Manuel B. Garcia – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
The global shortage of skilled programmers remains a persistent challenge. High dropout rates in introductory programming courses pose a significant obstacle to graduation. Previous studies highlighted learning difficulties in programming students, but their specific weaknesses remained unclear. This gap exists due to the predominant focus on the…

Marwan, Samiha; Price, Thomas W. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
Novice programmers often struggle on assignments, and timely help, such as a hint on what to do next, can help students continue to progress and learn, rather than giving up. However, in large programming classrooms, it is hard for instructors to provide such real-time support for every student. Researchers have, therefore, put tremendous effort…

Gayithri Jayathirtha; Gail Chapman; Joanna Goode – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2025
We report findings from qualitatively analyzing audio recordings and teacher-generated products from a two-day in-person collaborative design (co-design) workshop where nine experienced high school CS teachers revised parts of an existing introductory high school program toward justice. In response to our research question of how teachers…

Kiliç, Servet; Çakiroglu, Ünal – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2023
Since teaching robotics in schools is still new for teachers, studies on how to integrate computational thinking concepts in robotics courses are still rare. In this direction, teacher training sessions for teaching robotics should be visited. Accordingly, in this exploratory case study, a professional development program for teachers was…

Karlin, Michael; Ottenbreit-Leftwich, Anne; Liao, Yin-Chan – Computer Science Education, 2023
Background: Despite ongoing calls for prioritizing K-12 computer science (CS) education, an enduring gender gap exists. Objective: We explored one high school CS program where female participation was consistently higher than state averages to better understand how the program was developed. Method: Using a case study method, data were collected…

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…

Lunn, Stephanie; Samary, Maíra Marques; Hambrusch, Susanne; Yadav, Aman – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2022
Computer science education (CSEd) is a growing interdisciplinary area that continues to gain momentum from students, researchers, and educators. Yet, there are few formal programs or degree options for students interested in pursuing graduate work in CSEd. This article explores the existing state of CSEd in the United States (U.S.) through…

Stoker, Geoff; Clark, Ulku; Vanajakumari, Manoj; Wetherill, William – Information Systems Education Journal, 2021
The United States, along with the rest of the developed world, is experiencing a shortage of cybersecurity talent in the workforce ((ISC)[superscript 2], 2019). Among the strategies being encouraged and used to close this workforce gap are work-based learning programs like cybersecurity apprenticeships. Well-designed apprenticeships can provide a…

Contribution: A roadmap is provided for building a quantum engineering education program to satisfy U.S. national and international workforce needs. Background: The rapidly growing quantum information science and engineering (QISE) industry will require both quantum-aware and quantum-proficient engineers at the bachelor's level. Research Question:…

Clark, Ulku; Stoker, Geoff; Vetter, Ron – Information Systems Education Journal, 2020
The rising number and cost of cybersecurity attacks justifies continued strong interest in the National Security Agency (NSA) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) jointly sponsored program for National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense (CAE-CD). After briefly outlining the current state of the cybersecurity challenge, this…

Casarosa, Vittore; Ruggieri, Salvatore; Salvatori, Enrica; Simi, Maria; Turbanti, Simona – Education for Information, 2020
Interdisciplinarity is becoming increasingly important in education. With the rapidly evolving job market, an interdisciplinary education can prepare students for the flexibility and broad knowledge base required to adapt. At the University of Pisa, we recognized the value of an interdisciplinary educational environment during our participation in…
