Teaching: People to People – About People A Plea for the Historic and Human View

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 3422))

Abstract

The importance of the historical and human aspects of the didactics of informatics is discussed. The threefold human aspects of teaching: by, for and about people is explored. Using the example of the notion of the procedure, the potential of the historical discussion is investigated. A strengthening of the historical and human view is required both in university research and in the curricula of the informatics education at both secondary and university levels.
