Overview

The growing influence of information technologies in everyday life has underscored the increasing importance of computer science education. The goal of computer science education is not merely to teach students how to code but to develop individuals with strong problem-solving abilities. Pedagogy-driven concepts such as computational thinking and computational participation highlight the problem-solving dimension of computer science and are shaping learning approaches worldwide. Effective instructional design is critical for environments where these concepts are taught. The proposed book, Effective Computer Science Education in K-12 Classrooms, aims to offer a scientific and holistic instructional roadmap for educators at the K-12 level. By detailing concrete educational approaches, this book will provide valuable insights and strategies to enhance the quality and efficiency of computer science education. It will serve as a guide for educators seeking to develop content and teaching methods that are both pedagogically sound and highly effective in building problem-solving skills among students.
