Orly Barzilai; Sofia Sherman; Moshe Leiba; Hadar Spiegel – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2024
Data Structures and Algorithms (DS) is a basic computer science course that is a prerequisite for taking advanced information systems (IS) curriculum courses. The course aims to teach students how to analyze a problem, design a solution, and implement it using pseudocode to construct knowledge and develop the necessary skills for algorithmic…

Sajjanhar, Atul; Faulkner, Julie – Education and Information Technologies, 2019
In this study, we gauge the perceptions of novice computer programmers about Second Life (SL) as a digital learning environment for concept understanding in computer programming. SL is chosen as the learning environment because it offers, within a constructivist frame, the use of learner-centered pedagogies for designing curriculum. We adopt a…

Nonye Alozie; Patrik Lundh; Hui Yang; Caroline E. Parker – National Comprehensive Center, 2021
This is the second of three whitepapers on designing curricula for diversity. It provides the step-by-step process for using the Equity and Inclusion for Curriculum Design (EI-CD). Additionally, it describes how the framework can be used to design and adapt STEM+CS [science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and computer science] curriculum…

Biddy, Quentin; Chakarov, Alexandra Gendreau; Bush, Jeffrey; Elliott, Colin Hennessy; Jacobs, Jennifer; Recker, Mimi; Sumner, Tamara; Penuel, William – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2021
This article describes a professional development (PD) model, the CT-Integration Cycle, that supports teachers in learning to integrate computational thinking (CT) and computer science principles into their middle school science and STEM instruction. The PD model outlined here includes collaborative design (codesign; Voogt et al., 2015) of…

Rich, Kathryn M.; Yadav, Aman; Schwarz, Christina V. – Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 2019
In order to create professional development experiences, curriculum materials, and policies that support elementary school teachers to embed computational thinking (CT) in their teaching, researchers and teacher educators must understand ways teachers see CT as connecting to their classroom practices. We interviewed 12 elementary school teachers,…

Schwieger, Dana; Surendran, Ken – Information Systems Education Journal, 2013
One of the core courses in the IS2010 Model Curriculum Guideline is "IS Strategy, Management and Acquisition" ("ISMA"). The authors redesigned their pre-IS2010 model Information Technology Management (ITM) course to meet the skills development stated in the ISMA course. Since the IT discipline is changing rapidly, the technical…

Grover, Shuchi; Pea, Roy; Cooper, Stephen – Computer Science Education, 2015
The focus of this research was to create and test an introductory computer science course for middle school. Titled "Foundations for Advancing Computational Thinking" (FACT), the course aims to prepare and motivate middle school learners for future engagement with algorithmic problem solving. FACT was also piloted as a seven-week course…

Lawler, James P.; Molluzzo, John C.; Doshi, Vijal – Information Systems Education Journal, 2012
Social networking on the Internet continues to be a frequent avenue of communication, especially among Net Generation consumers, giving benefits both personal and professional. The benefits may be eventually hindered by issues in information gathering and sharing on social networking sites. This study evaluates the perceptions of students taking a…

Langan, Anthony Mark; Dunleavy, Peter; Fielding, Alan – Education Sciences, 2013
Many countries use national-level surveys to capture student opinions about their university experiences. It is necessary to interpret survey results in an appropriate context to inform decision-making at many levels. To provide context to national survey outcomes, we describe patterns in the ratings of science and engineering subjects from the…

Black, Mary C. – 1995
This practicum addresses the finding that college-bound high school experiential/internship students who pursued stringent secondary education programs often did not have the opportunity to participate in technology literacy elective courses, and therefore did not possess the minimal technology skills necessary for success in post-secondary…
