摘要:This study examined the effectiveness of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art,Mathematics) integrated approach via Scratch on five subconstructs of computational thinking(CT) among 29 male and 30 female students. A quasi-experimental design was employed in theresearch. The participants demonstrated the application of CT in designing games via Scratchduring the intervention. The Computational Thinking Survey (CTS) was administered pre-CT andpost- CT tests in measuring the five subconstructs of CT. Repeated multivariate analysis of variance(MANOVA) results showed that the intervention positively affected male and female students’ comprehension concerning the five subconstructs of CT. The results were strengthened by therepeated measure of analysis of variance (ANOVA) with posthoc comparisons, indicating all fivesubconstructs of CT increased significantly (p < .05). Indirectly, this research introduced a newteaching methodology for students’ CT level in the current electronic and technology-advancedera and increased concept manipulation capacity among male and female students.
