+ | When given relevant information about computational thinking, education students’ attitudes toward computer science | ||
+ | becomes more favorable and they will be more likely to integrate computing principles in their future teaching. | ||
- | We embedded a one-week Computational Thinking Module within the introductory course EDPS 235: Learning and Motivation. This course introduces pre-service K-12 teachers to basic concepts of classroom management, learning, motivation, and assessment. The course builds understanding of concepts and novice-level skills in applying those concepts to teaching and learning situations in K-12 schools. | + | See our {{:ctmods_sigcse11.pdf|SIGCSE 2011 paper}} for more details! |

- | ===== EDCI 270: Introduction to Educational Technology and Computing ===== | + | ===== WebQuest on Computational Thinking ===== |
- | We embedded a one-week online module, centered around the use of a WebQuest on Computational Thinking, in EDCI 270: Introduction to Education Technology and Computing. This course is taken by all teacher education majors and introduces pre-service teachers to the fundamentals of educational technology including the integration of instructional design, media, computers and related technologies within the classroom setting. | + | We also embedded a one-week online module, centered around the use of a **WebQuest on Computational Thinking**, in EDCI 270: Introduction to Education Technology and Computing.
