Teacher Pioneers in the Introduction of Computing Technology in the Swedish Upper Secondary School
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper elaborates on programming and computing 1970 to 1983 in the Swedish upper secondary school. Articles from contemporary journals and firsthand text sources are used. During that period, programming never qualified as a separate subject; it was a tool for problem solving in engineering, economics, and mathematics, and did become a literacy subject in its own right. Early adopters of computers in education became important pioneers in the production of discourses about “how-to” and “what-to” teach. The diffusion of computer technology was substantiated in a curriculum for computing in natural sciences, which embraced programming.

متن کاملNew Algorithm For Computing Secondary Invariants of Invariant Rings of Monomial Groups
In this paper, a new algorithm for computing secondary invariants of invariant rings of monomial groups is presented. The main idea is to compute simultaneously a truncated SAGBI-G basis and the standard invariants of the ideal generated by the set of primary invariants. The advantage of the presented algorithm lies in the fact that it is well-suited to complexity analysis and very easy to i...

This chapter is a reflection on the use of computers in the author’s time as a secondary school student, and then subsequently five years later as a qualified teacher of Information Technology. Despite the uneven teaching of computing in the 1980s low student enrolments, and the marginalization of the subject, computing flourished in the 1990s. With ever increasing enrolments for computing subj...
