Integrating Computational Thinking Concept Into Digital Storytelling to Improve Learners’ Motivation and Performance

“…Scratch provides learners a means of creating animations and interactive stories which can be shared online with other members of the Scratch community (Resnick et al., 2009). Scratch tool can be applied as a programming language to determine the impacts of computational thinking integration into English dialogue learning, bridging CT and Language Arts, which increase the English language learning motivation of elementary school students (Weng & Wong, 2017). Scratch is identified as the most used products to promote computational worldwide (Gretter & Yadav, 2016).…”

“…The results indicated that Scratch could provide an effective writing structure for middle school students to learn digital composition with drafting, revising, and publishing (Burke & Kafai, 2012). Weng and Wong (2017) conducted a qualitative study to explore the impact of incorporating CT into the learning of English dialogue through Scratch software. The findings of data collection via observation and interviews on nine students indicated that introducing computational thinking into English dialogues can increase students’ interests toward English learning (Weng & Wong, 2017).…”

“…CT is a method of reasoning that teaches students how to solve complex problems with strategies that computers use (Wing, 2006). Integrating CT in DST helps students to improve the structure of their sentences in language writing through providing a designated purpose for grammar acquisition (Weng & Wong, 2017). The results of some recent studies which have incorporated computational thinking into English language learning indicate that using a CT strategy in the classroom can have a positive impact on students’ performance and motivation (Burke & Kafai, 2012; Vinayakumar et al., 2018).…”

Exploring Computational Thinking to Improve Energy-Efficient Programming Skills

“…Furthermore, computational thinking is possible to be integrated into the curriculum and classroom environment. Some studies have been engaged in designing graphical programming platforms and tools for adopting computational thinking such as Scratch [7]. Scratch has also been applied in higher education, the results revealed that the use of Scratch improves student's interest and involvement in the tasks of programming course.…”

“…A wellknown tool that supports an evaluation for student programs and to assess the development of computational thinking in Scratch is Dr. Scratch. Educators can take benefit from Dr. Scratch's feedback to improve programming skills [7].…”
