In all, 265students participated in the activity.Two researchers facilitated the CALE activity in the classrooms. The activity ranged in durationfrom 30-50 minutes, depending on classroom schedules. After completing the activity in eachclassroom, researchers made field notes and discussed aspects of the activity that did and did notwork. Because the activity was in development, we refined and updated the activity as

Conceptual Framework. ​The study uses mixed methods. However, the initial phase of the study is highly explorative, and dependent on interpretation of qualitative data.

(Fundamental) IntroductionThe increased focus on computational thinking (CT) has grown in recent years for variousreasons, such as a general concern about (a) a lack of global competitiveness among Americanstudents and general literacy in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields (Hsu& Cardella, 2013), (b) maintaining the economic competitiveness of the U.S. (Yadav, Hong, &Stephenson, 2016), and (c) preparing students adequately for a society that is increasinglytechnological (NRC, 2011). CT can help individuals analyze and understand multiple dimensionsof a complex problem and identify and apply appropriate tools or techniques to address acomplex problem (Wing, 2010). Furthermore

The Legitimation Code theory (LCT) hasbeen used to support knowledge-building by enabling dialogue between theory and data or to relatetheory and practice [6]. Used in many disciplines such as biology, physics, nursing, English,cultural studies, music, and design, LCT connotes five principles that explain disciplinarydispositions, practices, and discourse: a) autonomy; b) density; c) specialization; d) semantics; ande) temporality.
