Programming in secondary schools in Norway: a wasted opportunity for inclusion
Hilde G. Corneliussen (2018)
Abstract
This paper discusses a pilot introducing programming as an elective in Norwegian secondary schools. Computing is a male dominated field, in Norway as in other European and Western countries. Despite the male dominance in the field, there were no gender inclusion or diversity measures included in the pilot. The result is an elective heavily dominated by boys and a wasted chance of attracting girls to computing.
Algebraic thinking in the shadow of programming
Cecilia Kilhamn and Kajsa Bråting (2019)
Abstract
This paper calls attention to how the recent introduction of programming in schools interacts with the teaching and learning of algebra. The intersection between definitions of computational thinking and algebraic thinking is examined, and an example of a program activity suggested for school mathematics is discussed in detail. We argue that students who are taught computer programming with the aim of developing computational thinking will approach algebra with preconceptions about algebraic concepts and symbols that could both afford and constrain the learning of algebra.

Design Thinking in Education: A Critical Review of Literature
Rex Lor (2017)
Abstract
Design Thinking is an innovative, creative and human-centered process and mindset that employs collaborative multidisciplinary teams in order to generate user- focused products, services or experiences. It has been applied beyond the original sphere of design work to business, engineering, technology, and more recently, education, because of its ability of advancing creativity and innovation by applying an empathetic, flexible and iterative approach. With the quest for a teaching strategy for 21st century skills, work habits and character traits, there has been, in the past five years, keen and wide interest towards Design Thinking as applied in education. This paper therefore provides a systematic, comprehensive and analytical strategy in mapping out and offering a critical review and analysis of over 68 journal articles, books and reports on design thinking in education. Overall, this paper recognizes the gains that can be made from utilizing Design Thinking in education especially in the global quest of teaching 21st century skills. This paper also suggests a need to pursue further studies on the development of a Design Thinking framework for teaching, learning, curriculum design & teacher training.
Design Thinking in Education: Perspectives, Opportunities and Challenges
Stefanie Panke (2019)
Abstract
The article discusses design thinking as a process and mindset for collaboratively finding solutions for wicked problems in a variety of educational settings. Through a systematic literature review the article organizes case studies, reports, theoretical reflections, and other scholarly work to enhance our understanding of the purposes, contexts, benefits, limitations, affordances, constraints, effects and outcomes of design thinking in education. Specifically, the review pursues four questions: (1) What are the characteristics of design thinking that make it particularly fruitful for education? (2) How is design thinking applied in different educational settings? (3) What tools, techniques and methods are characteristic for design thinking? (4) What are the limitations or negative effects of design thinking? The goal of the article is to describe the current knowledge base to gain an improved understanding of the role of design thinking in education, to enhance research communication and discussion of best practice approaches and to chart immediate avenues for research and practice.
