DESCRIPTION:Please sign up @ https://www.raspberrypi.org/computing-educati
 on-research-online-seminars/\n\nProgramming in primary schools presents a 
 lot of opportunities\, such as the chance to promote positive attitudes to
 wards computer science at an early stage. At the same time\, educators nee
 d to give corrective feedback that can enhance learning\, but might also r
 educe positive emotions. In this seminar\, we will therefore focus on stra
 tegies for giving appropriate feedback. We present some findings of our su
 rvey conducted with experienced teachers and the results of our own worksh
 ops where we evaluated different feedback options and the children’s opi
 nions on them. By this\, we want to describe not only the content of the f
 eedback but also discuss encouraging ways of giving it. Another strategy t
 o support the process of giving feedback is using automated analysis tools
 . We therefore show the Litterbox tool that detects bug patterns\, smells\
 , and so-called perfumes in Scratch and mBlock code.\n\nSpeaker: \n\nLuisa
  Greifenstein did her degree in primary school education and in media comp
 uter science. She now connects her two interests in the project “primary
 ::programming” at the University of Passau\, Germany\, where she is curr
 ently doing her PhD. Luisa is keen on finding encouraging ways of giving c
 orrective feedback and thereby engaging children in programming. She has g
 iven multiple workshops and courses for primary school children on creativ
 e physical computing and first software programming. In all this\, she see
 ks to include the educational inspiration received from her Montessori dip
 loma course.\n
