Session Summary

Formative Research and Pedagogical Approaches to Integrate Computational Thinking and Computer Science in a Residency

Wed, April 23, 4:20 to 5:50pm MDT (4:20 to 5:50pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Terrace Level, Bluebird Ballroom Room 2A

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

We build on the strengths of a residency program and present a pedagogical innovation, integrating computational thinking and computer science principles into secondary math and science pedagogy with the potential for critical thinking and restoration. We describe approaches and research tools that capture pedagogy to support pre-service teachers in integrating computational thinking. Instructional artifacts and research tools, such as computational thinking classroom logs and observation tools that support the integration of computational thinking into math and science, can be used for formative learning purposes beyond the scope of the residency itself. The broader use of the described CT research tools for formative assessment and pedagogical artifacts presents opportunities to sustain restorative humane purposes.
