In response to these needs key competencies in understanding, developing and using new digital technologies are being brought into focus in school and university programmes. The IFIP TC3 conference "KEYCIT – Key Competences in Informatics and ICT (KEYCIT 2014)" was held at the University of Potsdam in Germany from July 1st to 4th, 2014 and addressed the combination of key competencies, Informatics and ICT in detail. The conference was organized into strands focusing on secondary education, university education and teacher education (organized by IFIP WGs 3.1 and 3.3) and provided a forum to present and to discuss research, case studies, positions, and national perspectives in this field.

Man möchte, unabhängig vom Fortbewegungsmittel, schnell und sicher von zu Hause zum Hörsaal oder Seminargebäude. Eine umfassende Navigationshilfe, die alle Transportmodi verbindet, wird dafür verlangt. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit besteht darin, ein Konzept für einen multimodalen Routenplaner zu entwickeln, der es Studenten und Gästen der Universität Potsdam ermöglicht, sich zwischen den dezentral gelegenen Campusstandorten zu bewegen – egal ob mit Bus und Bahn, dem Auto, Fahrrad oder zu Fuß. Die Implementierung erfolgt ausschließlich auf Grundlage freier Daten und freier, quelloffener Software (FOSS), die für diesen Zweck aufbereitet werden. Ergebnis ist eine webbasierte Applikation, die über eine Entwicklerschnittstelle (API) in andere Projekte eingebunden werden kann. N2 - For Potsdam University students, navigation through space on a regular basis belongs to everyday life. There is a need for getting from one place to another as fast and as safe as possible, regardless of the means of transportation. A comprehensive navigational aid that connects any mode of transport is required. The aim of this thesis is to develop a concept for a multimodal trip planner, allowing students and guests of the University of Potsdam, to move between the decentralized campus locations – whether by bus and train, car, bike or on foot. The implementation is done solely based on free data and free open source software (FOSS) which are processed for this purpose. The result is a web-based application, integrated with a developer interface (API) to use in other projects.

Im Lehrmodul „Interaktionsdesign“ an der Universität Hamburg werden von Studierenden innerhalb von drei Wochen prototypische Interaktionskonzepte für das Spiel Neverball entworfen und praktisch umgesetzt. Anders als in den meisten Grundlagenkursen zur MCI werden hier nicht Mock-Ups, sondern lauffähige Software entwickelt. Um dies innerhalb der Projektzeit zu ermöglichen, wurde Neverball um eine TCP-basierte Schnittstelle erweitert. So entfällt die aufwändige Einarbeitung in den Quellcode des Spiels und die Studierenden können sich auf ihre Interaktionsprototypen konzentrieren. Wir beschreiben die Erfahrungen aus der mehrmaligen Durchführung des Projektes und erläutern unser Vorgehen bei der Umsetzung. Die Ergebnisse sollen Lehrende im Bereich MCI unterstützen, ähnliche praxisorientierte Übungen mit Ergebnissen „zum Anfassen“ zu gestalten.

This paper describes how 21st century skills, in particular digital literacy, critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration skills, have been conceptualised and embedded in the resources developed for teachers in iTEC, a four-year, European project. The effectiveness of this approach is considered in light of the data collected through the evaluation of the pilots, which considers both the potential benefits of using technology to support the development of 21st century skills, but also the challenges of doing so. Finally, the paper discusses the learning support systems required in order to transform pedagogies and embed 21st century skills. It is argued that support is required in standards and assessment; curriculum and instruction; professional development; and learning environments.

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.

BT - Adaptierbare Gamification in einer Anfänger-Programmiervorlesung JF - HDI 2014 : Gestalten von Übergängen N2 - Durch den Einsatz von Spielen und Spielelementen in Lernkontexten wird versucht, Lernende zur Beschäftigung mit den Lerninhalten zu motivieren. Spielerische Elemente haben allerdings nicht nur positive motivationale Effekte: Sie können sich beispielsweise negativ auf die intrinsische Motivation auswirken, und auch nicht jeder Lernende spielt gerne. Um negativen Einflüssen von Gamification entgegenzuwirken, wurde ein Toolkit für 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 Anfängerprogrammiervorlesung wurden Lernspielaufgaben aus den existierenden, optionalen interaktiven eTests entwickelt und Studierenden als zusätzliche Lerngelegenheit angeboten. Eine erste explorative Studie bestätigt 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 Möglichkeit, sich zusätzliche motivationale Anreize durch Zuschalten von Spielelementen zu verschaffen, ohne dabei zum Spielen „genötigt“ zu werden.

Durch diese Methode wird, auch in sehr großen Veranstaltungen, das Üben mit individuellen Bewertungen und individuellem Feedback möglich. Im Wintersemester 2013/14 wurde dieser Ansatz in der Erstsemesterveranstaltung Programmieren an der Technischen Hochschule Nürnberg mit 340 Studierenden als semesterbegleitendes Online-Pflichtpraktikum erprobt. Bei gleichen Leistungsanforderungen wurde bei Studierenden, die erfolgreich am Praktikum teilnahmen, eine Reduzierung der Durchfallquote um durchschnittlich 60 % und eine Verbesserung der Durchschnittsnote um 0,6 – 0,9 Notenstufen erzielt. Zudem lernten die teilnehmenden Studierenden kontinuierlicher, bereiteten Lerninhalte besser nach und gelangten zu einer überwiegend positiven Einschätzung des Praktikums und der Methode. Im E-Learning System Moodle kann Peer Assessment, mit moderatem Umsetzungs- und Betreuungsaufwand, mit der Workshop-Aktivität realisiert werden. Im Beitrag wird auf die Schlüsselelemente des erfolgreichen Einsatzes von Peer Assessment eingegangen.

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.

In this paper, we discuss in particular how we can investigate the perceptions that individual teachers have of competencies in ICT, and how these and other factors may influence students’ learning. 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.

A normativetheoretical approach is based on the AKT and ACM/IEEE curriculum and will be used within the recommendations of the German Informatics Society (GI) for the design of CS curricula. An empirically oriented approach refines the categories of the first one with regard to specific subject areas by conducting content analysis on CS curricula of important universities from several countries. The refined model will be used for the needs of students’ e-assessment and subsequent affirmative action of the CS departments.

Competitions play an important role for learners as a source of inspiration, innovation, and attraction. 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.

This study aimed to observe how students perceived PLEs, what they believed were the integral components of social presence when using Facebook as part of a PLE, and to describe student’s preferences for types of interactions when using Facebook as part of their PLE. This study used mixed methods to analyze the perceptions of graduate and undergraduate students on the use of social networks, more specifically Facebook as a learning tool. Fifty surveys were returned representing a 65 % response rate. Survey questions included both closed and open-ended questions. 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. What lies at odds with these beliefs is that when asked to identify strategies in Facebook that enabled social presence to occur in academic work, the majority of students identified strategies in five categories that lead to social presence establishment on Facebook during their coursework.

Within the last years, this topic is changing tremendously, as its impact on daily life becomes increasingly visible. Nowadays, everyone not only needs to manage data of various kinds, but also continuously generates large amounts of data. In addition, Big Data and data analysis are intensively discussed in public dialogue because of their influences on society. For the understanding of such discussions and for being able to participate in them, fundamental knowledge on data management is necessary. Especially, being aware of the threats accompanying the ability to analyze large amounts of data in nearly real-time becomes increasingly important. This raises the question, which key competencies are necessary for daily dealings with data and data management. In this paper, we will first point out the importance of data management and of Big Data in daily life. On this basis, we will analyze which are the key competencies everyone needs concerning data management to be able to handle data in a proper way in daily life. Afterwards, we will discuss the impact of these changes in data management on computer science education and in particular database education.

Informatics has contributed to the scientific and technological development of our society in general and to the digital revolution in particular. Computational thinking is the term indicating the key ideas of this discipline that might be included in the key competencies underlying the curriculum of compulsory education. The educational potential of informatics has a history dating back to the sixties. In this article, we briefly revisit this history looking for lessons learned. In particular, we focus on experiences of teaching and learning programming. However, computational thinking is more than coding. It is a way of thinking and practicing interactive dynamic modeling with computers. We advocate that learners can practice computational thinking in playful contexts where they can develop personal projects, for example building videogames and/or robots, share and discuss their construction with others. In our view, this approach allows an integration of computational thinking in the K-12 curriculum across disciplines.

Internal consistency reliabilities for each of the five-item scales have typically ranged from .73 to .88 for preservice or inservice technology-using teachers. Due to changing technologies used in education, researchers sought to renovate partially obsolete items and extend self-efficacy assessment to new areas, such as social media and mobile learning. Analysis of 2014 data gathered on a new, 34 item version of the TPSA indicates that the four established areas of email, World Wide Web (WWW), integrated applications, and teaching with technology continue to form consistent scales with reliabilities ranging from .81 to .93, while the 14 new items gathered to represent emerging technologies and media separate into two scales, each with internal consistency reliabilities greater than .9. The renovated TPSA is deemed to be worthy of continued use in the teaching with technology context.

This was done in the second part of the pilot study whose aim was to provide equity to control group teachers and students by exposing them to the ABRACADABRA treatment after the end of phase 1. This opportunity was used to follow the phase 1 teachers to see how the skills learned were being transformed into results. A standard three-day initial training and planning session on how to use ABRA to teach literacy was held at the beginning of each phase for ABRA teachers (phase 1 experimental and phase 2 delayed ABRA). Teachers were provided with teaching materials including a tentative ABRA curriculum developed to align with the Kenyan English Language requirements for year 1 and 3 students. Results showed that although there was no significant difference between the groups in vocabulary-related subscales which include word reading and meaning as well as sentence comprehension, students in ABRACADABRA classes improved their scores at a significantly higher rate than students in control classes in comprehension related scores. An average student in the ABRACADABRA group improved by 12 and 16 percentile points respectively compared to their counterparts in the control group.

The overall aim of this two-year activity is to investigate the value for professional learning of Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) and Community Online Open Courses (COOCs) in the context of a ‘community of practice’. 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.

Without communication we cannot teach, so teachers should reflect about the language they use in class properly. But the language students and teachers use to communicate about their CS courses is very heterogeneous, inconsistent and deeply influenced by tool names. There is a big lack of research and discussion in CS education regarding the terminology and the role of concepts and tools in our science. We don’t have a consistent set of terminology that we agree on to be helpful for learning our science. This makes it nearly impossible to do research on CS competencies as long as we have not agreed on the names we use to describe these.

Until now, very few countries have been successful in implementing Informatics or Computing at primary and lower secondary level. The spectrum from digital literacy to informatics, particularly as a discipline in its own right, has not really achieved a breakthrough and seems to be underrepresented for these age groups. The goal of this workshop is not only to discuss the anamnesis and diagnosis of this fragmented field, but also to discuss and suggest viable forms of therapy in form of setting educational standards. Making visible good practices in some countries and comparing successful approaches are rewarding tasks for this workshop. Discussing and defining common educational standards on a transcontinental level for the age group of 14 to 15 years old students in a readable, assessable and acceptable form should keep the participants of this workshop active beyond the limited time at the workshop.

BT - Reflexion von Motivation und Zielen für Studienanfänger JF - HDI 2014 : Gestalten von Übergängen N2 - Die Wahl des richtigen Studienfaches und die daran anschließende Studieneingangsphase sind oft entscheidend für den erfolgreichen Verlauf eines Studiums. Eine große Herausforderung besteht dabei darin, bereits in den ersten Wochen des Studiums bestehende Defizite in vermeintlich einfachen Schlüsselkompetenzen zu erkennen und diese so bald wie möglich zu beheben. Eine zweite, nicht minder wichtige Herausforderung ist es, möglichst frühzeitig für jeden einzelnen Studierenden zu erkennen, ob er bzw. sie das individuell richtige Studienfach gewählt hat, das den jeweiligen persönlichen Neigungen, Interessen und Fähigkeiten entspricht und zur Verwirklichung der eigenen Lebensziele beiträgt. Denn nur dann sind Studierende ausreichend stark und dauerhaft intrinsisch motiviert, um ein anspruchsvolles, komplexes Studium erfolgreich durchzuziehen. In diesem Beitrag fokussieren wir eine Maßnahme, die die Studierenden an einen Prozess zur systematischen Reflexion des eigenen Lernprozesses und der eigenen Ziele heranführt und beides in Relation setzt.

Die Studierenden sollen in die Lage versetzt werden, sehr eigenständig die Planung und Gestaltung ihres Studiums in die Hand zu nehmen.
