Sustainability Competence in Computer Science Education

Computer Science in Education

Computer science or computing science (sometimes abbreviated CS) is the learning of the theoretical foundations of information and computation, and of practical techniques for their execution and application in computer systems. It is often described as the efficient study of algorithmic processes that produce, explain, and transform information. In this work, I use Data Mining algorithms from ...

Serious computer games in computer science education

The role and importance of serious computer games in contemporary educational practice is presented in this paper as well as the theoretical fundamentals that justify their use in different forms of education. We present a project for designing and developing serious games that take place within the curriculum for computer science teachers’ education as an independent project work in teams. In ...

From exercise characteristics to competence dimen- sions – exemplified by theoretical computer science in secondary education

Competence models as point of origin for educational standards are the foundation of assessment and evaluation in view of educational goals and thereby provide major information for revision and improvement of instruction. Computer science education is a young discipline, compared to, e. g., the core subjects analyzed in the PISA studies (OECD, 2006), mathematics, reading and science. The appro...
