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.
Well-curated package for learning computational thinking and programming with a mix of online and offline tools. The students also practice other crucial skills such as drawing, counting and safety.
The tasks are presented through everyday life events (weather and clothes, baking) which make make easier to understand and learn, but teach a real coding vocabulary.
Resly platform is easy to use, and Novice bot offers a multitude of options for demonstrating key concepts, as well as potential for creative coding.
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
Use an iterative process to plan the development of a program by including others' perspectives and considering user preferences.
Test and debug (identify and fix errors) a program or algorithm to ensure it runs as intended.
Take on varying roles, with teacher guidance, when collaborating with peers during the design, implementation, and review stages of program development.
Describe choices made during program development using code comments, presentations, and demonstrations.
Decompose (break down) problems into smaller, manageable subproblems to facilitate the program development process.
Create programs that include sequences, events, loops, and conditionals.
Compare and refine multiple algorithms for the same task and determine which is the most appropriate.
Debug (identify and fix) errors in an algorithm or program that includes sequences and simple loops.
Decompose (break down) the steps needed to solve a problem into a precise sequence of instructions.
Develop programs with sequences and simple loops, to express ideas or address a problem.
Model the way programs store and manipulate data by using numbers or other symbols to represent information.
Model daily processes by creating and following algorithms (sets of step-by-step instructions) to complete tasks.
Using correct terminology, describe steps taken and choices made during the iterative process of program development.
Give attribution when using the ideas and creations of others while developing programs.
Develop plans that describe a program’s sequence of events, goals, and expected outcomes.
Describe how internal and external parts of computing devices function to form a system.
Describe basic hardware and software problems using accurate terminology.
Use appropriate terminology in identifying and describing the function of common physical components of computing systems (hardware).
Modify, remix, or incorporate portions of an existing program into one's own work, to develop something new or add more advanced features.
Select and operate appropriate software to perform a variety of tasks, and recognize that users have different needs and preferences for the technology they use.
Create programs that use variables to store and modify data.
Model how computer hardware and software work together as a system to accomplish tasks.
