CISE Educational Innovation: Radically Rethinking CSI

麻省理工学院9979859 Stein，Lynn A.麻省理工学院CISE教育创新：从根本上重新思考CS1这项CISE教育创新(EI)提案请求资金，用于开发和传播一门计算机科学入门课程，该课程基于计算是由并行交互实体组成的思想。目前，大多数CS1课程都是基于图灵和冯·诺伊曼的顺序执行模型，即由CPU执行的一系列步骤的计算。然而，这些模型不再描述服务器、操作系统和机器人等现代系统。这样的系统是根据它们正在进行的互动而不是它们的最终结果来判断的。它们的组成部分在概念上是同时存在的实体，而不是严格按顺序排列的步骤。许多CS课程向Java的过渡为建议的CS1方法提供了一个很好的杠杆点。提议的项目有可能极大地改变CS1的教学方式和学生对计算机科学的思考方式。

9979859Stein, Lynn A.Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyCISE Educational Innovation: Radically Rethinking CS1This CISE Educational Innovation (EI) proposal requests funds for the development and dissemination of an introductory computer science course based on the idea that computation is made up of concurrent interacting entities. At present, most CS1 courses are based on Turing's and Von Neumann's models of sequential execution, i.e. computation as a sequence of steps executed by a CPU. However, these models no longer describe modern systems like servers, operating systems, and robots. Systems like these are judged by their ongoing interactions rather than their end results. Their constituent parts are conceptually contemporaneous entities rather than rigidly sequenced steps. The transition to Java in many CS curricula provides an excellent leverage point for the proposed approach to CS1. The proposed project has the potential to dramatically change the way that CS1 is taught and the way that students think about computer science.
