About
Astrid Cuida is a researcher focused on the intersection of computational thinking and teacher education, with a particular emphasis on how pre-service teachers navigate the challenges of coding and programming language translation. Her work addresses a critical gap in educational technology: the cognitive and pedagogical difficulties that arise when learners must translate between different sequential programming languages. Cuida’s 2024 paper, “The importance of coding and translation between programming languages in sequential activities of pre-service teachers,” has garnered 2 citations, highlighting its emerging relevance in the field. Complementing this, her 2023 study, “Errores de traducción entre lenguajes de programación secuenciales en actividades con Cubetto,” also with 2 citations, investigates translation errors in the context of the Cubetto educational robot—a tangible tool for early computational thinking. Together, these works establish Cuida as a researcher who bridges theoretical frameworks with practical classroom applications, offering insights into how future educators can better support young learners in developing problem-solving skills through computer science. Her contributions are particularly valuable for curriculum designers and teacher trainers seeking to integrate computational thinking effectively from an early age.
