Educational Quality

Learning Goals

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.

Passive

Active

The lesson plans consist of interesting and fun activities that gradually get more difficult and require applying of knowledge. Programming itself requires active participation, and the used platforms allow experimentation and taking the learned further.

Rehearse

Construct

In Kodarit, prior skills or knowledge needs to be used in conjunction with new. Learning to happens through coding and observation. The activities are interesting and guide students gradually towards new challenges, and in many activities, there are various complexity levels available. The pedagogical guidance document has some good tips on how to eg. start the class by telling what can be expected, and how it is important to make sure everyone is learning at their own level and pace.

Linear

Non-linear/Creative

Learning progress is individual, as the student is responsible for doing activities themselves. The new concepts are build on top of the previous ones, and the progression is clear. The activities in progressive lessons repeat and enforce the concepts learned previously, which allows practicing and using them in new ways.

Individual

Collaborative

Learning programming happens effectively when doing it by yourself, also individually. Kodarit courses are based on live classes and allow face-to-face interaction to be part of the learning experience. It combines digital and face-to-face guidance as the platforms offer interaction between the player and the platform and the teacher can help out those who need more assistance.

The following are the high educational quality aspects in this product.

Kodarit program offers well designed and engaging activities for learning coding.

The curriculum introduces different programming languages and tools for the students.

With a skilled teacher, the material offers an individual and effective learning path of various students.

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

Decompose (break down) the steps needed to solve a problem into a precise sequence of instructions.

Test and debug (identify and fix errors) a program or algorithm to ensure it runs as intended.

Create programs that include sequences, events, loops, and conditionals.

Use lists to simplify solutions, generalizing computational problems instead of repeatedly using simple variables.

Debug (identify and fix) errors in an algorithm or program that includes sequences and simple loops.

Model daily processes by creating and following algorithms (sets of step-by-step instructions) to complete tasks.

Develop programs with sequences and simple loops, to express ideas or address a problem.

Develop plans that describe a program’s sequence of events, goals, and expected outcomes.

Develop programs for multiple computing platforms.

Demonstrate code reuse by creating programming solutions using libraries and APIs.

Modify an existing program to add additional functionality and discuss intended and unintended implications (e.g., breaking other functionality).

Evaluate key qualities of a program through a process such as a code review.

Create programs that use variables to store and modify data.
