School computer education in Korea, by Youngsoo Kim

Jane Margolis and Allan Fisher's book Unlocking the Clubhouse: Women in Computing presented computer education as a clubhouse for boys that was resulting in women and girls being left out of the computer science (CS) loop. This research reveals that now, almost 20 years later, a number of doors, walls, and windows still inhibit certain students from equal access and participation to the computing clubhouse and provides data from Ontario, Canada indicating that females make up only 26%, 21%, and 15.7% of student enrolled in the Grade 10, Grade 11, and Grade 12 high school courses, respectively. Considering the number of initiatives and money related to expanding CS education, including a revision of high school CS curriculum in Ontario and $60 million of additional CanCodes money provided by the federal government, a better understanding of the underrepresentation of females in high school CS is critical.

School Computer

Many mathematics educators and specialists believe that computer education at the undergraduate level should be concentrated in the mathematics and mathematics/education courses. However, the content in these courses is already crowded, and the prospective elementary school teacher still needs more mathematics than is currently taught. To add the necessary knowledge of computers to this overcrowded curriculum is unwise for two reasons. First, it could dilute rather than enhance the mathematics training, and, second, computers should be applied to all disciplines. I believe that a general education in the use of the computer needs to be introduced first and that applications should then be integrated across the curriculum. This approach will allow and encourage teachers to use the computer as a tool in each of the elementary chool subjects. This article recommends a program of computer education at the undergraduate level for elementary school teacher and elementary school computer specialists.

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the educational application that is applied in Yapita Kindergarten Surabaya. The author uses descriptive qualitative methods. The author focuses on how to apply computer education applications to help students memorize the alphabet. The author made observations during the 3x meeting. Each meeting, they get a different computer education application game but the contents of the material are the same. The application has been installed on every school computer that has been adapted to the material being taught. The subject of the research was TK A, amounting to 30 students. Each student uses the computer provided at each meeting for 30 minutes. The results showed that learning media through varied computer programs in a game will make children more excited and enthusiastic to learn because it is not boring. However, for children who do not understand the alphabetical order, they will experience difficulties and confusion. Also, children who have poorly trained physics will experience difficulties when using the mouse. Keywords: : computer application, alphabetical, enthusiastic, soft motoric

In 2018 the IOI will celebrate its thirtieth anniversary. Over these three decades, not only the world secondary school Olympiads in informatics community have been formed, which covers more than 80 countries from all continents, but a formation of an united methodological space of the school Informatics started also. This space allows many countries today to develop school computer science education, using the experience of other countries, materials from the IOI conference journal, sites of computer science contests, and other Internet resources. This article describes a model for organizing an international training event for juniors – International School in Informatics “Junior” – ISIJ.
