The Tale of an Intended CS Curriculum for 4th Graders, The Case of Abstraction
Page 623
Abstract
The Israeli CS curriculum for elementary schools was announced in 2016 and it is currently being implemented in several hundreds of schools. We study the evolution of this curriculum, from the vision of the policymakers to the students in the classrooms. Here we focus on the evolution of the idea of abstraction between the ideal intended curriculum, as expressed in the vision of the policymakers, and the written formal curriculum. We show a gap even between these two first phases regarding the important CS idea of abstraction.
