In recent years the influence of the “high performing” Asian cultures has been felt in UK education, particularly in mathematics teaching. However, China, and in paticular the region of Shanghai, also does exceptionally well in teaching the reading o... Read More about Lessons from a Shanghai reading lesson.

Designing Multimodal Composition Activities for Integrated K-5 Programming and Storytelling (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Whyte, R., Ainsworth, S. E., & Medwell, J. (2020). Designing Multimodal Composition Activities for Integrated K-5 Programming and Storytelling. In The Interdisciplinarity of the Learning Sciences, 14th International Conference of the Learning Sciences (ICLS) 2020 (1317-1324)

A broad interest in embedding computing into K-5 settings has resulted in a proliferation of research on integrated approaches to programming. Although much of these efforts focus on supporting learning in science, engineering, and mathematics (or ST...

Designing for Integrated K-5 Computing and Literacy through Story-making Activities (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Whyte, R., Ainsworth, S., & Medwell, J. (2019). Designing for Integrated K-5 Computing and Literacy through Story-making Activities. In ICER '19: Proceedings of the 2019 ACM Conference on International Computing Education Research (167-175). https://doi.org/10.1145/3291279.3339425

Proponents of computing education have long stressed the value of computing for learning in other disciplines. Much of the research towards this end has focused on supporting learning in science, engineering, and mathematics (or STEM). However, a tre...
