Designing learning experiences with the THINKER Framework 1: UNIVERSITY COLLEGE DUBLIN, Ireland; 2: KMOP, Greece; 3: CYPRUS PEDAGOGICAL INSTITUTE, Cyprus; 4: UNIVERSITY OF NICOSIA, Cyprus; 5: UNIVERSITY of ZAGREB, Croatia; 6: CARDET; 7: RDPSEA, Greece Europe faces persistent challenges in achieving digital-skills targets and addressing gender imbalance across ICT fields. Informatics education remains uneven in curriculum quality, pedagogy, and assessment practices. THINKER proposes a transformative, pan-European model that supports authentic, gender-inclusive, and evidence-based approaches to teaching and assessing informatics in upper-primary and lower-secondary education. This presentation immerses participants in the THINKER pedagogical framework, which integrates authentic learning, computational thinking, inquiry-based design, TPACK, and gender-inclusive teaching principles. Participants will explore practical examples drawn from project activities across more than 100 schools and early teacher-training pathways. This presentation is ideal for teachers, initial teacher-education providers, curriculum designers, digital-skills programme leads, researchers, and policymakers. | |
