Assessment of Computational Thinking – A Croatian Evidence-Centered Design model

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Design Thinking = Human-Centered Design?

Model of Learning Computational Thinking

There is a high demand for qualified information and communication technology (ICT) practitioners in the European labour market, but the problem at many universities is a high dropout rate among ICT students, especially during the first study year. The solution might be to focus more on improving students’ computational thinking (CT) before starting university studies. Therefore, research is ne...

Im Team stark: Design Thinking und User-Centered Design

Das DT kommt der Mensch-Computer-Interaktion (MCI) in der Ausbildung zugute, weil die im DT verwendeten Arbeitsweisen für gute Interaktionsdesigner grundlegend sind, meist aber nur an Design Fachbereichen gelehrt werden. Dabei wird insbesondere von dem selbst erarbeiteten praktischen Verständnis von Kontext, Benutzer und Problemstellung profitiert und der daraus resultierenden konsequenten Nutz...

A Framework and an Instructional Design Model for the Development of Students' Computational and Algorithmic Thinking

The authors herein, describe their efforts towards designing technology-enhanced instruction for teaching Computational and Algorithmic Thinking. This study examined students’ development of Computational and Algorithmic Thinking, by utilizing the framework of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge and the instructional design model of Technology Mapping. Different technological tools were...
