Cultivating students’ computational thinking through student–robot interactions in robotics education

Cultivating Responses from Students through Literature Circle

The English literature component has been around in the Malaysian Education system since 2000. However, literature as a subject has always been learned more for transactional purposes rather than for its aesthetic value. Basically, a regurgitation of knowledge from years of learning, poured out in one major examination. In this research, the researcher applies a teaching method, called the lite...

Computational Thinking in Life Science Education

We join the increasing call to take computational education of life science students a step further, beyond teaching mere programming and employing existing software tools. We describe a new course, focusing on enriching the curriculum of life science students with abstract, algorithmic, and logical thinking, and exposing them to the computational "culture." The design, structure, and content o...

Cultivating Creativity In Education Interactions Between Teaching And Learning

Cultivating Entrepreneurial Thinking through IEEE-CS Student Chapters

Published by the IEEE Computer Society 0018-9162/11/$26.00 © 2011 IEEE preparation is not typically part of most undergraduate programs, especially at engineering institutions. Cultivating entrepreneurial thinking requires going beyond teaching business fundamentals and reviewing case studies; it requires learning through practice.2 To support active student engagement in entrepreneurial activi...

Introducing Computational Thinking to Young Learners: Practicing Computational Perspectives Through Embodiment in Mathematics Education

A science, technology, engineering, and mathematics-influenced classroom requires learning activities that provide hands-on experiences with technological tools to encourage problem-solving skills (Brophy et al. in J Eng Educ 97(3):369–387, 2008; Matarić et al. in AAAI spring symposium on robots and robot venues: resources for AI education, pp 99–102, 2007). The study aimed to bring computation...
