what abstractions and data representations will best help develop an automated solution is a key part of Computational thinking.[14] Computational thinking has evolved from designing software to formulating problems so that their solutions can be expressed as Denning (2017) computational steps. [5] Computational thinking is defined as a universal attitude and skill Voogt (2015) set that includes decomposition, abstraction, algorithmic thinking and pattern matching, and programming.[17]b) Learning of Computational ThinkingProgramming activities are an effective factor in developing Computational Thinking skills.Also, both cognitive aspects and practice must be taken into consideration to
engagement, b) includeactive and cooperative learning and c) implement peer instruction. In addition, the fill-insheets have enabled differentiated instruction in the class room, by adding symbolicsolutions to challenge the advanced student, while helping the average and below averagestudent solve the basic problem using numbers. Aside from these an equal number ofproblems are given as homework which have varying degrees of fill-in to inculcate andtrain students in problem solving. Additionally, detailed solutions are made available toimprove problem solving skills, while teaching methodologies. Student surveys indicatethat these fill-in sheets have increased their learning.Bibliography1. Smith, K. A., Sheppard, S. D., Johnson, D. W. and, Johnson

I do understand the complications of connecting this info to following section from an educators’ point of view. The quiz and exams are based on this section and I don’t believe enough emphasis is present in the lectures. Maybe this could be tweaked, so that the oral connects more with the slides and what we should have to know for our edification. e) Great teacher! This is the most clear of all the lectures.

Specifically, as an innovation-driven learning platform, the Foundry provides an iterative framework through whichresearcher/user teams identify a societal challenge for innovation (Figure 3, element 1). Engagingin this platform, researchers will progress leveraging the two pistons – i.e., in Figure 3, KnowledgeAcquisition (A) and Knowledge Transfer (B) – to develop a PIT (Figure 3, element 6) thataddresses the identified challenge.

This will alsoencourage a long-lasting benefit of retrieval of information on a particular tricky part of aconcept.The quizzes were given in three conditions at the beginning of class, referred to as type of quiz.Each section of Introduction to Fluid Mechanics had a different type of quiz, though they mighthave received the same word. 1. Type A quiz: students closed all books and notes and the instructor provided the word connected to the concept. Students had three minutes to write their explanations. 2. Type B quiz
