Micas, a web platform to support teachers of computing at school
| Resumo: | This document presents the motivation, development and results of a Masters Thesis work in Informatics focused on Computational Thinking Education, that was accomplished at Universidade do Minho in Braga, Portugal. This thesis is based on a big ontology that describes in detail the concepts ’Computational Thinking’ and ’Programming’, which maps those concepts to different education levels, starting with the first year. The main goal is the development of a Web Platform that, on one hand, helps on collecting in a repository and classifying any kind of resources to be used by teachers on computing classes and, on the other hand, helps on the retrieval from that repository of the most adequate resources to teach a specific subject to a specific level. The classification and the intelligent search mechanism will follow the knowledge description defined by the ontology. |
