Abstract

This paper analyzed the effects of a cognitive flexibility hypertext learning environment to improve computational thinking skills, and perceptions and attitudes towards software in university software education. The research questions were ‘Is cognitive flexibility hypertext learning environments effective in improving university students’ computational thinking skills?’ and ‘Is cognitive flexibility hypertext learning environments effective in improving university students’ perceptions and attitudes towards software?’. The following conclusions can be drawn based on the results of the study: First, cognitive flexibility hypertext learning environments can be effective in improving university students’ computational thinking skills. In particular, it was found that cognitive flexibility hypertext learning environments can be effective in promoting pattern recognition. Second, cognitive flexibility hypertext learning environments can have no effect in improving university students’ perceptions and attitudes towards software. Based on the discussions, cognitive flexibility hypertext learning environments can be an effective method to develop learners’ computational thinking skills in university software education.
