Abstract:

En France, depuis 2016, l'initiation à la programmation informatique est présente dans les curricula scolaires de l'école obligatoire. L'objectif de cette thèse est de comprendre le processus de conceptualisation lors de la résolution de puzzles de programmation par des sujets âgés de 7 à 15 ans. À cette fin, nous combinons les apports respectifs de la théorie des champs conceptuels (Vergnaud, 1991) et de l'analyse de traces d'interaction dans un EIAH. Nous nous concentrons sur le concept de motif, en particulier lors des premières confrontations avec la notion de boucle en programmation par b

Abstract:

Skill sets such as understanding and applying computational concepts are essential prerequisites for success in the 21st century. One can learn computational concepts by taking a traditional course offered in a school or by self-guided learning through an online platform. Collaborative learning has emerged as an approach that researchers have found to be generally applicable and effective for teaching computational concepts. Rather than learning individually, collaboration can help reduce the anxiety level of learners, improve understanding and create a positive atmosphere to learning Computat

We shall examine the Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) of Computer Science (CS) teachers concerning students’ Computational Thinking (CT) problem solving skills within the context of a CS course in Dutch secondary education and thus obtain an operational definition of CT and ascertain appropriate teaching methodology. Next we shall develop an instrument to assess students’ CT and design a curriculum intervention geared toward teaching and improving students’ CT problem solving skills and competences. As a result, this research will yield an operational definition of CT, knowledge about CT PC

Abstract:

Scratch is one of the most popular ways to teach younger children to code in K–8 throughout the U.S. and Europe. Despite its popularity, Scratch lacks a formative feedback tool to inform students and teachers of a student's progress in coding ability. Dr. Scratch was built to fill this need. This study seeks to answer if using Dr. Scratch as a formative feedback tool accelerates the students' progress in coding ability and Computational Thinking (CT).

Computational thinking (CT) is gaining recognition as an important skill for students, both in computer science and other disciplines. Although there has been much focus on this field in recent years, it is rarely taught as a formal course, and there is little consensus on what exactly CT entails and how to teach and evaluate it. This research addresses the lack of resources for integrating CT into the introductory computer science curriculum. The question that we aim to answer is whether CT can be evaluated in a meaningful way. A CT framework that outlines the skills and techniques comprising

Presenters will demonstrate how to use computational thinking to increase student motivation as well as student analytical skills. Participants will leave the session with various resources and ideas about how to integrate robotics and computational thinking into their ELA class immediately!

Abstract:

Voice commands are used in today's society to offer services like putting events into a calendar, tell you about the weather and to control the lights at home. This project tries to extend the possibilities of voice commands by improving an earlier proof of concept system that interprets intention given in natural language to program code. This improvement was made by mixing linguistic methods and neural networks to increase accuracy and flexibility of the interpretation of input. A user testing phase was made to conclude if the improvement would attract users to the interface. The results sho

Abstract:

The present research explored mental representations of number, the computational algorithms used to solve multi-digit arithmetic tasks, and how mental manipulation of exact quantities are modulated by individual differences in working memory capacity and method of instruction through six experiments. The first three experiments focused on holistic or decomposed mental representation of 2-digit numbers in Australian university students using a magnitude judgement and number bisection task. Since holistic or decomposed magnitude representations are associated with different multi-digit addition

Abstract:

Teaching computational thinking has been a focus of recent efforts to broaden the reach of computer science (CS) education for today’s students who live and work in a world that is heavily influenced by computing principles. Computational thinking (CT) essentially means thinking like a computer scientist by using principles and concepts learned in CS as part of our daily lives. Not only is CT essential for the development of computer applications, but it can also be used to support problem solving across all disciplines. Computational thinking involves solving problems by drawing from skills f

Esta tese descreve um estudo quase experimental que teve como objetivo: investigar a relação entre a construção do Pensamento Computacional e o desenvolvimento do raciocínio de estudantes dos últimos anos do Ensino Fundamental. A pesquisa foi realizada utilizando um curso de extensão em Desenvolvimento de Games, ofertado em 2 escolas particulares de Porto Alegre, tendo a participação de 50 alunos. A prática de ensino-aprendizagem proposta foi construída com base em pressupostos teóricos da aprendizagem significativa e aprendizagem experiencial.

Abstract:

Computer scientists have been working towards a common definition of abstraction; however, the instruction and assessment of abstraction remain categorically underresearched. Because abstraction is often cited as a component of computational thinking, abstraction has been summarily likened to a higher order thinking skill. A broad conceptual framework including philosophy, psychology, constructionism, and computational thinking was aligned with the descriptive qualitative design and guided the literature review and data analysis. This qualitative examination of how teachers determine curriculu

Programmering har introducerats som ett nytt delmoment i den svenska läroplanen sedan2018. Denna fallstudie har därför fokuserat på elevers förståelse för programmering iintroducerande undervisning. Detta för att hjälpa lärare att få en bättre förståelse för hur de kanimplementera programmering i sin undervisning. Teorin datalogiskt tänkande har använts somgrund för analys av datamaterialet, för att identifiera elevers inkrementella och iterativa processsamt testa och felsöka processen.

Educational Psychology<br>Ph.D.<br>The fundamentals of computer science are increasingly important to consider as critical educational and occupational competencies, as evidenced by the rapid growth of computing capabilities and the proliferation of the Internet in the 21st century, combined with reimagined national education standards. Despite this technological and social transformation, the general education environment has yet to embrace widespread incorporation of computational concepts within traditional curricular content and instruction. Researchers have posited that exercises in compu
