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 ...

Teaching approaches to Computer Assisted Language Learning

Computers have been used for language teaching ever since the 1960's.Learning a second language is a challenging endeavor, and, for decades now, proponents of computer assisted language learning (CALL) have declared that help is on the horison. We investigate the suitability of deploying speech technology in computer based systems that can be used to teach foreign language skills. In this case,...

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 ...
