Abstract | The purpose of the study is to empower the next generation of Computer Science experts by helping high school students comprehend complex programming concepts and solve challenging tasks in programming competitions. The research aims to enhance the pedagogy and the teaching practice of competitive programming education by introducing and evaluating a framework as a training system and utilising a code-evaluation platform within the Cyprus Olympiad in Informatics (COI) (Eracleous et al., 2019). The proposed COI framework intends to redefine the teaching and learning processes within its discipline. The research focuses on four critical pillars: the pedagogical model of a learning community, the instructional strategy of Problem-Based Learning (PBL), mental models and strategies, and online technologies. In addition, the project introduces Michanicos, a code-evaluation platform that enables real-time code assessment and facilitates the application of the framework’s scope in practice. |
