摘要：This paper is a comparative quantitative evaluation of an approach to teaching poetr y i n the subject domain of English that employs a 'guided discovery' pedagogy using compute r - based microworlds. It uses a quasi - experimental design in order to measure performance gains in computational thinking and poetic thinking following a microworld - b ased intervention in English lessons . Preliminary findings reveal a distinct increase in computational thinking and poetic thinking performance for learners who participated in the intervention. There is also some evidence, though this requires further res earch, to suggest a relationship betw een high performance in computational thinking and high performance in poetic thinking
