There are increasing calls for mathematics teachers to foster computational thinking (CT) skills in their lessons and align them with existing curricula national educational policies. Algorithmic (AT) generalization two key elements of CT that often underrepresented traditional lessons. This study investigated how address AT aspects 12th-grade calculus using the dynamic software GeoGebra. We present a six-lesson intervention designed by an interdisciplinary team researchers background...

Abstract Nowadays, mathematics teachers in K–12 strive to promote their students‘ mathematical knowledge and computational thinking (CT) skills. There is an increasing need for effective CT-embedded learning material a better understanding of students’ views toward them. In this work, we present the results research study, which included design six-lesson activity aimed at fostering 16- 17-year-old secondary CT skills calculus lessons using dynamic software GeoGebra . Our goal was...

Abstract Computational thinking (CT) is gaining attention in education as a part of digital literacy and can be addressed several disciplines, including mathematics. Through the lens Brennan Resnick’s framework, we investigated how computational concepts, practices, perspectives upper-secondary statistics lessons using spreadsheets through design-based research. Three classes of, total, 58 16- to 17-year-old 11th-grade students explored authentic real-life data sets three 2-h sessions...

Problem. To investigate and identify promising practices in equitable K-12 tertiary computer science (CS) education, the capacity for education researchers to conduct this research must be rapidly built globally. Simultaneously, concerns have arisen over last few years about quality of that is being conducted lack supports teaching all students computing.

The introduction of programming in K-12 can also include elements other STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) subjects like engineering design and mathematics. Parametric Design is a paradigm which often related to architecture. Emerging technologies additive manufacturing (3D printing) modern CAD (Computer Aided Design) tools have enabled complex parametric designs not only by professionals but hobbyists youth as well. In this paper we present our empirical...

Nowadays, the ability to code is becoming increasingly important in industry and often mentioned as a crucial skill for future employment. In maker culture, program along with other technical skills exceeds this limitation also includes fun activities through personally fabricated projects. paper, we examine computational design projects that are intended be 3D printed could potentially introduce coding learning actions. To find computationally rich designs appealing learners, conducted data...

To investigate and identify promising practices in equitable K-12 computer science (CS) education, the capacity for education researchers to conduct this research must be rapidly built globally. Simultaneously, concerns have arisen over last few years about quality of that is being conducted lack equity-focused research.

Across the globe, Computer Science Education has grown tremendously over past decade to teach primary and secondary students computing ideas tools. From integrating computational thinking in disciplines teaching computer science as a stand alone subject, models for teacher preparation range from one done professional learning workshops full certificate licensure programs. The group will focus on providing landscape of how CS teachers are prepared academically various countries make...

There are increasing calls to introduce coding in K-12 creative ways that provide opportunities for personal expression. Computational design projects include computational concepts fundamental computer science generate 2D and 3D models can potentially be personally meaningful. We developed implemented making-based activities youth combine printing tools allow the participants fabricate free-choice projects. To investigate how young persons engaged which aspects demotivated them, we used a...
