Activities for Developing Explain Computational Thinking

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Various documents issued by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports influence education in the Czech Republic, the most important of which being the Framework Educational Program for Preschool, Primary and Secondary Education. As any other document, the Framework Educational Program, too, needs to be updated. The update should be based on the document titled Strategy for Education Policy of the Czech Republic until 2020. Published in November 2014, it stresses the importance of implementing modern technology into education, i.e. the development of digital literacy and the full use of this technology to solve problems (i.e. to develop computational thinking). These are enormous changes which will influence all levels of education - from kindergartens to elementary schools to high schools. The current Framework Educational Program does not include the aforementioned points. The update is primarily aimed at the area of information and communication technologies, which has not been updated since 2004. This section should now include information on how (using what methodology) to help students develop their computational thinking - to formulate a problem, organize information in a logical manner, find solutions to problems, use algorithmic thinking to automate problem solving (solving problems step by step). Since this is an unexplored area, the aforementioned ?Strategy? focuses on creating study materials for both the students and the teachers. The teacher needs to be digitally literate and think computationally in order to be able to help their students develop these skills. However, we are in the beginning of this ?renaissance? - creation of study materials, methodological manuals, e-learning courses in the form of massive open online courses. The paper focuses on various strategies and methods which would support the development of computational (algorithmic) thinking. As the changes influence levels of education, the authors decided to focus preschool children.
