Experiences with empirical modelling tools in schools in Greece and Thailand
Antony Harfield · 2016
S-Eden is an Empirical Modelling tool for learners to build software artefacts using observables and dependencies. Previous case studies in Greece and Thailand have evaluated the potential for using JS-Eden in high school as an alternative to programming environments such as Scratch, Toontalk and Logo. The purpose of this talk is to introduce the characteristics of JS-Eden that make it suitable as a learning environment and to reflect on the experiences of using JS-Eden in these schools. Furthermore, the challenges for students and teachers to make effective use of JS-Eden are discussed.
