Aerial Robotics in Computer Science Education

This paper reports on experience with project courses, especially those concerning the design and construction of an autonomous aerial robot.

Dealing with this complex application task in small teams, advanced students are coached by teaching assistants in state‐of‐the‐art work in special fields of computer science.

The task includes a high potential for motivation and is sufficiently complex for a large range of techniques required. Team‐orientation is an important aspect; the students have to establish and coordinate various individual tasks.     

Computer Science Distance Education Experience in Hawaii

The University of Hawaii at Hilo began offering a B.S. degree in computer science via distance education in 1998. This program serves students on islands with no four-year educational institution.The experiences in planning for and teaching such a program are discussed, together with the technologies used and the outcomes to date.     

科学教育的文化使命

改革开放以来,我国的科学教育取得了长足的进步,但同时也存在着一些问题,如以知识为中心、过于注重解题训练、学生问题意识淡薄、创新能力不足等。总体说来,当今的科学教育还缺乏“科学文化”的底蕴。许多人学了多年的科学,既不能从文化的视角观察科学,也不会用科学的眼光审视文化。我们认为,     

The Role of Visualization in Computer Science Education

Computer science core instruction attempts to provide a detailed understanding of dynamic processes such as the working of an algorithm or the flow of information between computing entities. Such dynamic processes are not well explained by static media such as text and images, and are difficult to convey in lecture. The authors survey the history of visualization in computer science education, focusing on artifacts that have a documented positive educational assessment. Changes in how computing technology has affected the development and uptake of such visualization artifacts in computer science education, and how recent technology changes are leading to progress in developing online hypertextbooks are then discussed.

法学教育与社会文化整合--兼及我国高校法律基础课程教学的现状及改革

由于传统文化根深蒂固，也由于商品经济一步发展的需要，文化整合势在必行。法律与文化有着密不可分的联系，而法学又是实践性极强的学科，所以，法学教育最有可能完成文化整合的使命。但我国已有的法律基础课程，由于设置的缺陷，并不能完成这一使命。通过对其改革而完成这一使命是必要的。     

科学教育的人文价值

探讨科学教育的人文价值功能问题,近几年受到普遍的关注。本文试图结合科学教育理念,对科学人文的价值内涵做出更完整、更有针对性的阐释。     

文化转型与教育学自觉

作为一个举世闻名的明古固，中固有着丰厚的教育思想遗产。然而，中固教育学并未在自身的理论传统根基上完成本土生成，相反却在“西学东渐”之后走上了引进的道路，成了“西学东渐”的产物。本通过探寻这一现象在近代中固化转型方面的原因，从“经世致用”到“学习西学”、再到新化运动这一化转型过程对中固教育学品格的影响入手，剖析了当前我固教育学所处的境遇——脱离中固、脱离实际、脱离大多数；录后得出结论：在新的化转型——化全球化的进程中，中固教育学必须关注教育现实，树立学科的自我意识，从教育问题入手，改进教育研究的评价，通过增强自身的实力来赢得其作为一门学科的应有尊严。     

Cultural Memory Banking in Preservice Science Teacher Education

This study focused on the exemplification of cultural memory banking as an ethnographic tool to understand cultural practices relevant to science teaching and learning in a rural coastal village in a central island of the Philippine archipelago. Using the collaborative action ethnography as a research methodology, 10 prospective science teachers and a science teacher educator/doctoral candidate formed a research team and documented community funds of knowledge relevant to science teaching and learning through their participation in a Community Immersion course. The study employed the use of the cultural memory banking as a meditational tool to analyze, make sense of, and represent interview, focus-group discussion, and observation data, among others, for the development of culturally relevant science lessons. Originally used as an anthropological tool to preserve cultural knowledge associated with the cultivation of indigenous plant varieties, the cultural memory banking, as adapted in science education, was used, both as a data collection and analytic tool, to locate relevant science at the intersection of community life. The research team developed a cultural memory bank exemplar, ??Ginamos: The Stinky Smell that Sells,?? to highlight the learning experiences and meaning-making process of those involved in its development. Dilemmas and insights on the development and use of cultural memory banking were discussed with respect to issues of knowledge mining and mainstreaming of indigenous/local funds of knowledge, troubling the privileged position of Western-inspired nature of science.

Epistemological Issues Concerning Computer Simulations in Science and Their Implications for Science Education

Computers and simulations represent an undeniable aspect of daily scientific life, the use of simulations being comparable to the introduction of the microscope and the telescope, in the development of knowledge. In science education, simulations have been proposed for over three decades as useful tools to improve the conceptual understanding of students and the development of scientific capabilities. However, various epistemological aspects that relate to simulations have received little attention. Although the absence of this discussion is due to various factors, among which the relatively recent interest in the analysis of longstanding epistemological questions concerning the use of simulations, the inclusion of this discussion on the research agenda in science education appears relevant, if we wish to educate scientifically literate students in a vision of the nature of science closer to the work conducted by researchers today. In this paper we review some contemporary thoughts emerging from philosophy of science about simulations in science and set out questions that we consider of relevance for discussion in science education, in particular related with model-based learning and experimental work.     

孕育基础科学人才的沃土,培养基础科学人才的摇篮——国家理科基地建设回顾与总结

建立“国家基础科学研究与人才培养基地”,设立“国家基础科学人才培养基金”,继而培养大批基础科学研究人才,不仅是国家发展的战略需要,是社会发展的必然要求,而且是教育部贯彻落实科教兴国战略,推进基础科学发展的一项具有远见卓识的伟大举措。为了进一步确保和扩大战果,充分发挥理科基地的引领作用,文章提出了一些建议。     

科学哲学的文化转向及其对科学教育的影响

科学哲学的文化转向使人们对科学的本质的认识由传统向现代转变。科学知识是暂时性、主观性、建构性的,它会不断地被修正和推翻。科学哲学的文化转向推动了科学教育改革。培养学生的科学素养是科学教育目标,科学教育应更加重视知识的产生和形成过程。科学学习过程要以探究为主要形式,同时注重对学生进行科学情感、态度与价值观的培养。科学哲学的文化转向将促进科学与人文的融合。     

Computer Science Education Overseas: The Case of Greece

This article examines the Computer Science/Computer Engineering (CS/ CE) education provided in Greece. Emphasis is given to the university‐level education provided by the state with particular consideration of the curriculum, faculty, student body, and facilities. In order to understand Greek CS/CE education better, a brief overview of the entire educational system is given.     

Finding the Hook: Computer Science Education in Elementary Contexts

The purpose of this study was to investigate how elementary teachers with little knowledge of computer science (CS) and project-based learning (PBL) experienced integrating CS through PBL as a part of a standards-based elementary curriculum in Grades 3–5. The researchers used qualitative constant comparison methods on field notes and reflections to describe the teachers' participation in professional development to create CS-infused projects to be implemented with their students. Categories that emerged included standards integration, student autonomy, and challenges of infrastructure and time. The data are from the first 6 months of a 3-year, National Science Foundation-funded project. (Keywords: computer science, project-based learning, integration, elementary curriculum)
