Computer science as a foreign language substitute

Proceedings of the third SIGCSE technical symposium on Computer science education - SIGCSE '73, 1973
The world of today has a diversified opinion concerning the worth and value of the computer. For some it is a monster to be feared, while for others it is a friend to be respected. Two statements will probably best demonstrate these different points of view.

Bloom's taxonomy: A beneficial tool for learning and assessing students’ competency levels in computer programming using empirical analysis

Computer Applications in Engineering Education, 2020
Previous research on computer programming advocates that most computer science students, especially novices, lack programming competencies. The reasons given for this inadequacy is that most students lack the background knowledge, first experience of ...

Examining Language Bias in Computer Science

Proceedings of the 51st ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education, 2020
This lightning talk will discuss the current efforts to identify and analyze the possibility of language bias in documents, exams, technical interviews, and actual interviews used in computer science as contributing factors in the continued lack of participation/success of underrepresented populations in computers science despite extensive efforts to ...

Programming languages as part of core computer science

ACM SIGPLAN Notices, 2008
While the programming languages course played a key role in Curricula '68, '78, and '91, Curriculum 2001 replaced most of the content in programming languages with sections on learning to program. We argue that the need for a programming languages course has not diminished, but instead increased, especially as we move into an era of many-core computing.

The teaching of assembly language to computer science and computer engineering majors

ACM SIGCSE Bulletin, 1984
Progress in the fields of computer science and computer engineering has put considerable strain on academic departments to keep the curricula abreast of the "state of the art." This is a constant demand to modernize courses and programs. This usually takes the form of continually adding new courses, and including new material in existing courses.Our ...

The Languages of Computer Science

2018
Throughout their construction process computational artifacts are defined, specified, and described by the languages of computer science. This is one of their distinctive features. Artificial languages are employed for programming, specification, and architectural and hardware description.

Selecting languages for pedagogical tools in the computer science curriculum

ACM SIGCSE Bulletin, 1976
The selection of languages for use as pedagogical aids in the teaching of computer science is still a big issue at most universities. The rebellion against FORTRAN has given rise to numerous heirs to the throne, eg, PL/1, ALGOL, PASCAL, etc. In deciding how to resolve this issue small departments have to consider the effect the decision might have on ...
