Abstract

This study aims to examine the different ways in which early years teachers lay solid foundations for computational thinking in the early years. Moreover, it aims to uncover the materials and activities that tend to run in the classroom background to promote computational thinking skills of children without being noticed as part of a daily routine. Therefore, it is designed to understand more about the attitudes of early childhood teachers towards computational thinking, the linkage between their attitudes and teaching practices, and the potential computational thinking benefits of children reaped from classroom games and activities.
