Summary:

This case study explores the challenges of conducting a culture-based educational design research project for early childhood educators in an online environment that is further complicated by an international pandemic. The project applied a systematic learning process to better understand computational thinking. Twelve early childhood educators completed a pre-assessment, an hour-long e-learning module, an online professional development workshop, and a post-assessment. These data were analyzed to determine whether a process to learning can significantly develop educators' computational thinking competence and ultimately prepare them for integrating computational thinking in their teaching and learning. This case study provides an overview of the project, discusses the research design, and evaluates the educational design research process in an early childhood education environment. After reading this case study, readers will be able to design instruments for research, describe the challenges of educational design research, and assess systematic processes to learning.
