Paula M. Castro; Óscar Fresnedo; Adriana Dapena; Javier Pereira; Francisco J. Vázquez-Araujo – Journal of Service-Learning in Higher Education, 2024
Service-Learning (SL) is a powerful methodology to acquire competences and values in Higher Education. However, there is still no widespread use in Information and Computer Science (ICS) degrees where most of the subjects are focused on the development of theoretical and practical contents purely related to technical competences. In this paper, we…

Direct linkCsapó, Gábor; Sebestyén, Katalin; Csernoch, Mária; Abari, Kálmán – Education and Information Technologies, 2021
In Hungary, K-12 informatics/computer science education focuses on mostly surface-based methods. This approach can be observed in the teaching of several topics in the subject, of which we focus on spreadsheet management. This is further emphasized by regulatory documents -- the Hungarian National Core Curriculum and Hungarian Curriculum…

Vanícek, Jirí; Simandl, Václav; Klofác, Patrik – Informatics in Education, 2021
This paper focuses on the analysis of Bebras Challenge tasks to find Informatics tasks that develop abstract thinking. Our study seeks to find which Bebras tasks develop abstraction and in what way. We analysed hundreds of tasks from the Czech contest to identify those tasks requiring participants to abstract directly or use abstract structures.…

Valentina Dagiene; Gintautas Grigas; Tatjana Jevsikova – Informatics in Education, 2024
The work of Niklaus Wirth, designer of the Pascal programming language, has led to the introduction of programming in schools in many countries often leading to a transformation in the way of thinking. In this article, we provide a retrospective analysis of the Lithuanian experience driven by Pascal and discuss the main ideas about teaching…

Šusteková, Daniela; Kontrová, Lýdia; Biba, Vladislav – European Journal of Contemporary Education, 2020
The level of students coming to the University of Žilina is very different. There are significant differences in the level of knowledge from secondary schools, in the way of study, in the approach to the responsibilities and, last but not least, in the pursuit of new knowledge. Many students have difficulties integrating fully into the study…

Mwambe, Othmar Othmar; Tan, Phan Xuan; Kamioka, Eiji – Education Sciences, 2020
Adaptive Educational Hypermedia Systems (AEHS) play a crucial role in supporting adaptive learning and immensely outperform learner-control based systems. AEHS' page indexing and hyperspace rely mostly on navigation supports which provide the learners with a user-friendly interactive learning environment. Such AEHS features provide the systems…

Piedade, João; Dorotea, Nuno; Pedro, Ana; Matos, João Filipe – Education Sciences, 2020
This study aims to analyze how pre-service informatics teachers design learning scenarios with robotics to teach programming fundamentals and to promote computational thinking skills. A descriptive and exploratory case study design was implemented with 26 pre-service informatics teachers. Data were collected from the participants using qualitative…

Zsakó, László; Horváth, Gyozo – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2017
Informatics education has been in a cul-de-sac for several years (not only in Hungary), being less and less able to meet the needs of the industry and higher education. In addition, the latest PISA survey shows that--to put it a little strongly--the majority of the x-, y- and z generations are digital illiterates. The aim of this paper to examine…
