Transcript: Speaker 1 People come into the dev role field from an education background and kind of bring new stuff with them and help widen our horizons. But I do think, and I gave a dev role, can talk about this in 2019, actually, that we really should stop just doing that wheel reinventing and just like accept that we're educators and There is best practice for educators and actually we should be engaging with that before we start. My dev role con 2019 talk, for example, was about all was a researcher Ada Kim who had looked at all of like the online coding tutorial platforms like Treehouse and Code Academy and Microsoft Learn and had basically rated them on their like pedagogy approach and the validity of that and found a lot of them very wanting. And that doesn't need to be that way because there's a lot of body of science about this computer science education itself is, you know, especially for younger folks, is still in early Stages.

Transcript: Speaker 1 It's rating rapidly. There's a lot of, you know, lots of countries have bought in new curriculums and it's been more or less successful for various reasons. And so it's not a perfected science by any means, but there's still a lot of stuff there that, you know, we should definitely be drawing on. So in terms of drawing on that, I think the easiest way to do it is, you know, without understanding any of the foundations about getting really deep into learning sciences, have a look At some of the pedagogy approach, I don't know if that's the correct word, pedagogy that teachers are using in classrooms, bearing your mind again that these are the kids and so they Will need adapting for your work. But just think about like, you know, why are these the techniques are using and do they apply to me. So again, a really great resource for this is Raspberry Pi is pedagogy quick reads. And one in particular that I think is just university applicable to like everyone teaching coding concepts is the semantic wave, which is one of the pedagogies of like, you're introducing A new word, a new term, a new concept. What is the process that people go through the semantic wave between like understanding the meaning and the semantics of that word and incorporating it into their knowledge. And that is like, you know, we all introduce new concepts for technology, we're doing like, you know, a new, whether we're advocating for a library in a program language is probably A concept or you know, your company's got a completely novel API or something like that. There will be new concepts. And so the semantic wave is universally applicable and is a technique that you can use to structure your content immediately, you just pick up that sheet and you go. And there's loads of like things like that. Well, you know, like, they're not, you know, some of them are addressing this or passing this problems as addressing this book and you could probably implement passing problems from The recommendations in this book. But just as a, you know, blunt instrument to get started, the Raspberry Pi pedagogy quick reads, you will find something useful in there for sure. Speaker 2 Thank you.
