Craft Guru proposes to implement the following training program for 25 teachers for ONE days in order to provide hands-on training focused on Computational Thinking across curriculum.

Introduction

This training is created by Computational Thinking Specialist from Carnegie Mellon Robotic Academy. It is built on a foundation of pedagogy that features learner-centric instruction.

Training Programme Synopsis and Objective

This course emphasizes Computational Thinking that utilizes participants’ prior knowledge in their subject area in order to help them understand how they can develop this thinking skills and eventually transfer to their students. The training is research-based, hands-on, with interactive themes that engage participants while also embedding differentiated instruction so participants can work at their individual instructional level.

In the 21st Century, it is no longer about how much knowledge we have gained, how well we know about technology.

  • 21st Century is about Technology and Software. How equipped are our students in terms of future skills?
  • Knowledge imparted to students today may not be relevant tomorrow. What should we be teaching? It’s thinking skills and life-long learning attitude.
  • 60% of the job will be replaced by A.I., how should we prepare our students to face the world? It’s computational, creativity and critical thinking.
  • By just teaching “knowledge” and “theory” is not good enough. The rapid change of technology information has led the world to focus on transforming education from “plateaus of knowing to continuous cycles of learning. If educators are still spoon feeding students with knowledge, they will be replaced by robot. Auto-marking system, Google answering students’ questions, Online Learning … all these technologies are replacing the routine role of a teacher.

Objectives

After the training, teachers are able to:

  • Identify their thinking patterns.
  • Have a high level of understanding on Computational Thinking and the ability to successfully apply this knowledge while teaching the curriculum.
  • Synthesize CT pedagogy into teaching.
  • Transform their teaching approach into more creative instruction.

Suggested Participants

Educators who wish to find out more about:

  • Computational Thinking skills – how well we solve real-world problems with the aid of technology.
  • Collaboration – How well we collaborate with others.
  • Communication – How to communicate our findings (data).
  • Creativity – How innovatively and creatively we can think to find a solution that is not only cost effective, but scalable.
