Spielerische Elemente haben allerdings nicht nur positive motivationale Effekte: Sie k{\"o}nnen sich beispielsweise negativ auf die intrinsische Motivation auswirken, und auch nicht jeder Lernende spielt gerne. Um negativen Einfl{\"u}ssen von Gamification entgegenzuwirken, wurde ein Toolkit f{\"u}r adaptierbare Lernumgebungen entwickelt. Damit erzeugte Lernumgebungen erlauben es Studierenden, den Grad der Gamification selbst zu bestimmen, indem Spielelemente an- und abgeschaltet werden. Im Rahmen einer Anf{\"a}ngerprogrammiervorlesung wurden Lernspielaufgaben aus den existierenden, optionalen interaktiven eTests entwickelt und Studierenden als zus{\"a}tzliche Lerngelegenheit angeboten. Eine erste explorative Studie best{\"a}tigt die Vermutung, dass die Akzeptanz des adaptierbaren Lernspiels sehr hoch ist, es aber dennoch Studierende gibt, welche die Lernumgebung ohne Spielelemente durcharbeiten. Somit bietet adaptierbare Gamification verschiedenen Studierenden die M{\"o}glichkeit, sich zus{\"a}tzliche motivationale Anreize durch Zuschalten von Spielelementen zu verschaffen, ohne dabei zum Spielen „gen{\"o}tigt" zu werden.}, language = {de} } @article{RoderusWienkop2015, author = {Roderus, Simon and Wienkop, Uwe}, title = {Verbesserung der Bestehensquoten durch ein Peer Assessment-Pflichtpraktikum}, series = {HDI 2014 : Gestalten von {\"U}berg{\"a}ngen}, volume = {2015}, journal = {HDI 2014 : Gestalten von {\"U}berg{\"a}ngen}, number = {9}, editor = {Schwill, Andreas and Schubert, Sigrid}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-80260}, pages = {45 -- 60}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Peer Assessment ist eine Methode, bei der die Teilnehmer eine gestellte Aufgabe nicht nur bearbeiten und einreichen, sondern - in einer zweiten Phase - diese auch gegenseitig {\"u}berpr{\"u}fen, kommentieren und bewerten.

The following keynote addresses important issues of shaping a CSE competence model especially in the area of informatics system comprehension and object-oriented modelling. Objectives and research methodology of the project MoKoM (Modelling and Measurement of Competences in CSE) are explained. Firstly, the CSE competence model was derived based on theoretical concepts and then secondly the model was empirically examined and refined using expert interviews. Furthermore, the paper depicts the development and examination of a competence measurement instrument, which was derived from the competence model. Therefore, the instrument was applied to a large sample of students at the gymnasium's upper class level. Subsequently, efforts to develop a competence level model, based on the retrieved empirical results and on expert ratings are presented. Finally, further demands on research on competence modelling in CSE will be outlined.}, language = {en} } @article{BarnesKennewell2015, author = {Barnes, Jan and Kennewell, Steve}, title = {Teacher Perceptions of Key Competencies in ICT}, series = {KEYCIT 2014 - Key Competencies in Informatics and ICT}, journal = {KEYCIT 2014 - Key Competencies in Informatics and ICT}, number = {7}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1868-0844}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-82604}, pages = {61 -- 75}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Regardless of what is intended by government curriculum specifications and advised by educational experts, the competencies taught and learned in and out of classrooms can vary considerably.

We report case study research which identifies contradictions within the teaching of ICT competencies as an activity system, highlighting issues concerning the object of the curriculum, the roles of the participants and the school cultures. In a particular case, contradictions in the learning objectives between higher order skills and the use of application tools have been resolved by a change in the teacher's perceptions which have not led to changes in other aspects of the activity system. We look forward to further investigation of the effects of these contradictions in other case studies and on forthcoming curriculum change.}, language = {en} } @article{BroekerKastensMagenheim2015, author = {Br{\"o}ker, Kathrin and Kastens, Uwe and Magenheim, Johannes}, title = {Competences of Undergraduate Computer Science Students}, series = {KEYCIT 2014 - Key Competencies in Informatics and ICT}, journal = {KEYCIT 2014 - Key Competencies in Informatics and ICT}, number = {7}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1868-0844}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-82613}, pages = {77 -- 96}, year = {2015}, abstract = {The paper presents two approaches to the development of a Computer Science Competence Model for the needs of curriculum development and evaluation in Higher Education.

Running contests in informatics for school students for many years, we have noticed that the students consider the contest experience very engaging and exciting as well as a learning experience. A contest is an excellent instrument to involve students in problem solving activities. An overview of infrastructure and development of an informatics contest from international level to the national one (the Bebras contest on informatics and computer fluency, originated in Lithuania) is presented. The performance of Bebras contests in 23 countries during the last 10 years showed an unexpected and unusually high acceptance by school students and teachers. Many thousands of students participated and got a valuable input in addition to their regular informatics lectures at school. In the paper, the main attention is paid to the developed tasks and analysis of students' task solving results in Lithuania.}, language = {en} }
