An Empirical Study on Blended Learning to Promote the Development of Computational Thinking Ability of College Students

Studies have shown that learning approaches are able to promote the developments of computational thinking on students, including cooperative learning, project-based learning, online communication, Academic dialogue etc. Therefore, these learning approaches can combine with the traditional teaching in a more effective way. Blended learning may promote the developments of computational thinking on students. The paper takes the junior College students as the experimental objects, and carries a pretest-posttest study through unequal experimental and control groups. It approved that blended learning has a positive impact on the college student's computational thinking, i.e., they have an obvious progress.
