Aim of the workshop
The aim of this workshop is to discuss difficulties concerning what and how to teach logical thinking and programming language.
A brief description of the workshop
The notion of “new bilingual university” has been proposed by some universities in Taiwan, where the “bilingual” is actually a metaphor that means all students need to equip with intermediate English ability and basic programming skills. In the same way, computational thinking and programming skills have been included in the information literacy skills of 12-year Base Education Curricula in Taiwan.
“Logical thinking” should be a very basic requirement of training the computational thinking and programming skills, but there is not any adequate guideline for training logical thinking in higher education. Also, when we reviewed the arrangement of the whole mathematical education in Taiwan in the past five years, we found that only 1-2 units about “logical thinking” are arranged in the Grade 7 or Grade 8, and the materials are not sufficient to train students to have some very basic logical thinking.
This workshop seeks for original papers with a clear significance in the following topics (but are not limited to): teaching logic and programming language at different levels of instruction (elementary education, secondary education, university level, and postgraduate), some the difficulties concerning how to teach and what to teach, resources for learning logic and programming languages, critical thinking, informal logic, teaching Logical Thinking, logic textbooks, gamification in higher education.
