Saying that my goal is to become an elementary school teacher, it looks a bit like a complex dream summary. In the Webster dictionary, the term "goal" is defined as "the point that effort or movement points to, the goal or endpoint that a person is trying to achieve, the final goal." It stalled. My educational goal is more like a living thing. I define it as a journey rather than a goal.
In the early days of course creation, I had many ideas about what I should teach. I would like to teach user experience research, but the topic itself is too wide. I am trapped in so-called analysis. My goal research goal is too wide, so even if I try to solve some problems, I have not solved anything yet. With this idea I was creating an outline for weeks, so I could not complete the course. As I mentioned above, the important thing is to narrow my attention and give priority to the overall situation of what I really want to teach; center + specifically I have my own goals, I would like to limit the idea and tell me what the goal is.
I started this conversation based on my experience of teaching Pascal. I want to continue with this until today. My main goal in education is to teach mathematics through culture. Since computer science is basically applied to discrete mathematics, not a rigorous practical skill collection, my goal is to have students learn these conceptual elements. Part of my goal came from the University of Texas at Dallas. So I jointly appointed Computer Science (CS), Art, Technology, Emerging Communications (ATEC). When I discovered that many ATEC students can not tolerate computer science, this "participation" has created opportunities for me. It seems familiar to me in 1983. Then I had to tell the idea of ​​programming to those who thought that they needed to learn programming but were interested in other areas. It is the same situation to teach ATEC students to CS.
