The University of California Irvine (UCI) is partnering with the Orange County Department of Education (OCDE) and Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) to form a collaborative network of university and K-12 researchers and practitioners with the aim of promoting computational thinking for students in grades three through five. The intention is to build connections to a broader curriculum as reflected in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), to the language and discourse needed to ensure academic success, and to the learners' peers, community, families and culture needed to make learning relational and meaningful. The work will be situated in Santa Ana schools, where the majority of students are low-income, Hispanic, English language learners. It will use the principles of Design-Based Implementation Research (DBIR), designing interventions to implement, study and refine, alongside OCDE and SAUSD.In the first academic year, the team will visit partner elementary schools to gather information about current teaching of computational thinking, conduct a district-wide survey of elementary school teachers, and gather examples of instructional materials developed nationally to determine those that could be adapted locally. During the first summer, researchers will work with a team of teachers to develop pilot materials and instructional units for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade levels. These materials--scaffolded for non-native English speakers--will integrate computational thinking with NGSS and CCSS. During the second year, teachers will implement the instructional materials in their classrooms with support from UCI and OCDE. Data will be gathered to study the implementation process, the challenges faced and how they are addressed, the extent to which the materials engage the learners on the emotional, behavioral, and cognitive levels, and the suitability of the materials for promoting computational thinking among the targeted learners. During the second summer, the team will further refine materials for broader implementation in Orange County.

加州大学欧文分校（UCI）正在与奥兰治县教育部（OCDE）和圣安娜联合学区（SAUSD）合作，形成一个由大学和K-12研究人员和实践者组成的合作网络，旨在促进三年级到五年级学生的计算思维。其目的是建立与下一代科学标准（NGSS）和共同核心州标准（CCSS）所反映的更广泛课程的联系，与确保学业成功所需的语言和话语的联系，以及与学习者的同龄人、社区、家庭和文化的联系，使学习变得有关系和有意义。这项工作将在圣安娜学校进行，那里的大多数学生都是低收入的西班牙裔英语学习者。它将使用基于设计的实施研究（DBIR）的原则，与OCDE和SAUSD一起设计实施、研究和改进的干预措施。在第一学年，该小组将访问合作小学，收集有关当前计算思维教学的信息，对小学教师进行全区调查，并收集全国开发的教学材料的示例，以确定哪些可以在当地进行调整。在第一个夏天，研究人员将与一组教师合作，为三年级、四年级和五年级开发试点材料和教学单元。这些材料——为非英语母语者搭建——将把计算思维与NGSS和CCSS结合起来。在第二年，教师将在UCI和OCDE的支持下在课堂上实施教学材料。将收集数据来研究实施过程、面临的挑战以及如何解决这些挑战、材料在情感、行为和认知层面上吸引学习者的程度，以及材料在目标学习者中促进计算思维的适用性。在第二个夏天，该团队将进一步完善材料，以便在奥兰治县更广泛地实施。
