Fifth term aims for a more practical training course by combining online and schooling sessions
Castalia Co., Ltd. (Castalia, registered headquarters: Nagano, Japan / headquarters: Tokyo, Japan, CEO: Satoshi Yamawaki) will start the solicitation of students of the fifth term (second semester of AY2018) of “CodeEdu/”, a programming educator training course. Solicitation starts from October 5. The course is open to high school graduates and above, and the lectures are done in Japanese. Schooling sessions will take place in Tokyo and Osaka.
“CodeEdu/” is a programming educator training program targeting people who undertake programming education for children. Through studying online and three schooling sessions, students acquire important knowledge and concepts of programming education, as well as programming skills and its education method. Furthermore, they nurture practical skills through a series of exercises that involves the planning, execution, and analysis of a workshop for children.
The actual courses include “Introduction to Programming Education” focusing on existing circumstances and essential concepts of programming education, “Introductory Programming” to acquire programming skills, “Development of Programming Educational Materials” in which students learn about methods of developing educational materials for use in programming education, “Class Analysis/Evaluation” to analyze programming education classes and learn the method of evaluation in a practical manner, and “Catering to Children’s Needs” dedicated to methods to children with needs of special support.
Since its launch in Fall 2016, we have had over 100 students from across Japan. Based on the actual results of the previous terms, we have revised the curriculum upon soliciting students for the fifth term.
