Book Description
The Computer Studies book two, its highly illustrated course book covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of the syllabus. It includes self-test questions and tasks to reinforce learning. It offers clear learning objectives, chapter summaries and examination. The book includes both the print version and eBook version.Computer Studies books is a three-book series (1-3) developed to build on the knowledge students already acquired from book one through to book 3. The three books are written following International Educational Research and Development (IER&D) and took is background from British standard Curriculum for the year three elementary School Education Programme. The language of the textbook is contemporary, paying attention to new trends in computer studies, programming, computer application and the use and development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The objective is to stimulate further interest in computer studies and computer related studies and career towards higher levels, thus addressing the challenges of the digital divide.The contents are treated in themes and chapters. Each chapter is broken down into units, which have been carefully sequenced and arranged to aid easy comprehension. The addition of activities and questions at the end of each chapter would help teachers easily evaluate students' performance to realize the objectives of each chapter.

Book Description
Computer studies book 3 is a continuation and development series from book 2. This book begins with the meaning, quality, and origin of computers studies in both traditional and contemporary concepts. Realizing that practicing computer requires some specific materials and tools, the author provides suggested compilation of such items with some improvised types, care, and usage. It is important to the users of this book would discover the appropriate blend in the teaching and demonstration of computers in a traditional and contemporary method.These days good and research textbooks are scarce especially those that are relevant to computer studies at the basic level education, this book will serve as being very timely, particularly to the target users I recommend it to all basic and elementary schools.

Teaching Computing Unplugged in Primary Schools
Author: Helen Caldwell
Publisher: Learning Matters
ISBN: 1473988225
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Teaching primary computing without computers? The Computing curriculum is a challenge for primary school teachers. The realities of primary school resources mean limited access to computer hardware. But computing is about more than computers. Important aspects of the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science can be taught without any hardware. Children can learn to analyse problems and computational terms and apply computational thinking to solve problems without turning on a computer. This book shows you how you can teach computing through ‘unplugged’ activities. It provides lesson examples and everyday activities to help teachers and pupils explore computing concepts in a concrete way, accelerating their understanding and grasp of key ideas such as abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation. The unplugged approach is physical and collaborative, using kinaesthetic learning to help make computing concepts more meaningful and memorable. This book will help you to elevate your teaching, and your children′s learning of computing beyond the available hardware. It focuses on the building blocks of understanding required for computation thinking.

Computational Thinking Education in K-12
Author: Siu-Cheung Kong
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262543478
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
A guide to computational thinking education, with a focus on artificial intelligence literacy and the integration of computing and physical objects. Computing has become an essential part of today’s primary and secondary school curricula. In recent years, K–12 computer education has shifted from computer science itself to the broader perspective of computational thinking (CT), which is less about technology than a way of thinking and solving problems—“a fundamental skill for everyone, not just computer scientists,” in the words of Jeanette Wing, author of a foundational article on CT. This volume introduces a variety of approaches to CT in K–12 education, offering a wide range of international perspectives that focus on artificial intelligence (AI) literacy and the integration of computing and physical objects. The book first offers an overview of CT and its importance in K–12 education, covering such topics as the rationale for teaching CT; programming as a general problem-solving skill; and the “phenomenon-based learning” approach. It then addresses the educational implications of the explosion in AI research, discussing, among other things, the importance of teaching children to be conscientious designers and consumers of AI. Finally, the book examines the increasing influence of physical devices in CT education, considering the learning opportunities offered by robotics. Contributors Harold Abelson, Cynthia Breazeal, Karen Brennan, Michael E. Caspersen, Christian Dindler, Daniella DiPaola, Nardie Fanchamps, Christina Gardner-McCune, Mark Guzdial, Kai Hakkarainen, Fredrik Heintz, Paul Hennissen, H.

Teaching Computational Thinking and Coding in Primary Schools
Author: David Morris
Publisher: Learning Matters
ISBN: 1526414694
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
This is a guide to the teaching of computing and coding in primary schools, and an exploration of how children develop their computational thinking. It covers all areas of the National Curriculum for primary computing and offers insight into effective teaching. The text considers three strands of computer science, digital literacy and information technology. The teaching of coding is especially challenging for primary teachers, so it highlights learning on this, giving practical examples of how this can be taught. For all areas of the computing curriculum the text also provides guidance on planning age-appropriate activities with step-by-step guides and details of educationally appropriate software and hardware. This book helps you to connect what you need to teach with how it can be taught, and opens up opportunities in the new curriculum for creative and imaginative teaching. It also includes the full National Curriculum Programme of Study for Computing, key stages 1 and 2 as a useful reference for trainee teachers.
