LET CONFERENCE 2018 The 2018 conference on two core themes; Regulated Learning and  Collaborative learning, Socially Shared Regulation of Learning was very interesting as it highlighted the current trends or direction in collaborative learning  and regulation of learning as well as new possibility of studying these learning phenomena. Discussing the aim, background, foundation, results and application of the research done by expert researchers and PhD student in the LET unit. In this blog post, I write about the aim, background, foundation of research, methods, results, areas of application and a brief reflection of what I learned with recommendations. Enjoy  .

A Framework for Computational Thinking and Collaboration among Second Graders in Finland Introduction Computational Thinking (CT) is a basic skill for everyone that is centered on problem-solving, designing systems, and understanding human behavior (Wing, 2008). It draws on a wide range of cognitive tools such as abstraction, decomposition, pattern recognition, and algorithms to assess and identify a problem, assess the problem, and design solutions to the problem (Wing, 2008). According to Wing (2008), CT should be taught as reading and writing. CT has been integrated into many curricular around the world through subjects such as mathematics, informatics, and information technology (Bocconi & Chioccariello, 2016) but not as a standalone subject. Specifically, in Finland, CT is taught as part of Math and Crafts. CT can also be learned through online platforms. Learning CT occurs through formal education, informal education, through self-directed learning or community-based l
