Corso di laurea magistrale in Scienze pedagogiche

Introduction to computer science through three of its defining elements:

- information representation and elaboration of information, by means of algoritmic computation on (networks of) computers, with elements of security; 

- problem solving, using a simple programming environment suitable for introducing to computer programming; 

- more advanced topics on computing, e.g. elements of design, design of human/computer interaction, and interaction with AI

information representation, information processing, and a focus on the recipient of information, the user.

Introducing programming focusing specifically on server-side web programming in PHP for building dynamic sites, introduction to computer science and HTML lab

In accordance with the Dublin descriptors, the student should:

Know and understand the role of information and the value of knowledge in management and research activities, and the changes that have occurred in computing and communication processes as a result of the introduction of information technology into every branch of knowledge.

Know and understand the structure and main components of a computer and its different forms of operation in order to plan assistance through computer tools

Know how to use programs to analyze and present data in order to improve the quality of care through field research.

Upon completion of the course, the student(s) will be able to.

(i) Master a methodology of conceptual development of a computer application project, from the analysis of requirements from users and application context, to the definition of the functionality and components required to realize the application

(ii) Have learned general concepts about computer programming and problem solving.

(iii) Have developed an introductory understanding of some of the current approaches and methods in computer science.

• introduction to computing, algorithms and the structure of (networks of) computers
• elements of computer security

• problem solving and programming in Scratch

• design of solutions, human-computer interaction, interaction with AI

The course content is the same for both attending and non-attending students.

Lessons (18 hours, 3 CFU) are characterized by a blend of lecture time and practical exercises (individual or in small groups, carried out with the help of the PC).

Attendance is optional, but strongly reccommended.

Teaching material is distributed online. 

Registration to the module kindly required.

The examination is a wirtten test on course content.

The examination  will be the same for attending and nonattending students.

This is a pass/fail course.
