| Introduction |
|---|
| The goal of this course is to teach students to become digital citizens and to develop logical thinking skills so that they can learn problem-solving strategies, steps, and processes and can make good use of information tools to implement problem-solving practices. Learning computational thinking helps to understand how computers work, that is, how computers "think" and execute instructions. Not only is it helpful to computer science majors, it can also be applied to different disciplines, including literature, arts, sports and other non-computer science fields. After completing this course, students will: 1. get familiar with basic application software, 2. develop system thinking, and 3. be able to analyze a problem, find the core issue, and adopt appropriate methods or effectively use technology to solve the problem. |
| Outline |
|---|
| The contents of this course include three parts: basic application software, logical thinking training, and problem-solving practice, which are described below. First, the basic application software will focus on the production of slides commonly used in classrooms and workplaces, including creating presentation materials and presentation skills, editing and beautifying slides and customizing slide playing, designing master slides, and integrating with other software. Second, logical thinking training centered on visual programming and aided by physical teaching tools (such as the Halocode) for students of different majors to easily get started and strengthen their learning motivation to nurture system thinking, including decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm. Third, the problem-solving practice is based on problem-based learning in which students are guided to exert their computational thinking ability, propose comprehensive solutions, and ultimately undertake the practice. The problem for students to solve can be a common problem across different fields or a problem that conforms to the characteristics of the college or department. |
