Kiera Shuler Elledge – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This research project employs a case study design to examine how K-6 non-computer science (CS) trained teachers can be effectively prepared to teach CS, metaphorically unmasking hidden superheroes in the education system. Grounded in the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, the study also integrates Bandura's Theory of…

Hongliang Ma; Yuhan Dong; Bin Jing; Yu Zeng; Jinmei Sun – International Journal of STEM Education, 2025
Background: With the growing emphasis on computer science (CS) education in K-12 schools, numerous professional development (PD) programs for in-service CS teachers (CS-PD) have been implemented over the past decades. However, there is a lack of systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of these CS-PD programs. To address…

Rich, Peter Jacob; Jones, Brian Lindley; Belikov, Olga; Yoshikawa, Emily; Perkins, McKay – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2017
STEM, the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics is increasingly being promoted in elementary education. However, elementary educators are largely untrained in the 21st century skills of computing (a subset of technology) and engineering. The purpose of this study was to better understand elementary teachers'…
