Abstract

This study deals with the optimal equipment of a mobile case for computer science teachers, which offers the possibility to teach the skills of the curricula from primary to high school of the 21st century. First, the Single Board Computers (SBCs) in question are filtered out from previous studies and the accessory parts required are determined through a quantitative market analysis. Then, by combining the results with a qualitative analysis according to Mayring, the degree of curricular coverage of individual accessories is determined and binarized. Afterwards, the optimal equipment of the mobile case is evaluated and established based on the cost overlap by horizontal summation and vertical inclusion of the necessary accessories after recording the prices and the budget. The results were clearly presented in network diagrams and lists. This study thus provides computer science teachers and computer science professors with a budget-dependent basis for making decisions about the contents of a mobile case for computer science lessons or a computer science laboratory for learning the skills of the curricula from primary to high school of the 21st century. The study closes with a summary and an outlook.

Highlights

The teaching of digital content and processes has been included in the curricula of primary to high school in recent years
In the study "Digital didactic objectives of primary, secondary, and higher education curricula in the 21st century executable with a single-board computer" by Nothacker & Lavicza, the skills of the 21st century in computer science teaching were presented based on the curricula and examined whether they could be realised with a single-board computer (Nothacker et al, 2020: 350)
In the subsequent study of 2021 "Low-costs computer learning sets and the relation to the digital didactic goals of the 21st century," Nothacker carried out a quantitative market analysis of currently available single-board computers and determined the degree of congruence between the two parameters using a combinatorial approach of properties from the technical documentation of individual products and the digital competences and skills to be taught in the curricula of the primary to high school levels (Nothacker, 2021)

Summary

Introduction

The teaching of digital content and processes has been included in the curricula of primary to high school in recent years. In the subsequent study of 2021 "Low-costs computer learning sets and the relation to the digital didactic goals of the 21st century," Nothacker carried out a quantitative market analysis of currently available single-board computers and determined the degree of congruence between the two parameters using a combinatorial approach of properties from the technical documentation of individual products and the digital competences and skills to be taught in the curricula of the primary to high school levels (Nothacker, 2021).
