“This study presents the research that was performed over the national curriculum of Bulgaria, Latvia, Spain and Portugal and that resulted in the construction of matrixes with topics where tangible programming could be applied. The topics are grouped under three main subjects: Mathematics, Science & Engineering and Technology.
To collect field data and gather relevant information about the application of tangible programming in the classroom,a questionnaire was distributed to 157 teachers and researchers of the participating countries. Additionally, a focus groups was conducted in each of these countries.The collected data shows that teachers recognize the importance of introducing programming and logical thinking concepts to 6 –12-year-oldchildren but lack the skills and tools to explore these subjects. It was also noted that teachers are eager to use tangible programming resources in the classroom and that this is an approach that will motivate students into STEM related subjects and promote inclusion.”
