The pedagogical analysis covers how the product supports learning of the identified skills. The student’s role is assessed by four contrary pair parameters, which are selected to cover the most essential aspects on the use of the product.
The following are the high educational quality aspects in this product.
Exported games with well developed visuals
Engaging and informative materials
Integration between the kit and the app
The supported learning goals are identified by matching the product with several relevant curricula descriptions on this subject area. The soft skills are definitions of learning goals most relevant for the 21st century. They are formed by taking a reference from different definitions of 21st century skills and Finnish curriculum.
Subject based learning goals
Understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, decomposition, logic, algorithms, and data representation.
Use abstraction effectively to model selected aspects of the external world in a program and to appropriately structure programs into modular parts with clear, well documented interfaces.
Evaluate the fitness for purpose of algorithms in meeting requi.rements efficiently using logical reasoning and test data
Use appropriate security techniques, including validation and authentication.
Design, write, test and refine programs, using one or more high-level programming language with a textual program definition, either to a specification or to solve a problem.
Take a systematic approach to problem solving including the use of decomposition and abstraction, and make use of conventions including pseudo code and flowcharts.
Characteristics and purpose of different levels of programming language, including low-level language.
Networks and the importance of connectivity, both wired and wireless, types of network, common network topologies and network security.
Hardware components and embedded systems.
The purpose and functionality of systems software, including the operating system and utility software.
Boolean logic using AND, OR and NOT, combinations of these, and the application of logical operators in appropriate truth tables to solve problems.
Representation of text, sound, and graphics inside computers.
Representation of numbers in binary and hexadecimal; conversion between these and decimal; binary addition and shifts.
The concept of data type, including integer, Boolean, real, character and string, and data structures, including records and one- and two-dimensional arrays.
How particular programs and algorithms work.
Following and writing algorithms to solve problems including sequence, selection and iteration, and input, processing and output
Standard algorithms, including binary search and merge sort.
Apply mathematical skills relevant to computer science.
Understand the impacts of digital technology to the individual and to wider society.
Understand the components that make up digital systems, and how they communicate with one another and with other systems.
Think creatively, innovatively, analytically, logically and critically.
Analyse problems in computational terms through practical experience of solving such problems, including designing, writing and debugging programs.
