years to promote computer science skills in the initialschool years. Nowadays, computational thinking has been widely recognized as a fundamentalskill to be used by everyone in the world by the middle of the 21st Century. Computationalthinking is also considered crucial for developing engineering habits of minds and solvingengineering problems [2]. When students work on coding, they can learn how to design acomputer program while developing their computational thinking skills [3]. Computationalthinking (CT) includes the thought processes involved in formulating problems, solvingproblems, building systems, and human behavior through the lens of computer science concepts[4]. However, little is known about how and to what extent children acquire

2011NRC report from the Workshop on Computational Thinking, it was noted that CT is crucial tothe development of engineering habits of mind and in solving engineering problems [9].Therefore, given the cross-disciplinary nature of CT and engineering and the reality for teachersto address current educational reforms, both CT and engineering provide avenues for thinkingabout STEM integration and the successful integration of both engineering and CT intoclassrooms [10], [11]. Within the work on elementary engineering instruction, research has found that whenlearning engineering, students need opportunities to learn from failure, work in teams, practiceall phases of the engineering design process, and apply their mathematics and

engineering curriculum, it is often in the form of simulation [5].Simulation may help students develop modeling skills while also deepening their intuition ofcomplicated math topics [5]–[7]. Dickerson and Clark [7] researched the role of SPICE (anelectronics circuit simulation computer program) in university microelectronics courses. Theyexplored the difference between teaching a course using an interactive simulation in-class versusteaching the course without. Students reported that engaging in the simulation helped them withtest and quiz problems, and that they felt they understood something from the simulation thatthey would not have learned without it. These students scored higher on the final exam thanstudents who did not take the course with

incorporate robotics into K-12STEM curricula. The notion of computational thinking is broad and it has recently emerged as animportant construct in K-12 education [13,14]. Cognitive process and abilities using which humansdiscover concepts, rules, and procedures to solve problems is termed as computational thinking[15]. Guided by metacognition, learning such concepts and rules enhances one’s ability to reasonand solve problems [15]. In order to use robotics in STEM lessons, students need to have somelevel of computational thinking as a prerequisite. Otherwise, they may not be able to fully graspthe benefits of using robotics in their STEM learning. Nonetheless, the prerequisites ofcomputational thinking may not fully encapsulate the varied knowledge
