Teaching Environments: Key Influences and Considerations

The following key challenges previously identified (see task force/EDUSummIT report – Appendix 1) were all considered by delegates to apply in their own countries but with varying importance at different stages in their processes of curriculum change.

We argue that its core ideas can be introduced in an inspiring and integrated way to both teachers and students using fun and contextually rich cs4fn 'Computer Science for Fun' stories combined with 'unplugged' activities including games and magic tricks. We also argue that understanding people is an important part of computational thinking. Computational thinking can be fun for everyone when taught in kinaesthetic ways away from technology.
KEYCIT 2014 - Key Competencies in Informatics and ICT, 2015

This paper presents the results of an expert rating of the levels of students' competences done for the items of the instrument. At first we will describe the difficulty-relevant features that were used for the evaluation. These were deduced from computer science, psychological and didactical findings and resources. Potentials and desiderata of this research method are discussed further on. Finally we will present our conclusions on the results and give an outlook on further steps.

A Learning Management System (LMS) had been developed for the assistance in solving typical task structures, that are used for a period of three and a half years in the apprenticeship. In this study, the Critical Incident Technique (CIT) is applied for the observations. For the subsequent analysis, a classification of incidents is performed. The most important incidents as well as conclusions for Technical Enhanced Learning (TEL) in similar domains are presented.

V. zum Thema informatische Bildung in Kita und Grundschule vor. Hierzu wurde zunächst eine bildungstheoretisch orientierte Analyse hinsichtlich des Kerns der Fachwissenschaft Informatik durchgeführt. Basierend hierauf wie auch auf weiteren Analysen der Potenziale und Lebensumstände der Kinder sowie entsprechender internationaler Curricula für die Primarstufe werden Kompetenzbereiche zur frühen informatischen Bildung erarbeitet. Dazu wird auf den Rahmen der GI-Standards für die Sekundarstufen zurückgegriffen, die für die Zielgruppe der Kitaund Grundschulkinder um den weiteren Prozessbereich „P0 Interagieren und Explorieren“ erweitert werden. Anschließend werden aus dem so erweiterten Rahmen vier Kombinationen von Prozessund Inhaltsbereichen besonders im Hinblick auf deren allgemeinbildende Bedeutung als förderwürdig vorgeschlagen. Ergänzt werden sie um Empfeh...

This article, developed from a synthesis and analysis of previous research, examines the implications of recent developments in machine learning for human learners and learning. In this article we first compare deep learning in computers and humans to examine their similarities and differences. Deep learning is identified as a sub-set of machine learning, which is itself a component of artificial intelligence. Deep learning often depends on backwards propagation in weighted neural networks, so is non-deterministic—the system adapts and changes through practical experience or training. This adaptive behaviour predicates the need for explainability and accountability in such systems. Accountability is the reverse of explainability. Explainability flows through the system from inputs to output (decision) whereas accountability flows backwards, from a decision to the perso...
