WikiCSSH: Extracting Computer Science Subject Headings from Wikipedia

Studying pedagogical sciences for Computer Science subject nowadays does not meet with great interest of students in Slovakia. Education of young generation in this area is strongly affected by small number of well qualified teachers as well as lack of high-quality teaching materials resulting to deplorable knowledge of the pupils. The very same situation is also with preparation of future teachers. They have only limited possibilities of direct contact with pupils during their studies, what leads to weak experience of the future teachers and low motivation of the children for Computer Science subject. This contribution gives a positive example of extracurricular educative activity for pupils from lower-secondary schools, where students of Teaching of Computer Science program and Applied Informatics program were involved as lecturers or tutors. In this activity we used various motivational tools for teaching programming and Computer Science as well. The contribution describes our experience with these tools for programming, which we used in our extracurricular activity – so called “Informatics club” and also in the two primary schools and three secondary schools in the region of Banská Bystrica. Motivational devices, which were used are: education board bbc micro:bit with accessories (IoT set, gamepad, micro:bit cars), didactic devices – robots (Airblock, mBot Ranger, Phiro Pro) and board game Scottie Go!.

In this paper we will deal about the importance of the study of the subject Fluid Dynamics in Engineering field. Students are more likely to study Engineering courses in the recent days. Engineering deals with the basic concepts of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Though, Computer Science subject is a pulse to Engineering, the subjects, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are heart beat to Engineering courses. In this study, we will discuss where and how Fluid Dynamics stands as a crown to Engineering Field.

Science Subject

Informational support of education is an area of pedagogical science that has been actively developing in Russia over the past few decades. Today, it has become the basis for the digital transformation of education, whose essence is transforming the methods of professional teaching by integrating digital technologies and moving to a data-based decision-making model. Among the participants of educational relations, there are diametrically opposite views on the possibility and feasibility of digitalization of education, especially at its initial stage. The purpose of this research is to present an authorial standpoint on the problem of digitalization of education with regard to both elementary general education in general, and digitalization of the Mathematics and Computer Science subject area, in particular, at the level of primary general education. The research methods include content analysis of scientific articles and methodological publications, the regulatory framework of school education, as well as generalization and systematization of international research in the field of the digital transformation of education. Authors considered external aspects of the digital transformation of primary education, determined by the general requirements for the information educational environment; highlighted activity areas related to the formation of students’ basic digital skills in the course of mastering all subject areas without exception; as well as revealed the problems of internal digitalization of the Mathematics and Computer Science subject area at the level of primary general education. The article substantiates the expediency of strengthening the logical and algorithmic components of the initial course of mathematics, the content line responsible for working with data, as well as several other issues related to theoretical computer science, and outlines prospects of the digital transformation of training of future primary school teachers to work in a modern digital educational environment.
