TPM dissemination and impact

Friday July 14th 2017

Dimitris reviewed the dissemination to Greek teachers

construit.org sould have

	shopping
	light in the room
	electrical circuit
	
	solar system

The interaction between Gk teachers and Finnsih researchers and Warwick developers etc


	participatory design
	
Perceptions about implication

	Piet despite radically evolved still really a tool for HE -- not directly for schools and children?
	
	Ilkka: for all levels of 'programming'

	WMB object-to-convers-with and the iplications of that for co-creation (eveyone important)
	
Piet Dan Schneider's talk v important --- take away the complexity that digital ingredients bring
	how this operates on the senses and imagination of the child ..
	possible to implement in schools by teachers (whereas technology isn't?)
	
Ilkka plans for an August disseminatuon exercise to University teachers

EH -- working in partnership as in the HELM project

	Piet: 	Technical team working with secondary school teachers
			together create resources for secondary schools
		
Piet: we better understand essence of construals -- used in different way from how we predicted

	transfer out of scope (influenecs on shcool tecahers that are not immediately apparent)
	
	Releveance of the ZPD 
	
		Piet I think meant that impact of CONSTRUIT! on learning lay in this unrealised impact on fringe
		but also could see the technial shoft as enabling enagagement with the ZPD

	EH benefit in the resonance between the technical and the domain experts
	
	ODA is broader Dimitris -- implications of making construals as beyond programming
	
	ODA not being very well mateched to programming
	
		Mark Guzdial ("CS is hard" / programming is hard)
		WMB tried to explain how Guzdial's approach was simplifying programming
		Chris Hall did not see it that way -- more about process
		distinction between 'process' and incompatibility unnecessary with programming as is
			
Ilkka

	too time-consuming
	
	expressing with the computer is always hard 
	
		spreadsheet, html, word --- have to have a skill that takes time to learn
		
	Piet: experts gaining understanding bring into the mainstream curriculum
			radio technology in the 1930s
			
mobile phone 'killer app'?

How to convey value of construals

	categorise by domains
	
	thumbnail -- how to choose?
	
	Piet fake news / big data / data analytics?
	
		opportunity to link data mining to meaning in ODA terms
		
	paedaggogy -- can we make a model of observables as in Angeliki's polygon exercise
	
Future directiom

	prospects at Warwick?

	commercialisation -- Nick
	Piet future out of academia more appropriate
	
	Ilkka joint ws with Ant
	
Book for teacher education -- aim at educators

	how it links to current didactics

	from interest to construal / practice
	
	design methodology / sw engineering / computational thinking
