Concept-building Oriented Programming Education

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In this methodological paper we present a possible approach to teaching programming to 12 to 14-year-old pupils. The effort to target programming education at concept building by creating pupils’ mental models has its origin in didactics of mathematics. Didactical environments are constructed that present pupils with a set of similar tasks of increasing difficulty with the same underlying concept. The world of Scratch is simplified in these environments to let pupils to focus on the given problem. Learning thus becomes more effective. An active pupil solves sets of problems in one didactical environment, is guided through various situations in which the concept is at play and builds a generic model of the concept. A set of teacher and pupil’s materials were developed within the project PRIM, whose goal is to move the compulsory school subject Informatics towards computational thinking. These materials, framed by the particular context of computing in the Czech educational system, support teaching of programming and are currently tested in schools. The paper presents concretized principles for creation of educational materials for teaching programming. These principles are illustrated in different didactical environments, on various types of pupils’ activities, tasks and problems. Also experience from a pilot research study of teaching conducted with experienced teachers is presented.
