Adrian Salguero – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Introductory computer programming (i.e. CS1) is the entry point into the computer science major at higher education institutions worldwide. It introduces foundational concepts to students that are then built upon in future courses. Computer science as a whole has struggled to attract and retain students in the major, particularly women and…

Wendy Haw; Adam Crawford – Journal of Learning Development in Higher Education, 2025
This article illustrates the potential for hackathons to serve as an innovative educational tool in addressing the underrepresentation of minority communities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Using Merced, California--a region recognised for its agricultural economy, socioeconomic disparities, and diverse…

St. Fleur, Abdah; deWinter, Jennifer – American Journal of Play, 2021
Using interview data from six Black content creators for "The Sims 4" (2014), the authors consider the politics of representation and self-expression in computer games. Black content, the authors find, consists not merely of depictions of skin tones, but also of the diverse global cultures of Black lived lives and Black…

Healy, Molly B. – Journal for Leadership and Instruction, 2023
With a runtime of 47 years, Saturday Night Live has long served as a societal mirror that captures and creates popular culture. In recent years the show has been criticized for its lack of diverse hosts, cast and staff. Out of 930 episodes only seven episodes have been hosted by an Asian host, four of whom identify as Chinese. This research…

Lachney, Michael; Yadav, Aman; Drazin, Matt; Allen, Madison C.; Babbitt, William – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2021
Despite the value that cultural experts bring to efforts to broaden the participation of racially minoritized youth in US computer science, there has been little research on supporting their knowledge of computing. This is a missed opportunity to explore the diffusion of computing knowledge across local community contexts where underrepresented…

Raffi Sarkissian – New Directions for Student Leadership, 2025
This article applies the critical media concept of organic representation to leadership studies as an analytic of how various creators in popular culture today are not just writing inclusive storytelling but, more notably, modeling new modes of production and self-presentation that are actively challenging hegemonic industry practices and larger…

Mauk, Maureen; Willett, Rebekah; Coulter, Natalie – Learning, Media and Technology, 2020
The past five or so years have been marked by a proliferation of educational initiatives, programmes, and toys designed to introduce children to coding and to develop their skills and interest in computer science. This article takes a critical approach to this movement, focusing specifically on ways dominant discourse surrounding the coding…

Alison E. Leonard; Shaundra B. Daily – International Journal of Education & the Arts, 2025
We designed, developed, and researched a virtual and in-person curriculum for how to explore computational thinking using dance choreography, focused on engaging upper elementary and middle school girls. However, this paper explores our observations and interactions with our young participants who identified as boys through a series of vignettes.…

Amanda M. Meek – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Despite high scores and abilities, girls lose interest in science and math throughout middle school. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs in the computer science research field will grow 19% by 2026; however, only 18% of the bachelor's degrees in computer science are earned by women in the United States (ComputerScience.org, 2021).…

Lyon, Louise Ann; Schatz, Colin; Toyama, Yukie; Torres, David – Community College Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
As open-access institutions serving diverse student populations, community colleges are perfect settings for broadening participation in computing efforts in higher education. The very nature of open access, however, places students with a wide variety of previous experience in the same introductory computer science classroom, intimidating the…

Qing Li; Mahnaz Moallem; Jeremy Boettinger; Qijie Cai; Michael Levi – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2025
Aiming to promote equity in computing, this study proposes an educational model that offers an alternative approach to inspire K-12 students to become interested in CS and develop their computational thinking (CT) skills. It also examines the experience of marginalized students during the COVID pandemic in a learning environment grounded in the…

Adeli Ynostroza-Ochoa; Sylvia Celedón-Pattichis; Marios S. Pattichis; Irán Tovar; Melissa Ibarra – International Journal of Multicultural Education, 2025
Although there have been efforts to broaden the participation of underrepresented students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), few studies have focused on how Latine bilingual students in rural contexts can access computer programming. The purpose of this case study is to examine how translanguaging facilitates…

Hicks, Timothy Alex; Cohen, Jonathan D.; Calandra, Brendan – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2022
This mixed methods case study presents the experience of a group of middle school students in a year-long, after-school computing programme in a large, inner-city school district in the southeastern United States. The purpose of this research is to explore informal educational strategies that are conducive at giving underrepresented minority youth…

Umar Shehzad; Jody Clarke-Midura; Mimi Recker – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2024
Objectives: The increasing demand for computing skills has led to a rapid rise in the development of new computer science (CS) curricula, many with the goal of equitably broadening the participation of underrepresented students in CS. While such initiatives are vital, factors outside of the school environment also play a role in influencing…

Katharine Childs; Sue Sentance – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2024
Gender balance in computing education is a decades-old issue that has been the focus of much previous research. In K-12, the introduction of mandatory computing education goes some way to giving all learners the opportunity to engage with computing throughout school, but a gender imbalance still persists when computer science becomes an elective…
