Abstract

Nowadays, in Dutch secondary education, computer science is integrated within school subjects. About ten years ago computer science was considered an independent subject, but in the mid-1980s this idea changed. In our study we investigated whether the objectives of teaching computer science as an independent subject are met when computer science is integrated within school subjects. The main problem was that there was no formal curriculum of computer science as an independent subject. Therefore we interviewed 13 experts in the field of computer science and then compared this formal curriculum with the operational (integrated) curriculum, which is still in the development stage. It appears that most of the components of the formal curriculum are being covered by the operational curriculum, and we therefore concluded that these curricula are equivalent, although there may be differences in the level of teaching. In our opinion the best approach to computer science is to combine the independent and the integrated approaches.

荷兰中等教育中的计算机科学:独立还是整合?
如今,在荷兰的中学教育中,计算机科学被纳入了学校课程。大约十年前,计算机科学被认为是一门独立的学科,但在20世纪80年代中期,这种想法发生了变化。在我们的研究中,我们调查了当计算机科学被整合到学校的学科中时,计算机科学作为一门独立学科的教学目标是否得到满足。主要的问题是,没有将计算机科学作为一门独立学科的正式课程。因此,我们采访了13位计算机科学领域的专家,然后将这种正式课程与仍处于发展阶段的操作(综合)课程进行了比较。看来,正规课程的大部分内容都包括在业务课程中,因此,我们的结论是,这些课程是等效的,尽管教学水平可能有所不同。在我们看来,学习计算机科学最好的方法是把独立的方法和综合的方法结合起来。
