Abstract

Tradicionalna se nastava mora i može značajno unaprijediti suvremenim tehnikama poučavanja i učenja. Dugo su već istraživačima predmet interesa načini na koje početnici usvajaju programske koncepte i izazovi s kojima se susreću u poučavanju početnika programera. Računarska znanost koja izučava računala i algoritamske procese ima za zadatak prepoznati što je učenicima zanimljivo. Učenici trebaju programirati odnosno kreirati i konkretno upotrebljavati algoritme, a ne programirati samo kako bi programirali. Uloga učitelja je identificirati kada učenici stvaraju miskoncepcije i modificirati način poučavanja primjeren stvaranju pravilnih mentalnih modela programskih koncepta. U ovom diplomskom radu naglasak je na razvoju računalnog razmišljanja i računalnog programiranja odnosno predloženi su metodički naputci za obradu programskog koncepta while petlje pod pretpostavkom da takvim pristupom učenici neće razviti pogrešne koncepte o petlji te da će koncept programske uvjetne petlje moći primijeniti i na druge programske jezike neovisno o sintaksi. Odabrana je while petlja, jer se pokazalo kako početnici imaju poteškoća u razumijevanju te programske strukture. Metodički naputci obrađeni su po teoriji konstruktivizma u Python programskom jeziku. Odabran je Python programski jezik jer se pokazalo kako je pogodan za početnike programere zbog jednostavne sintakse i više programskih paradigmi, što olakšava tranziciju na druge programske jezike.

Abstract (english)

Traditional teaching must and can be significantly improved by modern teaching and learning techniques. Researchers have long been interested in the ways in which beginners adopt programming concepts and the challenges they face in teaching novice programmers. Computer science studies computers and algorithmic processes have the task of recognizing what is interesting to students. Students need to program or create and specifically use algorithms, not just program to program. The role of the teacher is to identify when students create misconceptions and modify the teaching method appropriate to creating proper mental models of programming concepts. In this thesis, the emphasis is on the development of computer thinking and computer programming, i.e. methodological guidelines for processing the programming concept of the while loop are proposed, assuming that such an approach will not develop erroneous concepts of the loop and that the concept of programming conditional loop will be able to be applied to other programming languages, regardless of syntax. The while loop was chosen because beginners were shown to have difficulty understanding that program structure. Methodical instructions are processed according to the theory of constructivism in the Python programming language. Python programming language was chosen because it proved to be suitable for novice developers due to its simple syntax and multiple programming paradigms, which facilitates the transition to other programming languages.
