This understanding has recontextualized computer science as a compulsory school subject and has informed several developmentally appropriate approaches to computation, including for preschool children. This study focuses on the introduction of three approaches to computation in preschool (3–6 years), specifically computational thinking, programming, and robotics, from a cross-curricular perspective.

“…Permainan coding untuk anak usia dini selain digunakan untuk menunjukkan ekspresi dan komunikasi, juga dapat digunakan untuk mengembangkan kompetensi digital, komputasi, pengembangan kepribadian dan sosial (Monteiro et al, 2021) serta memfasilitasi keterampilan literasi (Hutchison et al, 2016). Tahapan coding pemula yang berkaitan dengan konsep simbolisasi dan representasi dalam penelitian ini terlihat ketika anak mampu memainkan Robokids STEAM sesuai dengan konteks cerita yang divisualisasikan dalam bentuk gambar dikarpet.…”
