“…Ein auf wirkliches Verstehen und auf Partizipation ausgelegter Informatikunterricht berücksichtigt diese Zusammenhänge im Sinne genetischen Lernens und ermutigt Lernende dazu, selbst steuernd, zeichnend und gestaltend aktiv zu werden, statt Konsumentin und Konsument von schwer durchschaubaren digitalen Applikationen zu bleiben (ebd.). Die 2017 vorgestellte browserbasierte LOGO-Lernumgebung von Jacqueline Staub (ETH) wurde über mehrere Jahre mit mehr als 2000 Schülerinnen und Schülern getestet und kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt (Hromkovič, Serafini & Staub, 2017). Seit dem Herbst 2018 begleiten auch PH-Bern-Studierende in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Ausbildungs-und Beratungszentrum für Informatikunterricht (ABZ) der ETH Zürich interessierte Schulklassen der 5. und 6.…”

Weltweit wächst die Hoffnung auf technische Lösungen für umweltbezogene, wirtschaftliche sowie gesellschaftliche Probleme. Dies wirft auch in Bildungsdebatten Fragen nach technischem Know-how auf und verstärkt Forderungen nach Technischer Bildung. Dieser Band stellt das Ergebnis eines interdisziplinären Dialogs zwischen Forschenden und Lehrenden an Universitäten und Pädagogischen Hochschulen sowie Expert*innen und Praktiker*innen schulischer und außerschulischer Institutionen dar. Entsprechend versammelt er eine Vielzahl von Annäherungen, Positionierungen und Berichten zu Fragen Technischer Bildung aus Praxis, Lehre und Forschung. So werden Wege zur Erforschung der Bildungspotenziale Technischer Bildung aufgezeigt, Desiderata benannt, Ableitungen für die Lehrkräftebildung diskutiert sowie Herausforderungen für Technikunterricht und für die didaktische Forschung reflektiert. Als erster Band in der Reihe »Gespräche zum Sachunterricht« verfolgt das Buch damit das Ziel, zu fruchtbaren Diskussionen im Sinne einer gelingenden Bildung für alle beizutragen.

“…Programming environments that facilitate programming for non-programmers and/or children are environments that have visual characteristics and block programming, promising simpler and more understandable interfaces [25]. The aim of the usability analysis of these environments is to identify if they effectively fulfill their purpose (i.e., [26]- [28] and [29]). Some studies have even incorporated natural language to support novice programmers [30].…”

Programmer eXperience: A Systematic Literature Review

Programmers use various software development artifacts in their work, such as programming environments, design documents, and programming codes. These software artifacts can be studied and improved based on usability and User eXperience (UX) factors. In this paper, we consider programmers to be a specific case of users and analyze different elements that influence their experience in this specific context. We conducted a systematic literature review of papers published over the last ten years related to 1) the definition of the Programmer eXperience (PX); 2) the PX, UX, and usability factors regarding the programming environments, design documents, and programming codes; and 3) sets of heuristics to evaluate the software development artifacts mentioned before. We analyzed 73 articles, and the results obtained show that: 1) the important elements that influence the PX are the motivation of programmers and the choice of tools they use in their work, such as programming environments; 2) most of the identified studies (59%) aimed to evaluate the influence of the PX, UX, and usability on programming environments; 3) the majority of the studies (70%) used methods such as usability tests and/or heuristic evaluation methods; and 4) four sets of heuristics are used to evaluate software development artifacts in relation to programming environments, programming languages, and application programming interfaces. The results suggest that further research in this area is necessary to better understand and evaluate the concept of the PX.

“…One of the well-studied methods for teaching computational thinking is the use of digital games. We can find in the literature both studies of the didactic use of games already available and commonly used for recreation [4] and the development of games and platforms specifically aimed at computer education [22,23].…”

This survey is offered in honour of the special occasion of the birthday celebration of science and education pioneer Professor Juraj Hromkovič. In this survey, we review recent results on one-player floodfilling games on graphs, Flood-It and Free-Flood-It, in which the player aims to make the board monochromatic with a minimum number of flooding moves. As for many colored graph problems, flood-filling games have relevant interpretations in bioinformatics. The original versions of Flood-It and Free-Flood-It are played on n × m grids, but several studies were devoted to analyzing the complexity of these games when the "board" (the graph) belongs to other graph classes. A complete mapping of the complexity of flood-filling games on trees is presented, charting the consequences of single and aggregate parameterizations. The Flood-It problem on trees and the Restricted Shortest Common Supersequence (RSCS) problem are analogous. Flood-It remains NP-hard when played on 3-colored trees. A general framework for reducibility from Flood-It to Free-Flood-It is revisited. The complexity behavior of these games when played on various kinds of graphs is surveyed, such as Cartesian products of cycles and paths, circular grids, split graphs, co-comparability graphs, and AT-free graphs. We review a recent investigation of the parameterized complexity of Flood-It when the size of a minimum vertex cover is the structural parameter. Some educational aspects of the game are also reviewed. Happy Birthday, Juraj!
