Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we developed a computing education curriculum and programming environment that systematically teaches techniques such as data structures and algorithms, AI, and information ethics in primary and secondary education. We also evaluated the use of generative AI, and were able to gain new insights into evaluation methods for computing education that uses generative AI in primary and secondary education in the future.
In particular, we proposed a curriculum for computing education that systematically teaches data structures and algorithms, as well as a curriculum consisting of problem-solving exercises. We also developed programming education materials based on this, as well as problem-solving materials, and confirmed their usefulness.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

データ構造とアルゴリムを体系的に学ぶコンピューティング教育のカリキュラムは，今後の初等・中等教育における一貫したプログラミング教育の可能性を示すと考えられる。特にこれにより，現在の初等・中等教育の教育課程の中で，一貫した題材を活用することで教科間，校種間連携による教育カリキュラムと教材の可可能性と，コンピューティング教育体制の充実に関する新たな知見を得ることができた。また3D没入型コミュニケーションツールを使うことで従来型の遠隔研修ではなくオンラインによるアクティブラーニングの可能性を示唆することができた。
