Development Problem Solving Computer Literacy Laboratory at SUNY-Geneseo

该项目开发了一个实验室，以支持基于计算机科学家使用的解决问题技术的“计算机素养”课程。本课程旨在解决一般学生在解决问题能力上的不足。计算机科学家希望他们的课程能够反映计算机科学家实践的技能。另一方面，计算机知识课程也必须满足其他院系的需要。因此，本课程采用通用形式的应用软件作为工具。学生在这些工具中发展足够的技能，同时专注于课程的问题解决方面。本课程主要针对那些不打算继续从事计算机科学领域的学生，特别是教育专业的学生。新的服务课程在计算机应用的背景下解决严重的问题或推理问题。正式的问题解决技术以一种非技术学生可以理解的方式呈现。计算机科学家和其他科学和数学团体的成员在他们工作的许多方面使用的是相同的技术。学生还将以类似于化学学生学习天平和本生灯的方式学习电子表格和数据库的知识：两者都是解决严重智力问题时使用的工具。

This project develops a laboratory to support a "computer literacy" course based on the problem solving techniques used by computer scientists. This course addresses some of the deficiencies in problem solving skills observed in the general student body. Computer scientists want their courses to reflect the skills which computer scientists practice. On the other hand, computer literacy courses must also serve the needs as perceived by other departments. Therefore, the course employs common forms of applications software as tools. Students develop sufficient skills in those tools while concentrating on the problem solving aspects of the course. The course is aimed primarily to those students who do not intend to pursue the field of computer science further, in particular education majors. The new service course addresses serious problem solving or reasoning issues - in the context of computer applications. Formal problem solving techniques are presented in a manner understandable by non-technical students. These are the same techniques used by computer scientists, and other members of the scientific and mathematical communities in many aspects of their work. Students also acquire a knowledge of spreadsheets and data bases in a manner analogous to the way chemistry students learn about balances and Bunsen burners: both are tools used while addressing serious intellectual problems.
