Advancing students' computational thinking skills through educational robotics: A study on age and gender relevant differences (2016, background): “There is also lack of empirical evidence in defining the explicit CT boundaries [37], although recent articles begin to describe what it looks like [4,30,38,39].”
Demystifying computational thinking (2017, background): “However, no gender differences were reported by Werner et al. (2012) and Yadav et al. (2014).”
Designing for deeper learning in a blended computer science course for middle school students (2015, methodology): “Student learning was assessed through a Fairy Assessment created in Alice that tested students on algorithmic thinking, and how effectively they made use of abstraction and modeling (Werner, Denner, Campe, & Kawamoto, 2012).”
