Description
Voicing Code in STEM: A New Approach to Coding in Classrooms This book explores the relationship between coding and human experience, offering a fresh perspective on how to teach coding in schools. By building on Mikhail Bakhtin's ideas, the authors argue that coding can be seen as "voicing computational utterances" rather than just building technological artifacts. The authors examine different ways of framing coding as voicing, using empirical chapters to illustrate their theoretical stance. This approach has implications for how we think about coding in education and how it can be used to promote a more nuanced understanding of technology and its role in society. Through this new lens, the authors aim to provide a more comprehensive understanding of coding and its place in the classroom.
