Algorithmic Thinking

The relevance of the chosen research topic is to highlight the issue related to the formation of algorithmic thinking in primary school students in computer science lessons. The aim of the article is to identify the role of computer science and mathematics in the formation of algorithmic thinking style. To achieve this goal, the following methods were used: analysis, comparison, observation, synthesis. Statistical data processing was also used. The article states that the basis for algorithmic thinking is the formation of mathematical competence of junior high school students. In computer science lessons, students apply the acquired knowledge of mathematics by practical methods. Therefore, the appropriate level of students’ knowledge of mathematics is important. The article presents a table of success levels in mathematics and computer science for third and fourth graders of one of the primary schools in Uzhhorod. The level of success in studying mathematics was compared with the level of success in studying computer science by third-graders and similarly by fourth-graders. When comparing the two empirical distributions, we used the two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov agreement criterion. We have shown that the selected general populations are stochastically equivalent. Comparing the results of educational achievements in computer science and mathematics of students of 3rd and 4th grades, we came to the conclusion that the formation of mathematical competence helps in solving problems in computer science lessons that require logical thinking and algorithmic skills. We believe that more attention should be paid to the study of the basics of programming in school, the development of logical and algorithmic thinking in mathematics and computer science, as well as in elective classes.

The Us

<p>This communication project aims to increase our understanding of climate processes, the Arctic and the importance of research through the active involvement of primary to junior high school students. The project is based on NERSC's ongoing activity in the Arctic Sea, collaborating with several projects and utilizing a concept introduced by the US Coast Guard. Students of four primary schools in western Norway produced a total of 230 small wooden boats.  Together with a comparable number of boats produced by US students they were subsequently launched on the ice in the Arctic Ocean by the coast guard ship KV Svalbard in August and November 2020 as part of scientific cruises. Scientific buoys were also launched, transmitting their position and surface temperature. Through a dedicated web-site students and teachers could follow the drift in near real time. Boats are uniquely branded with a web address, so they may be reported if found after drifting ashore.</p><p>The project website serves both as a communication hub between scientists and students and teachers and to reach out to a wider audience. Several films were produced in this regard. Webinars were held by NERSC scientists on climate and ocean science topics and crew members from K/V Svalbard on work and life onboard a coast guard vessel. Feedback from the teachers will also be presented.</p>

One factor in learning mathematics is the need for communication skills. Carpenter & Gorg (2000: 60) states "Communication is an essential part of mathematics and mathematics education", which means that communication is an important part of mathematics and mathematics education. Mathematical communication is related to problem solving, because with the existence of mathematical communication students will understand better in solving mathematical problems. This qualitative descriptive study aims to describe the written mathematics communication of junior high school students in solving mathematical problems in terms of students' mathematical abilities. The data obtained came from three subjects, namely VIII grade junior high school students who had received the material system of two-variable linear equations (SPLDV). The three subjects consisted of students with high mathematical abilities, students with moderate mathematical abilities, and students with low mathematical abilities. The results of this study are the accuracy of writing mathematics for high ability and medium ability students is declared accurate, but low abilities is not declared accurate. In the completeness aspect, high ability and medium ability students written mathematics communication is complete for any information that has been submitted. But, student with low abilities is not complete. In the aspect of fluency, students with high abilities are able to communicate fluently in mathematics, but students with moderate and low abilities cannot fluently. .

The Bebras Challenge is an International Challenge on Informatics and Computational Thinking (CT). The goal of the challenge is to make students interested in Computer Science (CS) and CT. The authors let students participate in Bebras in regular Informatics classes at a high school in Japan. Not only involving the challenge, but we also implemented a learning activity which students create original Bebras-like problems. The learning activity aims to make students recognize that materials for algorithmic thinking are around them. Most of the students worked well and produced idea full problems. They created many great works. And some of them were selected as Japanese representative questions for the International Bebras Task Workshop by the Japanese Committee for the IOI, which conducts the Bebras Challenge in Japan. Some of them were used in the actual Bebras Challenge. In this report, we show the students’ original questions and discuss the educational effect of this learning activity.

Mathematical competence refers to the skills of students in reasoning, connection, communication, representation, and problem-solving. Various researchers have massively discussed on how to foster mathematical competence. However, it is just a few of them comprehensively explain from the cognitive styles perspective. This research aims to measure the junior high school students’ mathematical competence based on their cognitive style.This research used a descriptive qualitative approach. There were 35 students took part in the mapping of cognitive styles using the Matching Familiar Figure Test and were then selected representative from the reflective and the impulsive cognitive style to have a further assessment of the mathematical competence using the mathematical competence test. The data analysis used the model of Milles and Huberman. The results showed that there was a difference mathematical competence between the subject having impulsive cognitive style and the one having reflective cognitive style. The percentage of mathematical competence of reflective subject was 69% while the impulsive subject was 56.89%. From all aspects of mathematical competence, the reflective subject tends better ability; for instance, the reflective subject has better ability than the impulsive subject on mathematical connection, mathematical reasoning, mathematical representation, and problem-solving.

Abstract Background: The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic produces a long-term effect on adolescent psychological health. There were two objectives of this study: (1) To compare psychological outcomes between an early stage of pandemic and post-pandemic era among junior high and high school students in China; (2) To investigate how COVID-19 fear impacts psychological health through a serial mediation of Internet addiction and learning burnout.Methods: Two cross-sectional online surveys were conducted among Chinese adolescents at April 2020 and at April 2021, respectively. Psychological consequence was assessed by the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). In addition, influencing factors were assessed by the Fear of COVID-19 scale (FCV-19S), Internet Addiction Test (IAT), and Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS).Results: Our sample comprised 501 junior high school students and 540 high school students. There was a significant increase in symptoms of depression (χ2 = 7.03, P < 0.01), anxiety (χ2 = 35.50, P < 0.01), and stress (χ2 = 13.60, P < 0.01) at post-pandemic era compared with an early stage of COVID-19. Importantly, Internet addiction and learning burnout were identified the serial mediators between fear of COVID-19 and psychological health (β = 0.02, 95% CI = 0.01, 0.03).Conclusions: During the post-pandemic era in China, an increased number of junior high and high school students' psychological health was affected compared with the number during the pandemic. Furthermore, fear of COVID-19 influenced psychological health through first Internet addiction and then learning burnout.
