Subject goals and competencies:

In the 21st century, computational thinking is a skill critical for all the world`s citizens. Computing and technology is impacting all our lives and everyone needs to know how to formulate problems and express their solutions such that a computer can carry it out. In this course, students will learn different aspects of computational thinking, and approaches for teaching them in the primary and secondary education. They will learn a block-based language and novel approaches designed to make learning programming easier.

11.

Subject content:

Introduction to Computational Thinking. Using abstractions and pattern recognition to represent problems in new and different ways. Logical organization and analysis of data. Decomposition of problems into smaller parts. Attack the problem using programming thinking techniques such as iteration, symbolic representation, and logical operations. Online and offline tools for developing computational thinking. Computational thinking in educational digital games. Elements of block (visual) programming language and implementation of solutions in it.

Learning methods:

Предавања со користење на презентации, интерактивни предавања, вежби (користење на опрема и софтверски пакети), тимска работа, пример случаи, поканети гости предавачи, самостојна изработка и одбрана на проектна задача и семинарска работа.
