The main objective of our project is to help teachers acquire the knowledge and principles to design, create and offer e-learning materials using the principles of computational thinking. More specifically, our project aimed to answer the following questions: -What pedagogical methods can a teacher apply to online learning using the axioms of computational thinking? -How can a teacher be trained to create and use e-learning materials using the axioms of computational thinking? What we want to achieve in this project is summarised below: Teachers should familiarise themselves with the axioms of computational thinking. Although computational thinking has become a trendy word in educational research in computer science, many teachers have heard the term (i.e. computational thinking) but do not understand what it is. Therefore, the teacher needs to delve into the world of digital tools that are used to teach and assess computational thinking. In the next section, teachers explore the different pedagogical methods used to create and teach online using CT.
Over the past few decades, computational thinking (CT) has received widespread attention and has been recognised as one of the essential skills skills required by those growing up in the digital age. To raise the next generation to be creative problem solvers, there is a growing need to implement computer thinking education into the school curriculum. Computational thinking is considered one of the most in-demand digital skills of the 21st century. Among other skills such as reading, writing and mathematics, computer thinking is presented as a great challenge to achieve. On the other hand, with the increase in enrolment in online courses, there is a demand for teachers trained in teaching with technology and who can design effective online learning materials. However, teachers may perceive barriers to successful online education programmes such as the loss of personal interaction with students, technological challenges, pedagogical concerns, institutional policy issues and potential problems associated with online teaching.
