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…

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…

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…
