Poučevanje rekurzije v osnovni šoli : diplomsko delo

Štrukelj, Tajda (author), Rugelj, Jože (mentor)

Rekurzija je postopek, ki se pri izvajanju sklicuje na samega sebe. Z njo se srečamo na različnih področjih, vendar pa se najbolj povezuje z računalništvom. Gre namreč za enega izmed osnovnih konceptov računalniškega področja, imenovanega programiranje. Pojem rekurzije pri programiranju povezujemo še z drugimi pomembnimi koncepti, kot so algoritem, program, sklad ... V osnovnih šolah pri izbirnih predmetih urejanje besedil, multimedija in računalniška omrežja programiranju ni bilo namenjenih veliko ur. Počasi se v osnovne šole uvaja predmet računalništvo, ki pri učencih spodbuja razvoj algoritmičnega razmišljanja že v bolj zgodnjih fazah učenja. Hkrati za programiranje predvideva več učnih ur, kar pa pomeni, da se bodo učenci že v drugi triadi srečali s pomembnimi računalniškimi koncepti. Raziskave so pokazale, da je tudi rekurzija eden izmed težjih računalniških konceptov, tako za učence kot tudi učitelje. V diplomskem delu v ta namen predstavljamo primere aktivnosti za poučevanje rekurzije in predlagamo dva sklopa učnih ur, s katerima si lahko učitelji pomagajo pri poučevanju računalništva.

• Title: Teaching recursion in primary school

Abstract

Recursion is a procedure which calls itself when executing. We encounter recursion in different fields, but most usually we connect it to the field of computer science. It is one of basic concepts in programming. Recursion is often connected to other important concepts, such as algorithm, program, stack ... There were just few lessons dedicated to teaching programming in the primary school curriculum for the courses word processing, multimedia and computer networks. The elective course computer science is slowly being introduced into primary school, which will strengthen learners' algoritmic thinking in early stages of their learning process. Computer science's curriculum provides more lessons, dedicated to teaching programming, which subsequently means that learners will encounter basic computer science concepts in the second triade. Researches have shown that recursion is one of the most difficult computer science concepts, not only for learnes, but also for teachers. For this purpose, we introduce some activities for teaching recursion in this thesis. We have also prepared two sets of lessons that can help teachers in the classroom.
