Abstract

This chapter deals with the teaching experience that the students enrolled in the Methods of Teaching Computer Science (MTCS) course gain before becoming computer science (CS) teachers. Three frameworks in which the prospective CS teachers gain their first teaching experience are presented: (1) The practicum, which takes place in high school, after one or two semesters of learning the MTCS course; (2) CS teacher training within the Professional Development School (PDS) collaboration framework; and (3) a tutoring framework that can be integrated in the MTCS course. We also present activities that can be facilitated in the MTCS course, in which the students deal with and analyze teaching scenarios taken from the practicum of other prospective CS teachers.
