Computational thinking has become an important issue in the field of education. Because preschool and kindergarten learners are capable of exercising their cognitive abilities to resolve basic computational logic, this demographic has raised significant interest in studying their learning intentions and behaviors. However, prior research fails to examine the effects of teaching computational logic to kindergarten children. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the influences of teaching approaches in guiding preschool children to learn computational logic and programming concepts to enhance their problem-solving skills as well as computational thinking abilities. A novel teaching framework is designed to develop the learner’s cognitive abilities, which adopts the smart toy game-based learning approach along with a tangible user interface (TUI) to enhance children’s learning performance and interests. The proposed teaching approach integrates the game-based learning concepts into the TUI system, where the learning processes allow the learners to effectively practice the conceptual knowledge and efficiently advance their problem-solving skills. The results suggest using the developed game-based TUI system can increase preschool children’s learning behaviors as well as enhance their learning interests and computational thinking abilities.

通过基于游戏的智能玩具增强学龄前儿童的计算思维能力

计算思维已成为教育领域的重要问题。由于学前班和幼儿园的学习者能够锻炼他们的认知能力来解决基本的计算逻辑,因此,这一人口统计学引起了人们对研究他们的学习意图和行为的极大兴趣。但是,先前的研究未能检验教学逻辑对幼儿园儿童的影响。因此,本研究旨在探讨教学方法对指导学龄前儿童学习计算逻辑和编程概念以增强其解决问题的能力以及计算思维能力的影响。设计了新颖的教学框架来发展学习者的认知能力,它采用基于智能玩具游戏的学习方法以及有形的用户界面(TUI),以提高孩子的学习成绩和兴趣。所提出的教学方法将基于游戏的学习概念整合到TUI系统中,该系统的学习过程允许学习者有效地练习概念知识并有效地提高其解决问题的能力。结果表明,使用开发的基于游戏的TUI系统可以增加学龄前儿童的学习行为,并增强他们的学习兴趣和计算思维能力。在学习过程中,学习者可以有效地练习概念知识并有效地提高其解决问题的能力。结果表明,使用开发的基于游戏的TUI系统可以增加学龄前儿童的学习行为,并增强他们的学习兴趣和计算思维能力。在学习过程中,学习者可以有效地练习概念知识并有效地提高其解决问题的能力。结果表明,使用开发的基于游戏的TUI系统可以增加学龄前儿童的学习行为,并增强他们的学习兴趣和计算思维能力。
