The purpose of this case study was to gain a better understanding of the difficulties that computer science teachers face, focusing on resources allocation and other stakeholders' involvement in their activities. Thirty-two persons participated in this preliminary study. A questionnaire was disseminated to them which was inspired by the work of Bandura on teachers' self-efficacy. The modified version involved a 2x2 patern: two main factors (influence school resources and enlist community involvement) measured across two aspects (self-efficacy and perceived importance). The results indicate high levels of self-efficacy and perceived importance for both aspects: school resources and community involvement. Furthermore, in some cases, the results indicate moderate to high associations. Also, the findings indicate same levels of self-efficacy on both genders and across different prior experience groups. The results can be interpreted through the prism of the Norwegian computing education context, but also in comparison with the literature and have the potential to inform educational policy and research on the topic at stake.","PeriodicalId":329720,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 6th Computer Science Education Research Conference","volume":"177 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124370775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most textbooks on Java programming only treat concurrency in terms of syntax and examples. They pay little attention to systematically designing concurrent programs. As a result, design experience is to be acquired in a master-apprentice setup of supervised lab classes with immediate, personal feedback. In this paper, we describe a systematic design method in which the development of a concurrent program is divided into a sequence of explicit, manageable steps which scaffolds students' learning of concurrency concepts and their application. This methodology is intended to improve the procedural development skills of students, providing them with the necessary knowledge and self-efficacy to tackle the problem at hand. Furthermore, current education moves towards more independent learning. In distance education, for example, immediate feedback on how to proceed in case of problems is often absent. Additionally, enrollment in university courses increased steadily over the last decade which forces educators to spend less time on individual support: students often have to solve problems on their own. To make such independent learning feasible, also as regards providing feedback, a systematic approach is indispensable.","PeriodicalId":329720,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 6th Computer Science Education Research Conference","volume":"271 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116935505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the advent of new technologies and approaches for teaching programming at all ages, many countries including Turkey have revised their computer science curriculum. These revisions have resulted in serious training needs being highlighted for teachers with inadequate competencies to meet the expected learning outcomes. Hence, the purpose of this study was to explore; (a) the self-perceived competencies of teachers about the topics in the curriculum, (b) perceptions about programming, programming tools and approaches, and (c) contribution of university education to their teaching profession. The findings revealed that most teachers believe they are not sufficiently competent to be an effective computer science teacher. Related to this finding, most of them especially mentioned their training needs for programming, emerging tools and technologies. Plus more than half of the participants think that the higher education curriculum is inadequate to meet teacher expectations and to create competent teachers.","PeriodicalId":329720,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 6th Computer Science Education Research Conference","volume":"392 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122990694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article we take a look at task group which connects computer science concepts with computational thinking - graph tasks (for example trees, graphs, square grids, graph algorithms...). We focused on the three lowest categories of the Slovak contest, which include pupils of the whole primary school (aged 8 to 15) and analysed the tasks of the last four years. We used both qualitative and quantitative data analysis research methods. Task were divided into subcategories which were further analysed, focusing on identification of the specifics of the tasks in which there were significant differences between boys and girls. Using comparative analysis, it was found that boys are better in tasks with simple (relatively abstract) representation of the structure which is described by a larger amount of text, but the main point of the task is to identify the problem and create or uncover a strategy for finding a solution. Girls' performance is better in tasks that have less text, relatively more complicated representation of the structure and are focused on simple operations at graphs or reading them.","PeriodicalId":329720,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 6th Computer Science Education Research Conference","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126974306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introduced in Italian secondary schools in 2010 by the Ministry for Education, it has hardly had a real adoption. The paper illustrates the first part of a study which investigates how education in Italian secondary schools could be made more competence-based. The goal is to find effective ways to support the adoption of the competence-based approach in the Italian secondary schools. The study focuses on the computer science teachers, who often use the student projects. The paper describes the portion of the study which investigates if the project-based learning method helps to inductively embrace the competence-based approach. We interviewed a sample of computer science teachers, in order to understand how well they know the competence-based approach. Then we designed and realized an action-research course for teachers, in order to observe them implementing the project-based learning method. The preliminary results confirm a weak commitment of the teachers to the competence-based approach and suggest that the project-based learning method can drive towards the competence-based approach, provided the projects are carefully designed and subsequently managed.","PeriodicalId":329720,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 6th Computer Science Education Research Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125309806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
