The Influence of CodeCombat on Computational Thinking in Python Programming Learning at Primary School
Wan Chong Choi, Iek Chong Choi
Abstract
In an age of rapid technological development, primary schools now teach programming to young students, focusing on developing their computational thinking, problem-solving, and ability to use computers to create solutions. However, fostering computational thinking skills in younger students was a challenging task. The serious game CodeCombat has become a potential resource for instructing young students in primary schools on basic programming principles using Python.
