Advancing AI-aided Computational Thinking in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) Education (\( \mathbf{\mathit{A}}\mathit{ct} \)-STEM)

This chapter presents a novel approach to revolutionize STEM education with the computational thinking (CT) and Active teaching model and its implementation for skill knowledge learning (Act-STEM). We examine the effectiveness of using computational thinking on students’ understanding and competence in STEM discipline learning. The work is built upon two successful pilot projects that demonstrated a broad impact on student learning outcomes.
