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 aspects of learning psychology that are important for lesson planning are first addressed. The author explains general didactic principles and provides practical advice for planning and conducting lessons. A central point of the work is the argument for introducing computer science as a compulsory subject, particularly in an increasingly differentiated information society. The teaching approach goes beyond merely imparting programming skills and focuses on fundamental principles of information processing. In the third part of the book, concrete lesson plans are presented as examples for implementing the learning content. This book is a valuable resource for teachers who wish to design computer science lessons in an innovative and effective manner.
