تقويم وحدات البرمجة بمقررات الحاسب و تقنية المعلومات للمرحلة الثانوية في ضوء مهارات التفكير الحاسوبي

الملخص EN

The study aimed to evaluate the programming units in the curricula of computer and IT for High School.

The researchers used descriptive methodology (content analysis).

The population of study consisted of the programming units in the curricula of computer and IT for high school level, and the sample of the study represented its whole community.

Content analysis card tools has been used to achieve the objectives study.

Results showed, the average percentage of the availability of computational thinking skills was 9.28%, which was very low.

Such availability level was disproportionately divided into 6 skills that could be arranged in a descending order as follows: The level of automation was low; as it reached 39.5%, the level of algorithms was very low as it reached 8.9%, the level of decomposition was very low as it reached 4.17%, the level of pattern recognition &generalization was very low as it reached 1.67%, the level of evaluation skill was very low as it reached 0.76% ,and the level of abstraction skill was very low as it reached 0.7%.

In light of these results, a proposed scenario was presented to integrate computational thinking skills into the programming units in the curricula of computer and IT for high school level.
