Description of the research topic:

Syllabus
The analyses of the effectiveness of approaches and methods applied in computer problem-solving and in teaching infor-matics. The comparison of the different typologies of meta-cognitive problem-solving approaches, the application of the approaches on the different levels of these typologies. De-veloping measuring tools and testing the effectiveness of methods applied in traditional and non-traditional program-ming environments. Testing and analyzing the different lev-els of knowledge of students and teachers of informatics in computer problem-solving on the different levels of educa-tion, from primary to tertiary education.
Applying high-mathability computer problem-solving tools and methods in the processes of teaching informatics and in other sciences and school subjects. Developing, applying, and testing the effectiveness of building and calling schema-ta and applying fast and slow thinking in computer problem-solving.
