Coding activities for children: Coupling eye-tracking with qualitative data to investigate gender differences

作者:

Highlights:

• We designed and evaluated a coding workshop for children.

• We examined gender differences using eye-tracking and interviews.

• We found no-statistically significant gender difference in gaze and learning gain during coding.

• We found gender differences in the strategies and implemented practices during coding.

• Females do not lack in competences but simply have a different approach during coding.
