Item type:Publication, TEACHERS' SURVEY ON THE TEACHING OF COMPUTING AS A COMPULSORY SUBJECT FOR PUPILS OF AGE 8(IATED, 2023-07); ; According to the European Union’s Council and the Commission on the implementation of the strategic framework for European cooperation in education and training, relevant and high-quality learning requires more innovative pedagogy and tools for developing digital competences, including e-literacy, computational and critical thinking, as well as coding and knowledge of algorithms. Furthermore, for this type of improvement, strong support for teachers, trainers and other educational staff is needed. In this paper we showcase the results of a survey analysis for the subject Computing for primary education, introduced in the academic year 2015/2016 in the Republic of Macedonia. The survey was conducted on a large sample of over 700 schoolteachers who had been teaching the subject for a year during the teacher training for the upcoming year. The survey covers 5 areas: the course format, computational thinking and coding topics, previous year’s training, questions on personal development and conditions for realization of the course. We present and analyze the results, and propose suggestions for improvements that may be valuable for every school system that tries to introduce this topic into the curriculum. Since the survey was conducted in many cities across our country, the results analysis is done by country regions, as well as by the teaching language. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Exploring the Educational Potential of Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality: Immersive Learning, Student Engagement, and Knowledge Retention(Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Skopje, Macedonia, 2025-12); ; The integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR) technologies in education presents new opportunities for immersive and interactive learning. This paper reviews recent applications of VR/MR in educational contexts, emphasizing their impact on student engagement, cognitive development, and knowledge retention. The analysis highlights key benefits such as enhanced motivation, improved practical skills, and effective visualization of abstract content, while also acknowledging limitations including cognitive load and motion sickness. In addition to the literature review, the grounds of an experimental study are presented. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Using the BBC Micro:bit in Educational Settings: Recommendations for N. Macedonia(Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Skopje, Macedonia, 2025-12); ; Atanaskoski, ZivkoThe integration of the BBC Micro:bit into educational settings has been gaining momentum across various countries due to its potential to foster computational thinking, digital literacy, and hands-on learning. This paper examines the role of the Micro:bit in enhancing STEM education through case studies from Slovakia, Sweden, and the UK. The study explores teaching approaches, technical considerations, student engagement, pedagogical insights, challenges, and cultural contexts, offering valuable insights into the effectiveness of the BBC Micro:bit in different educational environments. Further, based on the findings, we propose a set of recommendations for N. Macedonia. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, EXPLORING COMPUTATIONAL THINKING IN EDUCATION: DEFINITIONS, PEDAGOGIES, AND INTEGRATION APPROACHES(IATED, 2024-11); ; Nowadays, many academics agree that one of the essential 21st-century skills is computational thinking (CT). This study explores the diverse meanings of CT and their evolution throughout the years. It examines the complex connections between digital literacy/competence, programming, and CT, and clarifies their differences. The fundamental ideas and abilities of CT—abstraction, algorithmic reasoning, automation, decomposition, debugging, pattern recognition, and generalization—will be at the center of our discussion. We claim that CT serves as a catalyst for developing students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills, emphasizing its importance in education. Our paper evaluates the necessity of incorporating CT into curricula while discussing how it might promote economic growth. It investigates the best pedagogical approaches to support CT and looks into ways to incorporate it easily into current curriculum. Additionally, it looks into how dependent CT is on technology and how students' access to it affects CT-oriented education. A comprehensive review of relevant studies will be conducted, examining various methods of implementing and using CT in mandatory education worldwide. Finally, three primary approaches to integrating CT skills in compulsory education curricula will be examined: as a cross-curricular topic, as a standalone subject, and by integration within other subjects. Real-world examples of CT integration in compulsory education across various countries are provided, offering insights into successful implementation strategies. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
