その他の書誌記述:Objective. This study aimed to examin the relationship between computational thinking skills and metacognitive abilities in primary school children. Method. Seventy-three students aged from 9 to 10 years participated. They were divided and assigned either to a computational-thinking training group (n = 43) or to a traditional-instruction group (n = 30). Computational thinking and metamemory were assessed using standardized tests. Both mediation analyses and multivariate regression models were conducted. Results. The experimental group obtained significantly higher computational-thinking scores (M = 16.42) compared to the control group (M = 10.63). Furthermore, the first group committed fewer total metamemory errors (M = 4.67) in compariason to the second (M =7.70). The correlation between computational thinking and metamemory was significant (r = -.579, p < .001), and the model accounted 52.3% of the variance. In addition, the gender of participants influenced the computational-thinking performance, whereas maternal education predicted metamemory outcomes. To conclude, the findings provide empirical evidence of the interaction between computational thinking and metacognitive processes in childhood.
