Jonathan Liu; Seth Poulsen; Erica Goodwin; Hongxuan Chen; Grace Williams; Yael Gertner; Diana Franklin – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
Algorithm design is a vital skill developed in most undergraduate Computer Science (CS) programs, but few research studies focus on pedagogy related to algorithms coursework. To understand the work that has been done in the area, we present a systematic survey and literature review of CS Education studies. We search for research that is both…
