Teacher’s Role in Fostering Preschoolers’ Computational Thinking: An Exploratory Case Study

AbstractDeveloping and orchestrating classroom discourse about students’ different solution methods is an essential yet complex task for mathematics teachers. This study reports on the first stages of classroom discourse development of one Dutch higher secondary school mathematics teacher who had no prior experience in including classroom discourse in her teaching practice. Four lessons in analytic geometry were developed iteratively, in collaboration with the teacher. The lessons consisted of students working on a mathematical problem plus classroom discourse concerning students’ different solution methods. Classroom discourse video recordings were collected and analyzed in order to develop a framework to characterize the teacher’s actions, and to describe the change in the teacher’s role in classroom discourse. The results reveal three main changes in the teacher’s role: First, the way the teacher reacted to correct or incorrect solution methods shifted from confirming or setting aside suggestions, toward making the solution methods the subject of discussion; second, the distribution of turns changed such that more students were involved in the discourse and in reacting to each other’s solution methods; third, the teacher’s actions shifted from convergent, teacher-led actions toward divergent, student-led actions. These results show that within four lessons, an important step has been taken toward establishing a discourse community.

Exploratory Case Study

Research on Computational Thinking has been growing over the last years, mainly focusing on Elementary and High School students. Challenging audiences, such as Youth and Adults Education, are rarely addressed or even cited in current literature. This Master's research investigates Computational Thinking as a way to promote digital inclusion and proposes a model to design and conduct initiatives for Youth and Adults Education taking into account the characteristics and particularities of this public. The model, with a set of principles and practices, was applied and analyzed in an exploratory case study inside a public school. Results suggest the model is promising to inspire practices to develop Computational Thinking for inclusion. As additional contributions, activities applied in a real setting and lessons learned from their application are presented to support and inform further initiatives.
