A Critical Crossroads for Computer Science for All
2017This chapter builds upon research findings that identified pernicious belief systems and structural inequalities that limit opportunities for students of color and females to have access to computer science learning opportunities (Margolis, Estrella, Goode, Holme, & Nao, 2008).

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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

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.

Preparing STEM Teachers to offer New Mexico Computer Science for All
Proceedings of the 2017 ACM SIGCSE Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education, 2017In 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

Journal of Special Education Technology
Although computational thinking (CT) and computer science (CS) skills are important for all students, less attention exists in research and practice for CT and CS and students with disabilities. Researchers conducted a systematic review of the literature following the PRISMA protocol to examine the current state of literature regarding CT and/or CS ...

This study provides the first causal analysis of the impact of expanding Computer Science (CS) education in U.S. K-12 schools on students' choice of college major and early career outcomes. Utilizing rich longitudinal data from Maryland, we exploit variation from the staggered rollout of CS course offerings across high schools.

Towards the synthetic all-optical computer: science fiction or reality?
J. Mater. Chem., 2004The global race for the optically integrated photonic chip is driven by the prospective that miniaturization of optical devices and enhanced chip functionality may revolutionize the manufacture of optical circuits, and the futuristic dream of the all-optical computer may come true.
