The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Advancing students' computational thinking skills through educational robotics: A study on age and gender relevant differences (2016, methodology): “This conclusion is in line with studies emphasising that skill development in general requires adequate amount of training time [33,53].”
Computational thinking in compulsory education: Towards an agenda for research and practice (2015, background): “Along the same lines, Bundy (2007) posited that the ability to think computationally is essential to conceptual understanding in every field, through the processes of problem solving and algorithmic thinking.”
Demystifying computational thinking (2017, background): “Studies on transfer of CT are also needed (Bers et al., 2014).”
Empowering technology and engineering for STEM education through programming robots: a systematic literature review (2018, methodology): “Some studies provide some curricula, that can become the basis for the usage of robotic construction kits, such as TangibleK and KIBO robotics (Bers et al., 2014; Elkin et al., 2016; Kazakoff et al., 2013; Kazakoff & Bers, 2012, 2014; Sullivan & Bers, 2017).”
