Description

This course aims to equip participants to teach computational thinking, with an emphasis on programming. The Technological area of Computational Thinking for Digital Technologies (CTDT) was introduced into the New Zealand Curriculum and Te Marautanga o Aotearoa for primary and secondary schools and kura in 2018. Students will explore computer programming and various approaches to teaching it, including connecting it with key related areas of computational thinking. They will develop research skills and investigate theories and practices in CTDT. A key component is an individual research project to develop, implement and critically evaluate their teaching of programming and integration of computational thinking across the curriculum. Although this course does not teach students to program, it can extend students’ programming skills.
