Learning Iteration for Grades 2-3: Puzzles vs. UMC in Code.org

This project, partially supported by research grant ANON, compares the effectiveness of two alternative instructional methods and procedures in supporting the learning of central concepts of Informatics in primary education. The project, contributed by eight university groups, runs in two rounds in 2022, with teachers’ feedback helping to fine-tune the deployment of the interventions. The results that are beginning to emerge suggest that the two interventions may have measurable outcome differences in the short term. Additional data will soon be available to strengthen our analysis.
