Practitioner Integration in Computational Thinking Education
0 likes512 views
This document discusses integrating practitioner expertise into computational thinking education. It defines computational thinking as recognizing computation in the world and applying computing tools to understand natural, social, and artificial systems. The document then discusses a small-scale experimental setting in Waidhofen an der Thaya, Austria to test lessons learned. It outlines the research design, ideas, outcomes, conclusions and future work to improve computational thinking education through external partnerships.
Practitioner Integration in Computational Thinking Education
- 1. Practitioner Integration in Computational Thinking Education.
- 2. Big Picture
- 3. How can outside expertise best be integrated into formal Computational Thinking education? What lessons can be improved upon by a small scale experimental setting?
- 4. What is Computational Thinking?
- 7. “CT is the process of recognizing aspects of computation in the world that surrounds us and applying tools and techniques from computing to understand and reason about natural, social, and artificial systems and processes. It allows pupils to tackle problems, to break them down into solvable chunks, and to devise algorithms to solve them.” - Csizmadia et al.
- 8. understand which aspects of a problem can be solved with a tool, evaluate if a specific tool can solve a problem, understand the limitations of computational tools, adapt a computational tool to a new use, recognize new ways to use tools, and apply computational strategies in any domain.
