Abstract: | Several countries have usually adopted several priorities for developing ICT competences from kindergarten to secondary education. Most of them are focused on the development of key competences and/or coding skills. Although coding may be very attractive for young students and a very good practice or experience, it could be more interesting to develop students’ logical thinking skills and problem-solving skills throughout programming approaches or computational thinking. This is a very exciting challenge with lots of possibilities regarding coding, robots, mobiles devices, Arduino-based application, game-based learning and so on. Taccle3 - Coding is a European Union Erasmus+ KA2 Programme project that supports primary school staff and others who are teaching computing to 4-14 year olds. Specifically, TACCLE 3 project has three main objectives: 1) To equip fellow classroom teachers, whatever their level of confidence, with the knowledge and the materials they need to teach coding effectively; 2) To develop a website of easy-to-follow and innovative ideas and resources to aid teachers in teaching coding. They will also find a review of the current academic research and an overview of the resources currently available for teaching coding; and 3) To provide national and international in-service training courses and other staff development events to help support and develop confidence and competences in teaching coding. This chapter explains the work done in TACCLE 3 and the firsts experiences we have to near the computational thinking to the primary school teachers, with a special attention to the using of smart textile objects. |
