  1. Computational thinking is acknowledged as a fundamental and essential competency that everyone needs to learn for the future. Game-based learning could be a potential platform for improving students’ computational thinking competency with respect to its unique features. However, prior research studies in the field of using games to improve computational thinking draw predominant attention to programming concepts and skills which are fundamental skills of computer science than developing computational thinking competency which students can use across the interdisciplinary. Therefore, the current study investigated how curriculum-oriented game-based learning impacted middle school students’ learning processes, particularly on the development of students’ computational thinking competency, self-efficacy toward computational thinking, and learning engagement in terms of their grade, gender, and prior gaming experience.
