Mitglied der Nachwuchsgruppe Neuro-kognitive Plastizität
Katerina Tsarava ist seit Oktober 2016 als wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin in der Nachwuchsgruppe Neuro-kognitive Plastizität tätig. In ihrer Doktorarbeit beschäftigt sie sich mit kognitiven Korrelaten und der Bewertung von Computational Thinking sowie der Gestaltung und Bewertung eines Curriculums für Computational Thinking. In diesem Zusammenhang hat sie einen Computational Thinking-Kurs mit dem Titel „Verstehen wie Computer denken“ entwickelt, der darauf abzielt, Computational Thinking durch unplugged- und plugged-in Aktivitäten zu trainieren. Seit April 2019 arbeitet Katerina Tsarava außerdem im Projekt „Programmieren zur Förderung von Computational Thinking durch Spielen & Gestalten“, das von der Hector Stiftung II gefördert wird. Gleichzeitig arbeitet sie seit Oktober 2016 im BMBF-geförderten Projekt LISA.
Katerina Tsarava studierte Angewandte Informatik (Bachelor) an der University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Griechenland). Im Jahr 2016 schloss sie ihr Studium an der Aristoteles University of Thessaloniki mit einem Master in Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien in der Bildung ab. Seit 2014 besitzt sie ein Zertifikat für pädagogische Kompetenz. 2018 nahm sie mit ihren lebensgroßen Brettspielen „Krabben & Schildkröten“ am 6. Internationalen Lernspielwettbewerb teil, wo sie den 1. Preis in der Kategorie der nicht-digitalen Spiele und den gemeinsamen Gesamtpreis des Wettbewerbs gewann.
