Exploring Computational Thinking in the Context of Mathematics Learning in Secondary Schools: Dispositions, Engagement and Learning Performance

Limited research has been conducted on the influence of computational thinking (CT) dispositions on students’ mathematics performance and engagement at the secondary or junior high school level. This study aims to bridge this research gap by developing CT-integrated mathematics lessons that incorpor...
