Computer science (CS) majors are in high demand and account for a large part of national computer and information technology job market applicants. Employment in this sector is projected to grow 12% between 2018 and 2028, which is faster than the average of all other occupations. Published data are available on traditional non-computer…

Tomkin, Jonathan H.; West, Matthew; Herman, Geoffrey L. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2018
We present a methodological improvement for calculating Grade Point Averages (GPAs). Heterogeneity in grading between courses systematically biases observed GPAs for individual students: the GPA observed depends on course selection. We show how a logistic model can account for course selection by simulating how every student in a sample would…

Pappas, Ilias O.; Giannakos, Michail N.; Jaccheri, Letizia; Sampson, Demetrios G. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2017
This study uses complexity theory to understand the causal patterns of factors that stimulate students' intention to continue studies in computer science (CS). To this end, it identifies gains and barriers as essential factors in CS education, including motivation and learning performance, and proposes a conceptual model along with research…
