Abstract
Computational thinking skills are recognised as essential competencies for future citizens in an increasingly digital society, and such skills can be cultivated from the early stages of schooling through various pedagogical approaches. This article focuses on a culturally responsive, unplugged approach to teaching computational thinking skills, integrated within language/literature and arts lessons in primary education. The study examines the implementation of specially designed lesson plans for this purpose across multiple grade levels in Greek primary schools. It presents the methodology followed during the implementation of the lesson plans, emphasising the specific objectives related to linking computational thinking concepts with language/literature and arts curricula. Data drawn from the implementation process – including evidence of classroom practices and feedback collected from seven primary school teachers through questionnaires, focus group discussions and reflective journals – were analysed to address the research questions. The findings highlight effective elements of the educational design methodology, offer recommendations for teacher professional development, and underscore the potential of integrated, culturally responsive instruction in fostering computational thinking skills through unplugged activities in language/literature and arts education at the primary level.

Title:Kulturno odzivno vključevanje veščin računalniškega mišljenja v pouk jezika, književnosti in umetnosti s pristopom računalništva brez računalnika : študija primera v Grčiji
Abstract:
Veščine računalniškega mišljenja so priznane kot bistvene kompetence za prihodnje državljane v vse bolj digitalni družbi, te veščine pa je mogoče razvijati že od zgodnjih stopenj šolanja z različnimi pedagoškimi pristopi. Ta članek se osredinja na kulturno odzivno vključevanje veščin računalniškega mišljenja v pouk jezika, književnosti in umetnosti v osnovni šoli, in sicer s pristopom računalništva brez računalnika. Študija preučuje izvajanje za ta namen oblikovanih učnih načrtov v več razredih grških osnovnih šol. Predstavlja metodologijo, ki se je uporabljala pri izvajanju učnih načrtov, s poudarkom na posebnih ciljih, ki povezujejo koncepte računalniškega mišljenja z učnimi načrti za jezik, književnost in za umetnost. Podatki, pridobljeni iz procesa izvajanja – vključno z dokazi o praksah v razredu in s povratnimi informacijami sedmih osnovnošolskih učiteljev, ki smo jih zbrali prek vprašalnikov, diskusij v fokusnih skupinah in refleksivnih dnevnikov –, so bili analizirani za obravnavo raziskovalnih vprašanj. Ugotovitve poudarjajo učinkovite elemente metodologije načrtovanja pouka, ponujajo priporočila za strokovni razvoj učiteljev ter poudarjajo potencial medpredmetnega, kulturno odzivnega poučevanja pri spodbujanju veščin računalniškega mišljenja prek pristopa računalništva brez računalnika pri pouku jezika, književnosti in umetnosti na osnovnošolski ravni.

Keywords:računalniško mišljenje, kulturna odzivnost, načrtovanje izobraževanja, medpredmetno poučevanje, pristop računalništvo brez računalnika, računalništvo, pouk
