Tiivistelmä
Technology education is the new computer literacy and a key component in the success of modern society. Despite the growing opportunities, there are significant challenges in learning. The study aims to discover the best practices for delivering tech education to non-technical students. The research is mainly conducted for the non-profit organisation Xes, founded initially as Helsinki Entrepreneurship Society in Haaga-Helia in 2018.
Qualitative methods are selected for collecting and analysing the data. The methods are case study, action research and content analysis. Also, there is a justification for the choice of methods. After reducing, classifying and displaying the information gathered from semi- structured interviews, a concept is derived for the organisation.
The concept is Xes CodeCamp based on the adopted pedagogical models from HundrED and 42 Schools. CC is a platform for peer to peer project-based learning powered by the Xes mentors. There is a recommendation to integrate the platform with the school.
