Trying to Develop and Assess Computational Thinking in Computer Science Unplugged Activities with Gamification

Developing computational thinking through Computer Science Unplugged activities is a fantastic way to introduce students to the core concepts of computing without the need for programming tools. These activities are interactive, engaging, and help learners build problem-solving and logical reasoning skills. CT in CS Unplugged activities involves evaluating how well the activities promote the core components of CT, which are fundamental skills in algorithmic thinking and problem-solving. This paper tries to contribute to a better understanding of the related field.

Abstract

Developing computational thinking through Computer Science Unplugged activities is a fantastic way to introduce students to the core concepts of computing without the need for programming tools. These activities are interactive, engaging, and help learners build problem-solving and logical reasoning skills. CT in CS Unplugged activities involves evaluating how well the activities promote the core components of CT, which are fundamental skills in algorithmic thinking and problem-solving. This paper tries to contribute to a better understanding of the related field.
