Developing algorithmic thinking without programming by designing instructions for encryption

Résumé

Algorithmic thinking is an important part of digital literacy, enabling learners to navigate the digital world with confidence. As part of a Design Research study with 22 learners in grades 5 and 6 so far, it was investigated to what extent the children learn to think algorithmically when they discover an encryption algorithm without use of a programming language. It was found that some learners can intuitively and independently develop certain algorithmic thinking ideas (such as sequencing and loops) when writing instructions (=developing an algorithm). Hurdles show up in the degree of precision and the degree of generality of the instructions.
