Il coding nei percorsi di tirocinio degli studenti di Scienze dell’educazione e della formazione. Uno studio di caso

Abstract

The rapid changes that characterize the world of work ask school and university to critically rethink the way to facilitate creative skills. The coding and the development of computational thinking are declined in this context as facilitators of these skills in everyday life and in working contexts. The contribution presents a case study that describes peer tutoring laboratory activities focused on learning coding skills that involved students, enrolled in the Degree Course in Education and Training Sciences of the University of Siena, as a form of alternative curricular internship during the lockdown period. The study shows how students approached this form of internship, how they designed peer tutoring sessions and the gains in terms of learning and professional development.
