The Effect Of Proper Methods Of Teaching Computer Science

Students will have a career in computers which at a point they will have thru out there school year. They will learn how to program administration, system administration.

Having knowledge of computer science is helpful nowadays and it can be useful in almost everything. Because of computer science, websites are programmed to give search results so quickly; characters on a video game are able to move, tiny screen on a phone can allow someone to browse a web, or even shopping online: many people can feel confident their credit card number will not be stolen. Computer science in nowadays is the most important skill of the 21st century. Nevertheless, it is not widely taught. Many students do not know about computer science. In high school “too many of them are learning English, art history, or ethnic or gender studies, and not enough in technology” (Schulzke). With such a high job growing market and being one of the most important skill in the 21st century, computer science should be mandatory in high school.

The role of diversity in Computer Science (CS) has recently been brought into focus. Reports from top technology companies (e.g., Google, Facebook) indicate that we have a lot of work ahead of us to ensure truly diverse workforces in the technology sector. I was particularly troubled by two findings in these reports: (1) the incredibly low fraction of women relative to men (15-17% vs. 83-85%); and (2) underrepresentation of the “Hispanic” and “Black” communities (together less than 7%). Reading more about this topic helped me understand what the core issues were. One such issue, that needs to be tackled at the early stages of education, is that of getting more school children (especially from underrepresented populations) interested in CS.

When I look at a piece of technology, I always question myself: “How does it work”?” Always wanting to learn how code works, I signed up for my high school’s Java class. At first, understanding Java was like Charlie Brown listening to his teacher speak. However, with time, it became clearer and felt like a challenging game. Although the class continually became more difficult, I thoroughly enjoyed the learning process. Despite knowing that there will be many difficulties to face, I decided to follow my passions and to major in Computer

“Teaching Children Thinking.” (1971) presented Dr. Papert’s work and vision of changing the educational system from the instruction-based mode of teaching to the construction-based mode of teaching. Papert (1971) advocated that with the ever-evolving nature of technology, educators should try to get on board by following Piaget’s assimilation and accommodation process for the current school structures to change. (Papert, 1971.) To drive his point home, he explained that children by nature are thinkers and players so to be successful in school, there must be more playing and thinking in schools. Papert (1971) proposed that one way to make the children think is by allowing them to construct their learning through computer devices with programming language, and programmable physical devices because as they program the computer, they acquire critical and problem-solving skills,

In order to get my point across of the need of more women in Computer Science, the best group to present my solution to is towards the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District. In addition, the school district is great in order to keep it to a local community and present the need to involve all schools to promote some computer related course for all students. This is important because according to a research by the University of Washington, “children express the stereotype that mathematics is for boys, not for girls, as early as second grade” (McElroy 2011). The typical age for the second grade is seven years old and to think that seven years olds already have the mindset of stereotyping at such a young age is astonishing. Consequently, mathematics are very important to Computer Science and at early ages of stereotypes, this would certainly not help the outcome of women in computer-related degrees for the future.

The variety of required classes at Homestead High School provides students with the opportunity to expand their knowledge in familiar areas while also exploring areas of potential interest. However, with a few alterations to the curriculum, students would receive a more well-rounded education. Currently, English is the only class that Homestead requires students to take all four years, resulting in an incomplete educational experience. To combat this issue, Homestead must require its students to take mathematics, science, history, and literature all each year. Additionally, although Homestead offers both Introduction to Java Programming and Advanced Placement Computer Science, neither is required. The UC Should Encourage Computer Education editorial discusses the importance of requiring computer science classes; they encourage a greater percentage of students to potentially pursue careers in the heavily growing field of technology. In order for Homestead’s students to be

Due to the high costs, the IT system has experienced delays in hardware and software upgrades. Most applications used on courses are running on local computers requiring good functioning computers. This creates challenges for students enrolled in Software Development because they cannot practice with newer technologies. Therefore, students have some difficulties in performing daily learning activities.

The advancement in technology is becoming a great benefit in the classroom. More students are learning to use their creative side, which is encouraging individual learning and growth. Through technology, students find it is easier for them to work together with others. The group members can join together over the internet and they don’t have to be in the same room. As there continues to be new improvements in the various types of technology, it is helping the student prepare for the real world.

Playing games on my father's computer as a child fascinated me in the way the computer works, how fast it develops, and now how the computer helps the world to communicate. It still amazes me in how fast computers change and how communication across the globe is enhanced with the computer. Computers have drastically changed how society lives and does business. Even small businesses can do global sales without leaving their location. With new strategies for business, comes cyber threats of identity theft and theft of intellectual property that brings information technology security and new laws into play. It is becoming a fast and ever challenging world. Computer science enables the ability to program software for protection against these kinds of threats and vulnerabilities. It also enables the ability to program artificial intelligence into the computer system software to enable society to meet their needs in more appropriate ways.

With the continuous reform of college English，the computer –aided teaching mode is rising quietly and pervasively in China. Educators strongly hold that it is greatly important and necessary to apply multimedia in college English teaching. In the new era, with the rapid development of science and technology, “Computer and English” has become two indispensable skills. The College English Curriculum Requirements issued by Ministry of Education proposed using the internet as a medium to better English teaching and learning in higher education. However, traditional teaching of English has shown more and more shortcomings, such as teacher-dominating teaching, single teaching mode, boring learning material, which has hindered the students to greatly improve in English learning. Until now, more and more research and study about college English learning has been carried out. Varieties of teaching methodologies and teaching modes are applied in English teaching. However, the teaching effect is far from satisfying.

It is universally agreeable that with the advent of Computer technology, every ambitious and enthusiastic individual is really obsessed with the idea of doing computer science at graduate level because it seems to have created a zeal and enthusiasm in the hearts of youth, particularly those who aspire to be marked as high achievers. I, for one, seem to have been enchanted by these computer applications as they have made the world smaller, speaking in terms of globalization. I have no hesitation to add that core computerization alone is the suitable answer to all the areas unexploited and to the areas waiting for development. It has always been a fascination for me about how computers work, how these applications are designed and what can be the newer ways to explore the world of computers to make our world better. This interest became a passion for me when I was exposed to computer science basics, during my middle school. Pursuing computer science engineering at undergraduate level, further propelled my passion for computer science along with providing me a deeper insight and in-depth understanding of the subject. After completing my under graduation in Computer Science, I am willing to expedite my research interest and a masters degree seemed the most appropriate choice for realizing my aspirations.

The present era has progressed not only in terms of education but also in the department of information technology. People usually resort into using technology for a faster way of communication, to progress in work and in education. Some colleges and universities have implemented the different kinds of technology for purposes of developing a student’s skills and abilities. “Technology is seen in several forms from the simple functions of a calculator used in mathematics to the most complicated computers and technological gadgets” (Flannagan L.J., pg. 07). However, alongside the positive advantages of technology and advanced computer system, there is also a negative side or disadvantages causing problems that need to be solved. While the “ideal goal for educators is to implement technology in the classroom and see definite positive affects on student achievement” (Flannagan L.J., pg. 09). We are living in a world filled with high tech gadgets in the current time like ipads, social media such as twitter, facebook, tumbr and google.

Problem solving in education is a transformative component in fostering creativity and learning. An educator is constantly seeking new ways to better enhance and to create meaningful learning experiences. In a world that is so driven by technology in the digital age, finding ways to creatively use Computational Thinking and Computer Science skills will create innovative thinkers among our students. Besides the foreseen challenges of the ever changing upgrades and application of new technologies; how can tools and computing skills be presented in such a manner to create and instill problem solving skills that will be lasting benefits for our students? As I continue to bring my two educational worlds, art and technology, closer together I strive to create problem solvers through engagement, construction of knowledge, reflection, and collaboration.

The benefits of computer science can be minor, and it also can be huge. On the minor side, we can search anything on a computer today, without even having to step outside. For example, if we are looking for some resources for our research paper, we can easily check online libraries instead of flipping through pages from different books at a physical library we had to travel to. It seems to have become fashionable nowadays to write naysayer articles about how popular efforts to expand computer science educations are waste of time. [1]. Computer science is the major key for the establishment of data base for most companies now, and even majority of the companies are running based on computer systems. Computer science plays an important role in the field of education as well. Computer Science is much more than learning to code, and its benefits go beyond knowing a particular programming language.
