Integrating computer science (CS) into school curricula has become a worldwide preoccupation. Therefore, we present a CS and Robotics integration model and its validation through a large-scale pilot study in the administrative region of the Canton Vaud in Switzerland. Approximately 350 primary school teachers followed a mandatory CS continuing professional development program (CPD) of adapted format with a curriculum scaffolded by instruction modality. This included CS Unplugged activities that aim to teach CS concepts without the use of screens, and Robotics Unplugged activities that employed physical robots, without screens, to learn about robotics and CS concepts. Teachers evaluated positively the CPD and their representation of CS improved. Voluntary adoption rates reached 97% during the CPD and 80% the following year. These results combined with the underpinning literature support the generalisability of the model to other contexts.

小学计算机科学和机器人技术集成模型:大型在职 K-4 教师培训计划的评估

将计算机科学 (CS) 整合到学校课程中已成为世界范围内的当务之急。因此,我们通过在瑞士沃州行政区进行的大规模试点研究,提出了一个 CS 和机器人集成模型及其验证。大约 350 名小学教师参加了强制性的 CS 持续专业发展计划 (CPD),该计划采用了以教学方式为基础的课程。这包括旨在在不使用屏幕的情况下教授 CS 概念的 CS Unplugged 活动,以及使用不带屏幕的物理机器人来学习机器人技术和 CS 概念的 Robotics Unplugged 活动。教师对 CPD 的评价是积极的,他们对 CS 的表现也有所提高。自愿采用率在 CPD 期间达到 97%,次年达到 80%。
