Nitesh Kumar Jha; Plaban Kumar Bhowmik; Kaushal Kumar Bhagat – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
A majority of research in Computational Thinking (CT) mainly focuses on teaching coding to school students. However, CT involves more than just coding and includes other skills like algorithmic thinking. The current study developed an Online Inquiry-based Learning Platform for Computational Thinking (CT-ONLINQ) that follows Inquiry-Based Learning…

Sarah K. Mason; Matt Hancock; Izzy Thornton – Grantee Submission, 2024
Rural Mississippi schools often face challenges in providing equitable access to Advanced Placement (AP) courses, particularly in STEM fields. This lack of access limits opportunities for high-achieving students to pursue rigorous STEM coursework and related careers. The AP STEM program aims to improve access to AP STEM courses for high-achieving…

Dana Shaat – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
Background/Context: There were over 500,000 open computing jobs across the country in 2018, but only 35% of U.S. high schools offer computer science classes, and only 8-10% of STEM graduates study computer science (Code.org, 2018). In 2021, only 5.1% of all Bachelor's degrees conferred were in Computer and Information Sciences (IPEDS, 2018). STEM…

Decker, Adrienne; McGill, Monica M. – Education Sciences, 2019
There has been considerable investment in pre-college educational interventions for all areas of STEM (including computer science). The goal of many of these initiatives is to engage and interest students early in their educational career. In this study, a systematic literature review was undertaken to determine the demographic and program data…

Kirk, Diana; Luxton-Reilly, Andrew; Tempero, Ewan – Teaching and Learning Research Initiative, 2020
New Zealand has a shortage of skilled workers in information technology (IT). Skills relating to computer programming (e.g., software engineer, applications programmer, software tester, web developer) all appear on the 2019 Long Term Skill Shortage List published by Immigration New Zealand. In many parts of the world, demand for computing…

Vakil, Sepehr; de Royston, Maxine McKinney – Race, Ethnicity and Education, 2019
Over the past decade, abroad range of policymakers, corporations, educators, and scholars in the United States have catapulted computer science (CS) education from the sidelines to the center of K-12 public education discourse. While calls for CS education are often framed in terms of national and economic competitiveness, there is a growing…

Lakanen, Antti-Jussi; Kärkkäinen, Tommi – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2019
Short-term outreach interventions are conducted to raise young students' awareness of the computer science (CS) field. Typically, these interventions are targeted at K--12 students, attempting to encourage them to study CS in higher education. This study is based on a series of extra-curricular outreach events that introduced students to the…

Davies, Peter; Davies, Neil M.; Qiu, Tian – British Educational Research Journal, 2017
We estimated the effects of an intervention which provided information about graduate wages to 5593 students in England, using a blinded cluster randomised controlled trial in 50 schools (registration: AEARCTR-0000468). Our primary outcome was students' choice of A-level subjects at age 16. We also recorded the students' expectations of future…

Pei, Christina; Brady, Corey; Wilensky, Uri J. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
To address a need for a more computationally literate population, we need to better understand the processes by which students engage with computer science. We thus designed a pilot study to explore how students come to identify with computer science. Specifically, how does engaging in making and take-apart activities impact students' sense of…
