Learning goals

Certified by Education Alliance Finland

The supported learning goals are identified by mapping the product against the selected reference curriculum and soft skills definitions most relevant for the 21st century.

• Using technology as a part of explorative process
• Create clearly named variables that represent different data types and perform operations on their values.
• Test and debug (identify and fix errors) a program or algorithm to ensure it runs as intended.
• Create programs that include sequences, events, loops, and conditionals.
• Decompose (break down) the steps needed to solve a problem into a precise sequence of instructions.
• Develop programs with sequences and simple loops, to express ideas or address a problem.
• Debug (identify and fix) errors in an algorithm or program that includes sequences and simple loops.
• Develop plans that describe a program’s sequence of events, goals, and expected outcomes.
• Develop their capability, creativity and knowledge in computer science, digital media and information technology.
• Develop and apply their analytic, problem-solving, design, and computational thinking skills.
Undertake creative projects that involve selecting, using, and combining multiple applications, preferably across a range of devices.
Understand simple Boolean logic and some of its uses in circuits and programming.
Understand several key algorithms that reflect computational thinking.
Design and develop modular programs that use procedures or functions.
Use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs.
Use sequence, selection, and repetition in programs; work with variables and various forms of input and output.
Design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts.
Use technology purposefully to create, organise, store, manipulate and retrieve digital content.
Use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of simple programs.
Create and debug simple programs.
Understand what algorithms are; how they are implemented as programs on digital devices; and that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions.
