Softcover. Zustand: As New. Originalverpackt. The school system, while governed by national regulations, faces didactical challenges that merit international discussion, particularly in informatics education. Unlike many scientific fields, informatics experiences rapid technical and scientific advancements, even at the secondary school level. This discipline is scrutinized more closely by parents, employers, and policymakers, as it is perceived as essential for securing good job prospects. Policymakers are keen on fostering a population skilled in modern technology to bolster national wealth. However, the validity of these high expectations raises questions about educational objectives. The 1st International Conference on Informatics in Secondary Schools highlighted the challenges informatics teachers face in bridging the gap between imparting essential informatics knowledge and ensuring students achieve computer literacy. With limited instructional time, these educational goals often conflict. Furthermore, while computer-supported teaching and eLearning are distinct from informatics education, many educators are still expected to assist with eTeaching initiatives. This dual role complicates the already challenging task of effectively teaching informatics in schools.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Although the school system is subject to specific national regulations, didactical issues warrant discussion on an international level. This applies specifically to informatics didactics. In contrast to most other scientific disciplines, informatics undergoes substantial technical and scientific changes and shifts of paradigms even at the basic level taught in secondary school. Moreover, informatics education is under more stringent observation from parents, potential employers, and policy makers than other disciplines. It is considered to be a modern discipline. Hence, being well-educated in informatics seemingly ensures good job perspectives. Further, policy makers pay attention to informatics education, hoping that a young population well-educated in this modern technology will contribute to the future wealth of the nation. But are such high aspirations justified What should school aim at in order to live up to such expectations ISSEP 2005, the 1st International Conference on Informatics in Secondary Schools - Evolution and Perspectives already showed that informatics teachers have to bridge a wide gap [1, 2]. On one hand, they have to show the inherent properties that informatics (or computer science) can contribute to general education. On the other hand, they are to make pupils computer literate. Under the constraint of limited time available for instruction, these different educational aims come into conflict. Computer-supported teaching or eLearning is to be considered distinct from informatics education. However, in many countries, informatics teachers still have to support the eTeaching activities of their colleagues.…
