News ERASMUS+ project: Computational Thinking and Mathematical Thinking

June 9^th Dr Cornelia Connolly, School of Education, presented along with colleagues from the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) at their ERASMUS+ project meeting.  The project “Computational thinking and mathematical thinking: digital literacy in mathematics curricula” focuses on the use of digital tools which young people and pre-service teachers will explore in our technology-rich learning environment.

The project outcomes will influence the design of national curricula and the research questions how we can develop computational thinking skills in relation to mathematical thinking, in pure and applied mathematics.

This ERASMUS+ (2019-2021) project is a collaboration with the School of Education, NUI Galway, National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA); Eötvös Loránd University, Hungry; KU Leuven, Belgium; National Education Institute Slovenia; Estonian Education Competence Center; Norwegian University of Science and Technology; and SLO, Netherlands Institute for Curriculum Development.
