Computational Thinking

2020/2021

Modulets indhold, forløb og pædagogik

Course on Computational Thinking integrated into the project

Læringsmål

Viden

  • Learn to problem-solve through a subset of computational thinking concepts (algorithm design, automation, and abstraction)  

  • Understand agent-based techniques to computational thinking (formalization and simulation). 

  • Basic introduction to concepts of computational thinking (decomposition, pattern recognition, and data representation) 

Færdigheder

  • Ability to read, understand, evaluate and potentially modify existing computational structures and data representations. 

  • Ability to formulate and decompose a problem into a series of ordered steps (algorithmic thinking) 

  • Ability to read, understand, evaluate and potentially modify computational models/agent-based models (Netlogo) 

  • Ability to use abstractions and pattern recognition to represent a problem in new and different ways 

Kompetencer

  • Exercise CT-based problem-orientation by formulating problems in students’ bachelor domains with focus on problems, which can be addressed through CT 

  • Design computational models to address identified problems using computational thinking techniques 

Undervisningsform

Project work, including: 

  • Formulation, analysis and contribution to the resolution of a current research problem within the theme of the project module 

  • As an integrated part of the project work, the student must follow the Problem based learning and project management workshop (1 ECTS).  

  • Lecturing time is spent on PBL, exercises and CT 

Omfang og forventet arbejdsindsats

It is expected that the student uses 30 hours per ECTS, which for this activity means 300 hours
