Developing young children's computational thinking with educational robotics: An interaction effect between gender and scaffolding strategy

作者：

Highlights：

• The study examined the effects of learning with the Bee-Bot on computational thinking.

• A gender-friendly learning environment was designed.

• An interaction effect was found between gender and scaffolding strategy.

• Young children used decomposition as a problem-solving strategy during debugging.
