Mike Karlin; Cristina Stephany; Mahya Minaiy; Swati Mehta; Marcia Reed; Desiderio Acosta; Claudia Garcia-Valles; Christine Kim; Adan Gonzalez; Sarah Wong – Journal of Technology Education, 2024
While increasing emphasis has been placed on computer science (CS) and computational thinking (CT) little is known about these topics in elementary classrooms. Significant equity gaps exist within CS/CT at the elementary level, with a major contributor being the lack of highly qualified CS/CT elementary teachers. Professional development (PD) for…

Investigating the Impact of Introducing Pair Programming to Primary Computing Education on Female Pupils' Attitudes towards Computing
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
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…

Computer Science in Rural California: Impact Study Findings
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Robin Martin – Grantee Submission, 2025
Access to high-quality computer science education remains uneven across the United States, with rural schools facing persistent barriers including limited staffing, outdated infrastructure, and constrained professional development opportunities (Gutierrez & Terrones, 2023; Showalter et al., 2019). Computer Science in Rural California (branded…

Cervera, Núria; Diago, Pascual D.; Orcos, Lara; Yáñez, Dionisio F. – Education Sciences, 2020
Educational robotics are commonly present in kindergarten and primary school classrooms, particularly Bee-bot. Its ease of use allows the introduction of computer programming to young children in educational contexts from a science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) perspective. Despite this rise, there are still few…
