Settings and Contexts for Physical Computing in CS Classes

Published: 08 November 2017 Publication History

Abstract

With the recent integration of physical computing in computer science school curricula, teachers need to acquire knowledge and methods in this relatively new branch of computer science and undertake initial attempts at teaching. In a case study, we interviewed six teachers about their classroom experience with physical computing. Here, we describe the teaching scenarios they developed.
