Abstract

This study investigated whether Chromebooks and Scratch collaborative coding could improve Grade 7 problem-solving skills. During the organized intervention, students completed coding homework in groups. The program taught them reasoning, critical thinking, and teamwork. Results demonstrated that learners improve at problem-solving, code-fixing, and pattern-spotting. They scored 89.30% on computational thinking tests. Students gained confidence and were more open to new ideas by studying together. Survey findings showed that individuals were involved, and Chromebooks made real-time collaboration and feedback easier. According to the study, structured group coding, guided reflection, and peer mentorship improved students' problem-solving skills and closed performance discrepancies. The study suggested gamification strategies such as debugging races, scaffolded collaborative projects, and Scratch-based teacher training. Future research should examine how people recall abilities and how to apply collaborative coding in many fields. Scratch with cooperation on Chromebooks enhances problem-solving, creativity, and computational thinking. This approach makes middle school ICT instruction effective.
