Computational Thinking and Coding for Every Student

Autor Jane Krauss, Kiki Prottsman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 noi 2016

Evoluția educației digitale a transgresat simpla utilizare a dispozitivelor, migrând spre dezvoltarea unor structuri cognitive fundamentale. Reținem că Computational Thinking and Coding for Every Student nu este un manual tehnic de programare, ci o resursă pedagogică ce ancorează conceptele abstracte în realități familiare. Remarcăm efortul autoarelor Jane Krauss și Kiki Prottsman de a demistifica informatica, demonstrând cum activități precum tricotatul sau rezolvarea unui Sudoku sunt, în esență, exerciții de gândire computațională.

Comparabil cu Teaching Computational Thinking and Coding in Primary Schools de David Morris în rigoarea cu care tratează curriculumul, volumul de față se distinge prin abordarea sa incluzivă, fiind conceput special pentru profesorii care nu sunt specialiști în tehnologie. Structura cărții este ingenios organizată sub formă de producție cinematografică: prima parte, „Storyboarding”, stabilește fundamentul teoretic și de ce este iresponsabil să privăm elevii de aceste competențe, în timp ce partea a doua, „Casting Call”, oferă strategii de implementare imediată.

Subliniem continuitatea metodologică a lui Jane Krauss; dacă în lucrarea sa anterioară, Thinking Through Project-Based Learning, se concentra pe învățarea prin proiecte ca vehicul pentru o înțelegere profundă, aici aplică aceleași principii pentru a integra coding-ul în diverse discipline. Lucrarea ghidează educatorii prin exerciții de tip „warm-up”, promovează mișcarea în clasă și oferă liste esențiale de „Așa da/Așa nu”, transformând anxietatea tehnologică într-o explorare creativă partajată cu elevii.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte este esențială pentru educatorii care doresc să integreze gândirea computațională fără a deveni experți în software. Cititorul câștigă o metodologie clară pentru a preda logica din spatele codului prin activități accesibile, de la strategii low-tech la programarea în perechi. Este resursa ideală pentru a transforma elevii din consumatori pasivi de tehnologie în creatori activi și gânditori critici, pregătiți pentru provocările secolului XXI.


Despre autor

Jane Krauss este un nume de referință în dezvoltarea curriculară, cu o vastă experiență ca profesoară în Oregon și fost director la ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education). În prezent, își dedică expertiza Centrului Național pentru Femei și Tehnologia Informației (NCWIT), promovând diversitatea în domeniul tehnic. Co-autoarea Kiki Prottsman completează acest profil cu o abordare pragmatică asupra educației informatice. Împreună, acestea combină pedagogia bazată pe proiecte cu expertiza în tehnologie, oferind soluții aplicabile pentru cadrele didactice din întreaga lume.


Descriere scurtă

This book is for educators who see all of their students as creative thinkers and active contributors to tomorrow’s innovations. It differentiates between computing, computer science, computational thinking, programming, and coding; while showing how everyday tasks - like reading sheet music, solving a crossword or Sudoku puzzle, knitting, and other activities - are actually examples of computational thinking.

Recenzii

"Change in education and schooling comes in waves, and coding, computer science, and computational thinking represent the next very big wave. This very readable book will introduce teachers, parents and students to the future."
This book will help a lot of educators take their first steps toward bringing
high quality programming experiences to their students. It offers clear examples
and good strategies supported by research and best practices.
Wondering whether this book is for you? Check out the “dos and don’ts” of
Chapter 5 and then take them to heart. I did!
This book is so clear and so encouraging. I recommend it to my Girls Excelling
in Math and Science (GEMS) leaders as we work to incorporate more
computer science into our activities. The authors present a comprehensive
introduction to computing in a way that’s useful, readable, and fun.
