Industry’s push for computer science education: Is computer science really for all?
Policy Futures in Education, 2022Recent research on Computer Science (CS) has largely found that inequities in access persist. In 2016, President Obama announced the Computer Science for All initiative, recognizing that CS is a “new” basic skill in K-12 schools and over US$4 billion was pledged to Computer Science education (CSEd) initiatives.

Preparing STEM Teachers to offer New Mexico Computer Science for All [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2017 ACM SIGCSE Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education, 2017 In this paper, we describe a new teacher professional development program, New Mexico Computer Science for All (NM-CSforAll), that prepares high school science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) teachers to serve as learning coaches / teaching assistants for a dual credit Computer Science (CS) course. The dual credit course for students follows a

It's All In The Mix: Leveraging food to increase students' persistence in Computer Science [PDF]
2015 Research in Equity and Sustained Participation in Engineering, Computing, and Technology (RESPECT), 2015 Computer Science courses seek to hone students' computational algorithmic thinking (CAT) capabilities. Oftentimes, students fail to recognize the connection between CAT in everyday life and its application in academic settings. One context in which people have a great deal of experience and expertise engaging in the design, implementation, and ...

Computation in cognitive science: it is not all about Turing-equivalent computation
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A, 2010Abstract It is sometimes suggested that the history of computation in cognitive science is one in which the formal apparatus of Turing-equivalent computation, or effective computability, was exported from mathematical logic to ever wider areas of cognitive science and its environs. This paper, however, indicates some respects in which this suggestion

Pedagogy that Supports Computer Science for All
ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2019The Computer Science (CS) for All movement has taken hold of the United States and CS education is rapidly expanding across nations throughout the world. Yet, as curricula and professional development opportunities are developed, key questions remain about what “works” for engaging youth in CS education, especially those who are historically ...

Educational Robotics for Creating Effective Computer Science Learning for All
2021President Obama's initiative, “computer science for all,” has been a rallying slogan for promoting computer science in K-12 education. Although the participation of people of color in computer science (CS) has increased in the past several years, it is still drastically low and does not reflect the real picture of our society. This chapter explores how

Proceedings of the 2017 ACM SIGCSE Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education, 2017
Many feel K-12 computer science requires a large tech budget, a classroom full of laptops, tablets or robots, and an experienced tech teacher. This belief is not unfounded as the majority of online computer science teaching materials require modern technology and Internet connectivity, making these tools inaccessible to the low-tech classroom.

Proceeding of the 44th ACM technical symposium on Computer science education, 2013
Computing pervades students' academic and personal lives. Increasingly the core concepts of computational thinking are required for success in other fields. Should CS Principles become a general education requirement for all freshmen? This BOF will provide a platform for the discussion of whether or not the various courses taught as CS-0, Introduction ...

Digital technology teachers' perceptions of computer science: It is not all about programming
2014 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE) Proceedings, 2014A considerable body of research examines people's perceptions of the nature of science. There is also extensive research about what those perceptions are for teachers, and what strategies can be used to change them. There is, however, very little information about what these perceptions may be in the case of computer science.

A unified approach to introductory computer science
Proceedings of the 14th annual ACM SIGCSE conference on Innovation and technology in computer science education, 2009We discuss our recent experience offering a single introductory computer science course for all students with no prior computer science coursework. The new course interleaves material from traditional CS0 and CS1 courses, providing all students with both a broad overview and an appreciation for the algorithmic foundations of the discipline of computer ...
