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.

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.

We demonstrate also how to introduce logarithm independently of mathematical formalism using a conceptual model for reducing a problem size by at least half. It is quite surprising that the idea, which leads to logarithm, is present in Euclid's algorithm described almost 2000 years before John Napier invented logarithm.}, language = {en} } @article{ZierisGerstbergerMueller2015, author = {Zieris, Holger and Gerstberger, Herbert and M{\"u}ller, Wolfgang}, title = {Using Arduino-Based Experiments to Integrate Computer Science Education and Natural Science}, 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-opus4-82938}, pages = {381 -- 389}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Current curricular trends require teachers in Baden- Wuerttemberg (Germany) to integrate Computer Science (CS) into traditional subjects, such as Physical Science. However, concrete guidelines are missing. To fill this gap, we outline an approach where a microcontroller is used to perform and evaluate measurements in the Physical Science classroom. Using the open-source Arduino platform, we expect students to acquire and develop both CS and Physical Science competencies by using a self-programmed microcontroller. In addition to this combined development of competencies in Physical Science and CS, the subject matter will be embedded in suitable contexts and learning environments, such as weather and climate.}, language = {en} } @article{Buechner2015, author = {B{\"u}chner, Steffen}, title = {Empirical and Normative Research on Fundamental Ideas of Embedded System Development}, 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-opus4-82949}, pages = {393 -- 396}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{Opel2015, author = {Opel, Simone}, title = {On the Way to a "General Model of Contextualised Computer Science Education"}, 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-opus4-82953}, pages = {397 -- 400}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{Schiller2015, author = {Schiller, Thomas}, title = {Teaching Information Security (as Part of Key Competencies)}, 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-opus4-82960}, pages = {401 -- 404}, year = {2015}, abstract = {The poster and abstract describe the importance of teaching information security in school.
