational thinking framework that we have developed features 14 practices contained within 6 different categories. We use in-class video data as existence proofs of the computational thinking practices proposed. In doing this work, we hope to provide ways for teachers to assess their students' development of computational thinking, while also giving physics education researchers some guidance on how to study this topic in greater depth. |
