DigiMedia researcher, Filipe T. Moreira, was invited to join a panel of experts at the event “Matemática com vida: Different Views on Computational Thinking” which took place at the University of Aveiro on 24th of September and 1st of October.
In a hybrid format, the event closing panel included Filipe T. Moreira (DigiMedia member and Professor at Polytechnic of Guarda), Carlos Albuquerque (Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon), João Torres (CCTIC/CIEF ESE/Polytechnic of Setúbal) and José Miguel Sousa (Regional Secretariat of Education, Science and Technology of the Autonomous Region of Madeira). This panel entitled “Computational Thinking in Education: what sense does it make and what skills does it promote?” was moderated by Margarida Pinheiro (CIDTFF, ISCA-UA, University of Aveiro).
The panel aimed to contribute to the debate on this topic, clarifying the sense it makes to talk about Computational Thinking in Mathematics, its transferability to other disciplines, as well as the skills it promotes in the development of more autonomous and digitally critical citizens.
This Meeting was part of the ‘Labs Convida’ section of the larger initiative ‘Labs Com Vida’, taking advantage of the synergies of lem@tic – Mathematics Education Laboratory – and LabDCT – Science and Technology Didactics Laboratory, functional structures of the Research Center for Didactics and Technology in Training of Trainers of the University of Aveiro (CIDTFF).
