Multiple Intelligence’s and Computational Thinking

Abstract

Stakeholders from education are determined to introduce computational thinking (CT) and programming much earlier into the educational process. Thus, according to international trends, programming has grown progressively, reaching a significant focus within the EU and other countries. Since future research needs to be undertaken to investigate the interrelationship between CT skills and competencies, we designed a project to be carried out during one year with 9-year-old students attending a primary school of Basic Education. This article presents the results achieved until we had the chance since the COVID pandemic disturbed the investigation's final part.
