Despite thechallenges she faced during the process of automating her clubhouse, Jamie’s interview suggeststhat this had not significantly impacted her perception of her ability to “be good at” or “succeed”in computational thinking.Idea 3: Jamie was able to explain computational thinking principles.

It is described in detail how the new model works, using an exampleof student laboratory assignments and results. The paper also presents a modified-jigsawcooperative-learning approach that we developed and that is proven particularly useful whendealing with large classes. There exists a long-standing misconception that laboratoryexperiences become impractical as class sizes grow in numbers. Our modified-jigsaw approachrequires the instructor to meet with only a portion (one-fourth in our case) of the class, making alaboratory experience manageable even as class enrollments reach 100 or more students.
