Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook was written to enable elementary school educators to conduct formative evaluations of their computer integrated instruction (CII) programs in minimum time. CII is defined as the use of computer software, such as word processing, database, and graphics programs, to help students solve problems or work more productively. The first chapter provides an overview of computer education and program evaluation, and the second covers planning for evaluation. The third chapter explains how to collect the data to describe the existing CII program. Interpreting the data and answering evaluation questions are covered in the fourth chapter. Finally, the presentation of the evaluation report is discussed in chapter 5. Appendices include copies of questionnaires for seven facets of the integration program, i.e., planning, program description, goals, staff, plans, activity implementation and goal attainment, and strengths and weaknesses. Also appended are a summary of the research procedures and results upon which this handbook is based. The handbook is intended for use by both experienced and inexperienced evaluators to improve an existing CII program and no formal knowledge of program evaluation is required. (DB)

Book excerpt: This study examined the creative uses of computers in elementary schools and their impact on student's confidence and self-esteem, student-student interaction, student-teacher interaction, male and female students, classroom management, the role of the teacher, special education, teacher training, teachers not involved in the study, and curricular areas such as computer literacy, learning Logo as a programming language, problem-solving and problem-creation, mathematics, oral communication, reading and writing, the arts, and values and the individual and society. Findings are based on intensive examinations of real classrooms over a 2-year period. A total of 433 students in 18 classrooms that involved 13 different teachers were studied; of these, 5 teachers and 40 students were involved in the study for 2 years. Classrooms had 1 to 5 computers over the entire school year, or students had access to a computer laboratory. Logo and word processing were studied extensively; the use of a graphics tablet and Musicland were explored for short periods. Findings indicate that the creative use of computers fosters the development of independent and original thinking and that an environment that encourages exploration leads to extensive social interaction among students; in addition, students become more willing to express, refine, or revise their ideas. A significantly greater proportion of students experienced an increase in their confidence and self-esteem if their teacher was able to give them autonomy over their learning. The impact on students' attention span and cognitive development in the special education classes was also significant. Appendices and selected references are provided. (Author/JB)

Book excerpt: The underrepresentation of females in the computer science field has negatively impacted computer science programs in college and in the American work force. A possible cause of this problem is that schools are not giving equal access or providing equitable opportunities for girls to engage and explore computer sciences at a young age. Program efforts to attract students to code at an elementary school age will help to close the gender gaps that exist. The purpose of this program evaluation was to analyze, examine, and measure the interest level and effectiveness of a computer science coding program at an elementary school level before cultural and gender stereotypes play a role in determining student interest. This program evaluation was conducted at a new K-6 elementary school that is in the beginning stages of implementing a computer science coding program within the instructional day. A mixed evaluation method was conducted. Data collected were teacher surveys, student surveys, and one postevaluation teacher focus group. Teacher data were examined to determine if teacher mindset changed and whether or not they implemented professional development strategies learned to eliminate cultural stereotypes. Student data were examined and analyzed to determine if participation in the program had a direct effect on student’s reported career choices and overall interest in computer science. The results of this evaluation prove that this program has provided female students a standing chance in continuing on the computer science pathway to eliminate the gender gap that exists in college and the American workforce.

Download or read book Teaching Computational Thinking and Coding in Primary Schools written by David Morris and published by Learning Matters. This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
