Algorithmic thinking and mathematical competences supported via entertaining problems
Original language description
The essential part of studies at the faculties instructing students in the field of computer science is not only the development of student’s ability to think algorithmically, but also to enhance their mathematical competences - the ability to develop and apply mathematical thinking in order to solve a range of problems in everyday situations. Besides a deep analysis of the topic and discussion on mutual relationships within the problem solving, the involvement of students into the subject is a very important educational factor. Practical and entertaining problems attract students not only to know more about the explained subject matter, but also and more importantly, to apply gained knowledge. If an interesting task is assigned as prototype to a new topic using a picture and resulting explanation of the task solution, both spatial and verbal working memory is required and students recall the explained subject matter much better. In the paper we pay attention to the role of entertaining problems as a useful study material supporting development of both, algorithmic thinking and mathematical competences.
