Abstract:
As Computer Science continues to shape our world, it's essential to foster curiosity and critical thinking skills in students to prepare them for an ever-evolving digital landscape. This article explores innovative approaches to Computer Science Education that prioritize curiosity and critical thinking, including project-based learning, inquiry-based learning, and collaborative learning. Through a review of existing research and case studies of successful implementation, we examine the impact of these approaches on student learning outcomes and engagement. Our findings highlight the potential for these innovations to enhance student motivation, creativity, and problem-solving skills, ultimately preparing them for success in an increasingly complex and technology-driven world. This article provides Educators and Policy-makers with practical strategies and insights to inform the development of Computer Science Education programs that nurture curiosity and critical thinking.
