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.

• K-2-ETS1-1. Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.
• 3-5-ETS1-1. Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
• Apply their understanding of computing to program, monitor and control their products.
• Evaluate their ideas and products against their own design criteria and consider the views of others to improve their work.
• 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.
• Understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation.
• Learn to analyse problems in computational terms
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.
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.
