Abstract | Australia aims to improve teacher capacity in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education in primary school classrooms. For primary school teachers, such an endeavour requires an integrated approach when planning STEM activities. With a designated STEM curriculum, teachers could more effectively plan activities integrating STEM subjects, particularly the capacity to incorporate mathematics and digital technologies. This paper presents a new conceptual model for planning and teaching computational thinking and coding based on existing theoretical models for teaching mathematics. Also presented is a practical example of the 3C Model’s application in the context of a primary school teaching sequence that integrates Mathematics and Digital Technologies curricula using the BBC micro:bit. |
