Exploring young children's metacognition during unplugged computational thinking
This study explores the impact of computational thinking (CT) on enhancing metacognitive strategies among young learners. We conducted one-on-one video interviews with four fifth-grade students as they participated in an adapted version of the unplugged CT activity, Bebras's (2019) Programming Lamps Task. Our findings suggest that CT particularly contributes to the development of self-monitoring and evaluation strategies, such as continuous assessment of one's performance and adopting new strategies and exploring alternatives when existing solutions fail. These were particularly evident as students decomposed problems and developed step-by-step solutions in response to evolving challenges within the task scenarios. Overall, this paper discusses the potential connection between CT and metacognitive strategies, focusing how CT can be a valuable tool for teachers in developing their students' problem-solving abilities and academic performance.
