Resumen
The project aims to evaluate how different programming environments (Scratch, Scratch with Kibotics, and Python with Kibotics) influence the development of computational thinking in secondary school students. Using a quasi-experimental design with 161 students aged 14, progress was measured through pre- and post-tests, as well as a final programming exam. Results show that using Kibotics significantly enhances computational skills, especially when combined with Scratch. Additionally, Kibotics appears to help reduce gender performance gaps.
Descripción
A quasi-experimental design with control group was used, applying pre- and post-intervention tests to measure the development of computational thinking. Data were collected through a validated questionnaire and a final programming exam, after the completion of instructional sessions with three different environments: Scratch, Scratch with Kibotics, and Python with Kibotics.
