Didaktik der Informatik

The book "Didactics of Computer Science" by Peter Hubwieser offers a comprehensive and contemporary approach to computer science education. In the third edition, fundamental learning psychology aspects that are significant for lesson design are first addressed. The author explains general didactic principles and provides practical tips for planning and conducting teaching units. A central point of the work is the justification for introducing computer science as a mandatory subject, particularly in the context of an increasingly differentiated information society. The teaching approach derived from these considerations focuses not only on programming skills but also on fundamental principles of information processing. In the third part of the book, specific lesson plans are presented that illustrate the delivery of these contents and can serve as a valuable resource for educators.
