Model for Introducing STEM1 into High School Computer Science Education

摘要

In this paper, we discuss a vision and the model on how it is possible to introduce STEM**into a single Computer Science (CS) course to educate students at the High School level. Wepresent our approach at four levels: (i) as a conceptual model; (ii) as a framework that gives more information about the conceptual model, (iii) as a process-based vision that is close to the implementation level; and (iv) as two Case Studies that outline the implementation and use aspects. The essence and novelty of our approach is the seamless integration of the essential attributes of STEM-driven and CS-oriented content with the STEM pedagogy features. The use of meta-programming as the implementation technology enables to achieve that though the pre-designed Smart Generative Learning Objects, though we discuss those aspects only fragmentally. We also present an evaluation of the approach from the methodological and pedagogical perspectives, by describing both advantages and limitations.
