Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
Knowledge and understanding. The course provides the knowledge and understanding of the concepts underlying computer programming and computational thinking: algorithm, instruction, instruction concatenation, conditional execution, repetition, procedures, functions, variables, parameters, debugging.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding. Application of computational thinking to the elaboration, representation and execution of simple procedures in the didactic field. Ability to recognize computational aspects in different disciplinary fields. Ability to move from intuition to implementation.
Autonomy of judgment. The course stimulates independent judgment through the practice of debugging: critical analysis of procedures and algorithms in order to identify and correct errors.
Communication skills. The elements of visual programming provided by the course constitute to all effects a language suitable for the representation and unambiguous communication of complex procedures that offer constructive solutions to given problems. The activities proposed in the course include teamwork, sharing the solutions adopted and peer evaluation.
Learning ability. The course helps to develop learning skills by offering the methodological tools to apply computational thinking to teaching and studying each subject area.
Teaching Material
The teaching material prepared by the lecturer in addition to recommended textbooks (such as for instance slides, lecture notes, exercises, bibliography) and communications from the lecturer specific to the course can be found inside the Moodle platform › blended.uniurb.it
Supporting Activities
Lectures notes provided within the MOOC platform.
Teaching, Attendance, Course Books and Assessment
- Teaching
The course is delivered as MOOC on https://mooc.uniurb.it/codemooc
- Attendance
Mandatory ansynchronous online attendance
- Course books
Lecture notes and linked materials provided with the MOOC platform
- Assessment
Written test on unplugged coding principles and applications, online visual programming, remix/debugging of a Scratch project. Assessment must be done on campus.
- Disabilità e DSA
Le studentesse e gli studenti che hanno registrato la certificazione di disabilità o la certificazione di DSA presso l'Ufficio Inclusione e diritto allo studio, possono chiedere di utilizzare le mappe concettuali (per parole chiave) durante la prova di esame.
A tal fine, è necessario inviare le mappe, due settimane prima dell’appello di esame, alla o al docente del corso, che ne verificherà la coerenza con le indicazioni delle linee guida di ateneo e potrà chiederne la modifica.
