  abstract  = {The correction of software failures tends to be very cost-intensive because their debugging is an often time-consuming development activity. During this activity, developers largely attempt to understand what causes failures: Starting with a test case that reproduces the observable failure they have to follow failure causes on the infection chain back to the root cause (defect). This idealized procedure requires deep knowledge of the system and its behavior because failures and defects can be far apart from each other. Unfortunately, common debugging tools are inadequate for systematically investigating such infection chains in detail. Thus, developers have to rely primarily on their intuition and the localization of failure causes is not time-efficient. To prevent debugging by disorganized trial and error, experienced developers apply the scientific method and its systematic hypothesis-testing. However, even when using the scientific method, the search for failure causes can still be a laborious task. First, lacking expertise about the system makes it hard to understand incorrect behavior and to create reasonable hypotheses. Second, contemporary debugging approaches provide no or only partial support for the scientific method. In this dissertation, we present test-driven fault navigation as a debugging guide for localizing reproducible failures with the scientific method. Based on the analysis of passing and failing test cases, we reveal anomalies and integrate them into a breadth-first search that leads developers to defects. This systematic search consists of four specific navigation techniques that together support the creation, evaluation, and refinement of failure cause hypotheses for the scientific method. First, structure navigation localizes suspicious system parts and restricts the initial search space. Second, team navigation recommends experienced developers for helping with failures. Third, behavior navigation allows developers to follow emphasized infection chains back to root causes. Fourth, state navigation identifies corrupted state and reveals parts of the infection chain automatically. We implement test-driven fault navigation in our Path Tools framework for the Squeak/Smalltalk development environment and limit its computation cost with the help of our incremental dynamic analysis. This lightweight dynamic analysis ensures an immediate debugging experience with our tools by splitting the run-time overhead over multiple test runs depending on developers' needs. Hence, our test-driven fault navigation in combination with our incremental dynamic analysis answers important questions in a short time: where to start debugging, who understands failure causes best, what happened before failures, and which state properties are infected.},

  abstract  = {Problem solving is one of the central activities performed by computer scientists as well as by computer science learners. Whereas the teaching of algorithms and programming languages is usually well structured within a curriculum, the development of learners' problem-solving skills is largely implicit and less structured. Students at all levels often face difficulties in problem analysis and solution construction. The basic assumption of the workshop is that without some formal instruction on effective strategies, even the most inventive learner may resort to unproductive trial-and-error problemsolving processes. Hence, it is important to teach problem-solving strategies and to guide teachers on how to teach their pupils this cognitive tool. Computer science educators should be aware of the difficulties and acquire appropriate pedagogical tools to help their learners gain and experience problem-solving skills.},

  abstract  = {Der traditionelle Weg in der Informatik besteht darin, Kompetenzen entweder normativ durch eine Expertengruppe festzulegen oder als Ableitungsergebnis eines Bildungsstandards aus einem externen Feld. Dieser Artikel stellt einen neuartigen und alternativen Ansatz vor, der sich der Methodik der Qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse (QI) bedient. Das Ziel war die Ableitung von informatischen Schl{\"u}sselkompetenzen anhand bereits etablierter und erprobter didaktischer Ans{\"a}tze der Informatikdidaktik. Dazu wurde zun{\"a}chst aus einer Reihe von Informatikdidaktikb{\"u}chern eine Liste mit m{\"o}glichen Kandidaten f{\"u}r Kompetenzen generiert. Diese Liste wurde als QI-Kategoriensystem verwendet, mit der sechs verschiedene didaktische Ans{\"a}tze analysiert wurden. Ein abschließender Verfeinerungsschritt erfolgte durch die {\"U}berpr{\"u}fung, welche der gefundenen Kompetenzen in allen vier Kernbereichen der Informatik (theoretische, technische, praktische und angewandte Informatik) Anwendung finden. Diese Methode wurde f{\"u}r die informatische Schulausbildung exemplarisch entwickelt und umgesetzt, ist aber ebenfalls ein geeignetes Vorgehen f{\"u}r die Identifizierung von Schl{\"u}sselkompetenzen in anderen Gebieten, wie z. B. in der informatischen Hochschulausbildung, und soll deshalb hier kurz vorgestellt werden.},

We present not only a short description of each considered environment and the taxonomy in the form of a table, but also our understanding and opinions on how and why the environments implement the same concepts and ideas in different ways and which concepts and ideas seem to be important to the creators of such environments.},

This paper reports on a study comparing current trends in CS at school, with a major focus on two countries, Germany and UK. A survey was carried out of a number of teaching professionals and experts from the UK and Germany with regard to the content and delivery of CS in school. An analysis of the quantitative data reveals a difference in foci in the two countries; putting this into the context of curricular developments we are able to offer interpretations of these trends and suggest ways in which curricula in CS at school should be moving forward.},
