Computer Science Unplugged

New Methodology of Information Education with "Computer Science Unplugged"

We introduced “Computer Science Unplugged” to our classes in junior and senior high schools. “Unplugged” is an education method of computer science without students using a computer at all. For our classes, we developed original teaching materials and methods for Unplugged. As a result, the students could learn the topics of computer science with interest by using Unplugged. They enjoyed the ga...

Learning Based On Computer Science Unplugged in Computer Science Education: Design, Development, and Assessment

Although, all high school students in Japan are required to learn informatics, many of them do not learn this topic sufficiently. In response to this situation, we propose a support package for high school informatics classes. To examine what students learned and if they sufficiently understood the context of the lessons, a questionnaire survey was distributed to 186 students. We analyzed the r...

Computer Science Meets Medical Science

In the past 20–30 years at least two technical advances have made quantification in pathology at a large scale possible. At the time the computing power of affordable computers increased, interest to deploy tasks emerged that were previously very laborious to perform. Combined with digital camera systems, many new possibilities became available. Examples of such measurements that were previousl...
