A sample of 117 children aged 6:6-9:0 years were randomly assigned into three experimental groups of DA conditions: 3D, 2D, and NC, and one control group (C). All groups received the pre- and post-teaching Analogies subtest of the Cognitive Modifiability Battery (CMB-AN). The experimental groups received a teaching phase in conditions similar to the pre-and post-teaching phases. The findings showed that cognitive modifiability, in a 3D IVR, was distinctively higher than in the two other experimental groups (2D computer group and NC group). It was also found that the 3D group showed significantly higher performance in transfer problems than the 2D and NC groups.}, language = {en} } @article{Saito2015, author = {Saito, Toshinori}, title = {The Key Competencies in Informatics and ICT viewed from Nussbaum's Ten Central Capabilities}, 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-opus4-82718}, pages = {253 -- 266}, year = {2015}, abstract = {This article shows a discussion about the key competencies in informatics and ICT viewed from a philosophical foundation presented by Martha Nussbaum, which is known as 'ten central capabilities'.

Findings suggested that even though students rated themselves relatively well in having requisite technology skills, and 94 \% of students used Facebook primarily for social use, they were hesitant to migrate these skills to academic use because of concerns of privacy, believing that other platforms could fulfil the same purpose, and by not seeing the validity to use Facebook in establishing social presence.

Three units in the first pilot covered aspects of using digital technologies to develop creative thinking skills. The findings in this paper relate to the fourth unit about e-mentoring, a skill that was important to delivering the course content in the other three units. Findings about the e-mentoring unit included: the students' request for detailed profiles so that participants can get to know each other; and, the need to reconcile the different interpretations of e-mentoring held by the participants when the course begins. The evaluators concluded that the major issues were that: not all professional learners would self-organise and network; and few would wish to mentor their colleagues voluntarily. Therefore, the e-mentoring issues will need careful consideration in pilots two and three to identify how e-mentoring will be organised.}, language = {en} } @article{PrzybyllaRomeike2015, author = {Przybylla, Mareen and Romeike, Ralf}, title = {Key Competences with Physical Computing}, 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-opus4-82904}, pages = {351 -- 361}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Physical computing covers the design and realization of interactive objects and installations and allows students to develop concrete, tangible products of the real world that arise from the learners' imagination.

Der Bedarf wird u. a. damit begr{\"u}ndet, dass Informatiksysteme zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts allgegenw{\"a}rtig sind (Kapitel 1). F{\"u}r Kompetenzentwicklung mit Informatiksystemen sind diese in ihrer Einheit aus Hardware, Software und Vernetzung anhand ihres nach außen sichtbaren Verhaltens, der inneren Struktur und Implementierungsaspekten zu analysieren. Ausgehend vom Kompetenzbegriff (Kapitel 2) und dem Informatiksystembegriff (Kapitel 3) erfolgt eine Analyse des fachdidaktischen Forschungsstandes zur Kompetenzentwicklung mit Informatiksystemen. Die Ergebnisse lassen sich in die Bereiche (1) Bildungsziele, (2) Unterrichtsinhalte, (3) Lehr-Lernmethodik und (4) Lehr-Lernmedien aufteilen (Kapitel 4). In Kapitel 5 wird die Unterrichtsmodellentwicklung beschrieben. Den Zugang zu Informatiksystemen bildet in der vorliegenden Dissertationsschrift das nach außen sichtbare Verhalten. Es erfolgt eine Fokussierung auf vernetzte fundamentale Ideen der Informatik und Strukturmodelle von Informatiksystemen als Unterrichtsinhalte. Es wird begr{\"u}ndet, dass ausgew{\"a}hlte objektorientierte Entwurfsmuster vernetzte fundamentale Ideen repr{\"a}sentieren. In Abschnitt 5.4 werden dementsprechend Entwurfsmuster als Wissensrepr{\"a}sentation f{\"u}r vernetzte fundamentale Ideen klassifiziert. Das systematische Erkunden des Verhaltens von Informatiksystemen wird im Informatikunterricht bisher kaum thematisiert. Es werden Sch{\"u}lert{\"a}tigkeiten in Anlehnung an Unterrichtsexperimente angegeben, die Sch{\"u}ler unterst{\"u}tzen, Informatiksysteme bewusst und gezielt anzuwenden (Abschnitt 5.5). Bei dieser Lehr-Lernmethodik werden das nach außen sichtbare Verhalten von Informatiksystemen, im Sinne einer Black-Box, und das Wechselspiel von Verhalten und Struktur bei vorliegender Implementierung des Systems als White-Box analysiert. Die Adressierung schrittweise h{\"o}herer kognitiver Niveaustufen wird in die Entwicklung einbezogen. Unterst{\"u}tzend wird f{\"u}r das Unterrichtsmodell lernf{\"o}rderliche Software gestaltet, die vernetzte fundamentale Ideen in Entwurfsmustern und das Experimentieren aufgreift (Abschnitt 5.6). Schwerpunkte bilden im Unterrichtsmodell zwei Arten von lernf{\"o}rderlicher Software: (1) Die Lernsoftware Pattern Park wurde von einer studentischen Projektgruppe entwickelt. In ihr k{\"o}nnen in Entwurfsmustern enthaltene fundamentale Ideen der Informatik {\"u}ber ihren Lebensweltbezug im Szenario eines Freizeitparks analysiert werden. (2) Als weitere Art Lernsoftware werden kleine Programme eingesetzt, deren innere Struktur durch ausgew{\"a}hlte Entwurfsmuster gebildet und deren Verhalten direkt durch die darin enthaltenen fundamentalen Ideen bestimmt wird. Diese Programme k{\"o}nnen durch die Experimente im Unterricht systematisch untersucht werden. Mit dem Ziel, die normative Perspektive um R{\"u}ckkopplung mit der Praxis zu erg{\"a}nzen, werden zwei Erprobungen im Informatikunterricht vorgenommen. Diese liefern Erkenntnisse zur Machbarkeit des Unterrichtsmodells und dessen Akzeptanz durch die Sch{\"u}ler (Kapitel 6 und 8). Exemplarisch umgesetzt werden die Themen Zugriffskontrolle mit dem Proxymuster, Iteration mit dem Iteratormuster und Systemzust{\"a}nde mit dem Zustandsmuster. Der intensive Austausch mit Informatiklehrpersonen in der Kooperationsschule {\"u}ber Informatiksysteme und Kompetenzentwicklung sowie die Durchf{\"u}hrung von zwei Lehrerfortbildungen erg{\"a}nzen die Beobachtungen im unterrichtlichen Geschehen. Die erste Unterrichtserprobung resultiert in einer Weiterentwicklung des Unterrichtsmodells zu Informatiksystemen und Kompetenzentwicklung (Kapitel 7). Darin erfolgt eine Fokussierung auf das nach außen sichtbare Verhalten von Informatiksystemen und eine Verfeinerung der Perspektiven auf innere Struktur und ausgew{\"a}hlte Implementierungsaspekte.

Information systems, replacing interaction previously carried out by humans via phone, faxes and emails, require a precise specification for handling all possible situations. Such interaction behavior is described in process choreographies. Choreographies enumerate the roles involved, the allowed interactions, the message contents and the behavioral dependencies between interactions. Choreographies serve as interaction contract and are the starting point for adapting existing business processes and systems or for implementing new software components. As a thorough analysis and comparison of choreography modeling languages is missing in the literature, this thesis introduces a requirements framework for choreography languages and uses it for comparing current choreography languages. Language proposals for overcoming the limitations are given for choreography modeling on the conceptual and on the technical level. Using an interconnection modeling style, behavioral dependencies are defined on a per-role basis and different roles are interconnected using message flow. This thesis reveals a number of modeling "anti-patterns" for interconnection modeling, motivating further investigations on choreography languages following the interaction modeling style. Here, interactions are seen as atomic building blocks and the behavioral dependencies between them are defined globally. Two novel language proposals are put forward for this modeling style which have already influenced industrial standardization initiatives. While avoiding many of the pitfalls of interconnection modeling, new anomalies can arise in interaction models. A choreography might not be realizable, i.e. there does not exist a set of interacting roles that collectively realize the specified behavior. This thesis investigates different dimensions of realizability.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Boehne2019, author = {B{\"o}hne, Sebastian}, title = {Different degrees of formality}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-42379}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-423795}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {VI, 167}, year = {2019}, abstract = {In this thesis we introduce the concept of the degree of formality. It is directed against a dualistic point of view, which only distinguishes between formal and informal proofs. This dualistic attitude does not respect the differences between the argumentations classified as informal and it is unproductive because the individual potential of the respective argumentation styles cannot be appreciated and remains untapped. This thesis has two parts. In the first of them we analyse the concept of the degree of formality (including a discussion about the respective benefits for each degree) while in the second we demonstrate its usefulness in three case studies. In the first case study we will repair Haskell B. Curry's view of mathematics, which incidentally is of great importance in the first part of this thesis, in light of the different degrees of formality. In the second case study we delineate how awareness of the different degrees of formality can be used to help students to learn how to prove. Third, we will show how the advantages of proofs of different degrees of formality can be combined by the development of so called tactics having a medium degree of formality. Together the three case studies show that the degrees of formality provide a convincing solution to the problem of untapped potential.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Przybylla2018, author = {Przybylla, Mareen}, title = {From Embedded Systems to Physical Computing: Challenges of the "Digital World" in Secondary Computer Science Education}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-418339}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {xvii, 277}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Physical computing covers the design and realization of interactive objects and installations and allows learners to develop concrete, tangible products of the real world, which arise from their imagination. This can be used in computer science education to provide learners with interesting and motivating access to the different topic areas of the subject in constructionist and creative learning environments. However, if at all, physical computing has so far mostly been taught in afternoon clubs or other extracurricular settings. Thus, for the majority of students so far there are no opportunities to design and create their own interactive objects in regular school lessons. Despite its increasing popularity also for schools, the topic has not yet been clearly and sufficiently characterized in the context of computer science education. The aim of this doctoral thesis therefore is to clarify physical computing from the perspective of computer science education and to adequately prepare the topic both content-wise and methodologically for secondary school teaching. For this purpose, teaching examples, activities, materials and guidelines for classroom use are developed, implemented and evaluated in schools. In the theoretical part of the thesis, first the topic is examined from a technical point of view. A structured literature analysis shows that basic concepts used in physical computing can be derived from embedded systems, which are the core of a large field of different application areas and disciplines. Typical methods of physical computing in professional settings are analyzed and, from an educational perspective, elements suitable for computer science teaching in secondary schools are extracted, e. g. tinkering and prototyping. The investigation and classification of suitable tools for school teaching show that microcontrollers and mini computers, often with extensions that greatly facilitate the handling of additional components, are particularly attractive tools for secondary education. Considering the perspectives of science, teachers, students and society, in addition to general design principles, exemplary teaching approaches for school education and suitable learning materials are developed and the design, production and evaluation of a physical computing construction kit suitable for teaching is described. In the practical part of this thesis, with "My Interactive Garden", an exemplary approach to integrate physical computing in computer science teaching is tested and evaluated in different courses and refined based on the findings in a design-based research approach. In a series of workshops on physical computing, which is based on a concept for constructionist professional development that is developed specifically for this purpose, teachers are empowered and encouraged to develop and conduct physical computing lessons suitable for their particular classroom settings. Based on their in-class experiences, a process model of physical computing teaching is derived. Interviews with those teachers illustrate that benefits of physical computing, including the tangibility of crafted objects and creativity in the classroom, outweigh possible drawbacks like longer preparation times, technical difficulties or difficult assessment. Hurdles in the classroom are identified and possible solutions discussed. Empirical investigations in the different settings reveal that "My Interactive Garden" and physical computing in general have a positive impact, among others, on learner motivation, fun and interest in class and perceived competencies. Finally, the results from all evaluations are combined to evaluate the design principles for physical computing teaching and to provide a perspective on the development of decision-making aids for physical computing activities in school education.}, language = {en} }
