Abstract

Abstraction is a fundamental skill and concept in computer science and it is also a difficult skill to teach. The purpose of the working group is to analyse different perspectives of abstraction's conceptualisation and ways of teaching the skill. Therefore as a result of the working group we will be first identifying how abstraction is discussed and defined in key literature. As a team we will agree on the perspectives and models we will like to explore in teaching context. Finally we will work with computing educators and computing education researchers to design a pedagogical framework that will enable the development of the abstraction skills.
