14 School Subject Informatics (Computer Science) in Russia: Educational Relevant Areas
i i i i School Subject Informatics (Computer Science) in Russia: Educational Relevant Areas EVGENIY KHENNER and IGOR SEMAKIN, Perm State National Research University, Russia This article deals with some aspects of studying Informatics in Russian schools. Those aspects are part of the ‘third dimension’ of the Darmstadt model (they are also projected on the other two dimensions of this model) and include evolution of the subject, regulatory norms conforming to the Federal Educational Standards, the learning objectives, the required learning outcomes, and the Unified National Examination in Informatics, which is required for admission to a number of university programs. It is interesting to note that correspondence between requirements for the outcomes of learning Informatics in Russian school and the requirements of K-12 Computer Science Standards (USA) is quite satisfactory. It is noteworthy that the relatively high level of school education in Informatics in Russia is determined by the well-established methodological system with a 30-year history, the subject’s being on the list of core disciplines at school, as well as the existence of a state-sponsored system of education teachers of Informatics. Categories and Subject Descriptors: K.3.2 [Computers and Education]: Computer and Information Science Education—Computer science education General Terms: Algorithms, Languages, Security Additional Key Words and Phrases: History of Informatics in school, education policies, educational standards, qualification and professional experience of teachers, learning objectives and outcomes, structural components of Informatics, curriculum issues, Unified National Exam, extracurricular activities, textbooks, didactic software ACM Reference Format: Khenner, E. and Semakin, I. 2014.

The Discipline and the Tool
Ontology: The Discipline and the Tool Doug Mayhew1,2, Dirk Siebert1 1 Institute for Formal Ontology and Medical Information Science, University of Leipzig, 04107 Leipzig, Härtelstraße 16-18, Germany doug.mayhew, [email protected] 2 Department of Philosophy, University at Buffalo, New York, USA Abstract. The fields of philosophy and informatics entertain two somewhat dif- ferent conceptions of ontology. Philosophical ontology is a branch of metaphys- ics dating back at least to the time of Plato and Aristotle. Ontology in informat- ics has its origins in the artificial intelligence research of the eighties and nineties. This means that the fields of philosophy and informatics entertain two somewhat different conceptions of ontology and the present paper discusses the relationship between these two conceptions. Differences and similarities are pointed out and variations in methodological approaches are also discussed. Ef- forts to combine the ontological methodologies and resources of the two fields are surveyed, and actual and potential benefits and drawbacks of such collabo- rations are examined. Different Concepts The fields of philosophy and informatics entertain two somewhat different concep- tions of ontology, with correspondingly different notions of what ontology is for. First, we have the age-old conception of ontology as a philosophical discipline. Se- cond, we have the relatively new conception of ontology as an information organiza- tion tool, a notion of ontology adapted from the philosophical conception by artificial intelligence researchers and then adopted by the applications-oriented field of infor- matics. (The philosophical conception was recognized in informatics as early as the late sixties in data modeling research [1].) The two conceptions have their characteris- tic differences, which show up primarily in what each field thinks ontology is for.

Cutezantei 57, Romania e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Received: November 2013 Abstract. A recent report by the joint Informatics Europe & ACM Europe Working Group on Informatics Education emphasizes that: (1) computational thinking is an important ability that all people should possess; (2) informatics-based concepts, abilities and skills are teachable, and must be included in the primary and particularly in the secondary school curriculum. Accordingly, the “2013 Best Practices in Education Award” (organized by Informatics Europe) was devoted to initiatives promoting Informatics Education in Primary and Secondary Schools. In this paper we present one of the winning projects: “Multi-Sensory Informatics Education”. We have developed effective multi-sensory methods and software-tools to improve the teaching-learning process of elementary, sorting and recursive algorithms. The technologically and artistically enhanced learn- ing environment we present has also the potential to promote intercultural computer science edu- cation and the algorithmic thinking of both science- and humanities-oriented learners. Keywords: multisensory education, informatics education, intercultural education, algorithmic thinking. 1. Introduction According to a recent report of the joint Informatics Europe & ACM Europe Working Group on Informatics Education (IE & ACM, 2013), for a nation or group of nations to compete in the race for technological innovation, the general population must under- stand the basics of informatics: the science behind Information Technology.

Social Informatics: Natural Tools for Students' Information Training in the Conditions of Embodied and Mental Approaches Being Employed
Journal of Social Studies Education Research Sosyal Bilgiler Eğitimi Araştırmaları Dergisi 2017:8 (2),100-116 www.jsser.org Social Informatics: Natural Tools for Students' Information Training in The Conditions of Embodied and Mental Approaches Being Employed Daria Barkhatova1, Elmira Nigmatulina2, Tatyana Stepanova3 Abstract The relevance of the problem under study is due to the society's requirements for the quality information training of a personality which is oriented to forming the solid fundamental knowledge as well as to developing the cognitive capacities that are needed for solving mental tasks. With regard to this, the paper is aimed at finding out the opportunities of applying the natural tools in information training of students from the standpoints of embodied and mental approaches. The main idea of these is integrated studying of an object, beginning with learning it in an "embodied" way and finishing with abstract models formed in the human memory. The leading approach to the research is the integrated one taking into account the psychological and pedagogical, didactic and methodological constituents. It allows identifying the psychological and pedagogical conditions of application of natural tools as well as the possible ways of their use. The authors describe models of natural tools of computer science training in individual sections of the school course as the main results. The materials of the paper are of practical value in methods of teaching computer science to students at various stages of education. Keywords: embodied approach, mental approach, information training, natural training tool, tool use in education. Introduction The modern world is currently characterized by a quick tempo of life, a global, rapid and continuous nature of processes occurring in it.

Ontology and Information Systems
Ontology and Information Systems 1 Barry Smith Philosophical Ontology Ontology as a branch of philosophy is the science of what is, of the kinds and structures of objects, properties, events, processes and relations in every area of reality. ‘Ontology’ is often used by philosophers as a synonym for ‘metaphysics’ (literally: ‘what comes after the Physics’), a term which was used by early students of Aristotle to refer to what Aristotle himself called ‘first philosophy’.2 The term ‘ontology’ (or ontologia) was itself coined in 1613, independently, by two philosophers, Rudolf Göckel (Goclenius), in his Lexicon philosophicum and Jacob Lorhard (Lorhardus), in his Theatrum philosophicum. The first occurrence in English recorded by the OED appears in Bailey’s dictionary of 1721, which defines ontology as ‘an Account of being in the Abstract’. Methods and Goals of Philosophical Ontology The methods of philosophical ontology are the methods of philosophy in general. They include the development of theories of wider or narrower scope and the testing and refinement of such theories by measuring them up, either against difficult 1 This paper is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. BCS-9975557 (“Ontology and Geographic Categories”) and by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation under the auspices of its Wolfgang Paul Program.
