Tinkering in Informatics as Teaching Method

Topics: Higher Order Thinking Skills; Immersive Learning; Instructional Design; Project Based Learning and Engineering Education

In Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Computer Supported Education - Volume 1: CSEDU, 450-457, 2020

Abstract: Our university offers an IT-based design programme, with an engineering background in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. Its focus on design and creativity, as well as the diversity of the students, requires an approach in informatics courses different from classical computer science programmes. While tinkering is an increasingly popular approach in STEM stimulation and education outside university, we argue that also in an academic setting a tinkering mindset has a relevant contribution. In this paper, we identify key elements in setting up tinkering sessions and report on their implementation for a course on algorithms. We will present and discuss results and observations of our teaching method, that are promising to continue and extend the tinkering approach in an academic setting.
