Teaching Computing at Secondary Level - the Turku Vision, Mission and Reality
نویسندگان
چکیده
The principal objective of Finnish high schools is to prepare young students for further studies and life in general, but computing is nevertheless not recognized as an individual subject in the core curriculum of these schools. Due to gaps in tuition, common misunderstandings exist about the true nature of computing, which are especially problematic for secondary school students, who need a realistic view of the field in order to make advised decisions about their future studies. In this paper we present two initiatives taken by universities in Turku, Finland aimed at improving the possibilities for secondary school students to study. Our experience suggests that motivated students can be prepared for professional university training while completing their high school courses.
