Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the impact of web technologies on the development of computational thinking of students with mental disabilities. The experiment involved 14 students aged 8-12. For 8 weeks children were trained in computational thinking and computer science. Assessment of computational thinking was performed with cCT-test by El-Hamamsi et al. before and after the experiment (El-Hamamsy, L., Zapata-Cáceres, M., Barroso, E. M., Mondada, F., Zufferey, J. D., & Bruno, B. (2022). The competent Computational Thinking Test: Development and Validation of an Unplugged Computational Thinking Test for Upper Primary School. Journal of Educational Computing Research, 07356331221081753 https://doi.org/10.1177/07356331221081753). After conducting computer science lessons using web technologies the respondents showed a higher level of computational thinking (M=15,7, SD=3,69), compared to the results of preliminary testing (M=5,93, SD=2,3). Web technologies can significantly increase the effectiveness of inclusive pedagogy, which establishes the importance of integrating web technologies into the teaching system in inclusive classes of general education schools.
