In this paper, we show how the theory of NP completeness can be introduced to students in secondary schools. The motivation of this research is that although there are difficult issues that require technical backgrounds, students are already familiar with demanding computational problems through games such as Sudoku or Tetris. Our intention is to bring together important concepts in the theory of NP completeness in such a way that students in secondary schools can easily understand them. This is part of our ongoing research about how to teach fundamental issues in Computer Science in secondary schools. We discuss what needs to be taught in which sequence in order to introduce ideas behind NP completeness to students without technical backgrounds.
Der Artikel über das Projekt eTeam der Stabsstelle eLearning stellt einen reinen Praxisbericht dar und befasst sich zunächst mit der Idee, die zur Entwicklung des Vorhabens führte, in dem studentische eLearning-Expertinnen und -Experten Lehrende bei der Umsetzung von Online-Elementen in Lehrveranstaltungen unterstützen. Mit drei Teams in verschiedenen Fakultäten, jeweils bestehend aus zwei studentischen Mitarbeitenden, machte sich das Projekt im Sommersemester (SoSe) 2010 auf den Weg, praktisch an der Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) ausgeführt zu werden. Die Projektvorbereitungen, Erfahrungen aus dem Pilotdurchgang sowie die Sicht der Fakultäten auf das Konzept und den aktuellen Projektstand werden in diesem Artikel beleuchtet und thematisiert.
Der Täter hinter dem Täter

The traditional purpose of algorithm in education is to prepare students for programming. In our effort to introduce the practically missing computing science into Czech general secondary education, we have revisited this purpose.We propose an approach, which is in better accordance with the goals of general secondary education in Czechia. The importance of programming is diminishing, while recognition of algorithmic procedures and precise (yet concise) communication of algorithms is gaining importance. This includes expressing algorithms in natural language, which is more useful for most of the students than programming. We propose criteria to evaluate such descriptions. Finally, an idea about the limitations is required (inefficient algorithms, unsolvable problems, Turing’s test). We describe these adjusted educational goals and an outline of the resulting course. Our experience with carrying out the proposed intentions is satisfactory, although we did not accomplish all the defined goals.
Development of competence-oriented curricula is still an important theme in informatics education. Unfortunately informatics curricula, which include the domain of logic programming, are still input-orientated or lack detailed competence descriptions. Therefore, the development of competence model and of learning outcomes' descriptions is essential for the learning process in this domain. A prior research developed both. The next research step is to formulate test items to measure the described learning outcomes. This article describes this procedure and exemplifies test items. It also relates a test in school to the items and shows which misconceptions and typical errors are important to discuss in class. The test result can also confirm or disprove the competence model. Therefore, this school test is important for theoretical research as well as for the concrete planning of lessons. Quantitative analysis in school is important for evaluation and improvement of informatics education.
Einsatz mobiler Endgeräte zur Verbesserung der Lehrqualität in universitären Großveranstaltungen
(2013)
Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird gezeigt, wie mit Hilfe mobiler Endgeräte von Studierenden und einer geeigneten technischen Infrastruktur auch in sehr großen Lehrveranstaltungen mit mehreren hundert Studierenden Lerneraktivierende, kooperative Lernprozesse initiiert werden können. Der Artikel stellt das bereits etablierte methodisch-didaktische Konzept der ‚Peer Instruction‘ (PI) vor, referiert Erkenntnisse zu dessen Lernwirksamkeit und weist auf dessen Einsatzmöglichkeiten in Informatik- und wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Veranstaltungen hin. Die Architektur sowie die Funktionalität der webbasierten Clients von Studierenden und Dozenten werden erörtert. Erste Evaluationsergebnisse zum Praxiseinsatz dieses Konzepts mit der an der Universität Paderborn entwickelten technischen Infrastruktur werden beschrieben und Perspektiven der Weiterentwicklung des Systems vorgestellt.
Das Projekt „Support for E-Learning“ (SupEr) fokussierte auf die dauerhafte Sicherung eines an der Fachhochschule verankerten Unterstützungsangebotes für Lehrende und Studierende in den Bereichen online-gestützte Lehrveranstaltungen und Veranstaltungsaufzeichnungen (E-Learning). Da dauerhafte personelle Ressourcen an der Fachhochschule begrenzt sind, erprobte das Projekt eine E-Learning Supportstruktur mit Hilfe von Studierenden. Das Supportkonzept betonte die Beratung von Professor/inn/en durch studentische Mitarbeiter/innen und unterschied sich dadurch von Konzepten anderer deutscher Hochschulen.
Japan launched the new Course of Study in April 2012, which has been carried out in elementary schools and junior high schools. It will also be implemented in senior high schools from April 2013. This article presents an overview of the information studies education in the new Course of Study for K-12. Besides, the authors point out what role experts of informatics and information studies education should play in the general education centered around information studies that is meant to help people of the nation to lead an active, powerful, and flexible life until the satisfying end.
We present a concept of better integration of practical teaching in student teacher education in Computer Science. As an introduction to the workshop different possible scenarios are discussed on the basis of examples. Afterwards workshop participants will have the opportunity to discuss the application of the aconcepts in other settings.
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.
