Erasmus Projesi, 2019 - 2022
The project develops innovative educational approaches to practical STEAM education that are based on Computational Thinking (CT) as related to trans-disciplinary and holistic STEAM perspectives. We develop a pragmatic approach to CT as to a set of tools, techniques and approaches which enable a seamless transition from the young child’s unplugged type of activities to the comprehensive modelling and computer simulation activities of K-12 and early university students. Our research and implementation emphasises educational programs and curriculum enhancement for education of prospective teachers focusing on CT and STEAM content. The main aspects of our approach are: (1) CT is considered in conjunction with STE(A)M. STEAM isunderstood as a “developed” discipline encapsulating STEM and an holistic view of school (and preschool) subjects as providing knowledge and skills for context-specific project and problem-based education (2) Curriculum provides a systematic and holistic view of CT and STEAM (3) We develop a multidimensional model for curriculum evolution: the longitudinal dimension (personal childdevelopment), the skills dimension (scientific thinking skills, CT skills, and contextual thinking skills), the contextual dimension (community, society, communication, management, entrepreneurship,culture, diversity, ethics) (4) CT is positioned as an integrative skill set that links scientific and content-specific knowledge with contextual thinking skills, adding context-specific modelling skills(developing of models and simulations, including modelling of cyber-social systems) (5) Thephilosophy is based on (A) a post-scientific tendency to merge scientific and technical knowledge with social and humanitarian knowledge with contextual knowledge as the most valued (B)Pragmatist approach to education in terms of sharing community values and solving actual present day problems (6) The adapted TPACK framework for CT and STEAM is promoted to develop specific curriculum modules by project partners.
