Adriana Villavicencio; Wendy Martin; Cheri Fancsali; Maya Israel – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2025
Because of the rapid expansion of computer science (CS) education, educational leaders must consider how to recruit, prepare, and support teachers who typically do not have a background in CS. This study examines two professional development (PD) approaches used to introduce CS education to non-CS teachers. We aim to understand if/how each model…

Aoife Hennessy; Kieran Murphy – Irish Educational Studies, 2025
The importance of student engagement is long recognised. Students who are more engaged will be more motivated and inclined to complete their studies. The aim of this study is to understand barriers to engagement for first-year computing students, a cohort that traditionally have high non-progression rates. A qualitative descriptive design was…

Diana Kirk; Andrew Luxton-Reilly; Ewan Tempero – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
Objectives: Code style is an important aspect of text-based programming because programs written with good style are considered easier to understand and change and so improve the maintainability of the delivered software product. However teaching code style is complicated by the existence of many style guides and standards that contain…

Stella Xin Yin; Dion Hoe-Lian Goh; Choon Lang Quek; Zhengyuan Liu – Educational Technology & Society, 2025
With the growing popularity of computational thinking (CT) classes in K-12 schools, it is important to investigate public perceptions of these initiatives. Analyzing public discussions and opinions provides valuable insights that can inform future educational policies and reforms. In this paper, we collected questions and answers related to CT…

Giulia Toti; Lei Si; David Daniels; Matin Amoozadeh; Mohammad Amin Alipour; Guoning Chen – Discover Education, 2025
In May 2020, about 2 months after countless institutions across the world resorted to moving all their courses online in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted a survey to evaluate the impact of this transition on a group of computer science students. That first survey highlighted mostly negative effects, with students struggling to…

Meina Zhu; Cheng Wang – Computers in the Schools, 2024
This study aims to identify effective teaching strategies and challenges in computer science (CS) teaching and K-12 CS teachers' needs for professional development (PD). The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five K-12 CS teachers and eight CS instructors in higher education and analyzed using thematic analysis. The…

Paul Christian Dawkins; Kyeong Hah Roh – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2024
This article offers the construct "unitizing predicates" to name mental actions important for students' reasoning about logic. To unitize a predicate is to conceptualize (possibly complex or multipart) conditions as a single property that every example has or does not have, thereby partitioning a universal set into examples and…

Noelle Brown; Benjamin Xie; Ella Sarder; Casey Fiesler; Eliane S. Wiese – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2024
The computing education research community now has at least 40 years of published research on teaching ethics in higher education. To examine the state of our field, we present a systematic literature review of papers in the "Association for Computing Machinery" computing education venues that describe teaching ethics in higher-education…

Krystal L. Williams; Edward Dillon; Shanice Carter; Janelle Jones; Shelly Melchior – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2024
Improving equity and inclusion for underrepresented groups in the field of Computer Science (CS) has garnered much attention. In particular, there is a long-standing need for diversity efforts that center on the experiences of Black women, and specific actions to increase their representation--especially given the biases that they often encounter…

Whalley, Jacqueline; Settle, Amber; Luxton-Reilly, Andrew – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2023
Debugging is a core skill required by programmers, yet we know little about how to effectively teach the process of debugging. The challenges of learning debugging are compounded for novices who lack experience and are still learning the tools they need to program effectively. In this work, we report a case study in which we used a think-aloud…

Cheri Fancsali; June Mark; Janice Lee – Research Alliance for New York City Schools, 2025
This brief examines the New York City Public Schools' (NYCPS) Computer Science for All (CS4All) initiative's efforts to build teacher capacity and support the implementation of computer science (CS) education across K-12 classrooms. The initiative, launched in 2015, aimed to deliver high-quality CS education to all students by providing robust…

Shana V. White; Sonia Koshy; Allison Scott – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2025
To address racial and gender inequality in K-12 computer science (CS) education, there needs to be a multi-pronged approach. In addition to curricula that are culturally responsive and sustaining inclusive, K-12 CS teachers need to be equipped to implement the curriculum, pedagogy, and instruction to mitigate the racial and gender gaps in…
