Code in motion: integrating computational thinking with kinematics exploration

Dutra, Mateo - Suárez, Álvaro - Martí, Arturo

Resumen:

Although physics has become increasingly computational, with computing even being considered the third pillar of physics [1], it is still not well integrated into physics education [2]. Research suggests that integrating Computational Thinking (CT) into physics enhances conceptual understanding and strengthens students' ability to model and analyze phenomena [3]. Building on this, we designed a didactic sequence for K9 students to foster specific CT practices while reinforcing fundamental kinematics concepts. The activity revealed students’ ability to apply CT skills and is well suited for use in introductory kinematics courses.
