Vrieler, Tina; Salminen-Karlsson, Minna – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2022
The aim of this conceptual article is to provide a framework and a lens for educators in diversifying and making CS education more inclusive. In this article, we conceptualize the notion of computer science capital (CSC), which extends Bourdieu's sociological theory of capital and Archer et al.'s work on "science capital." The CSC…

Luse, Andy; Rursch, Julie A.; Jacobson, Doug – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2014
In the United States, the number of students entering into and completing degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) areas has declined significantly over the past decade. Although modest increases have been shown in enrollments in computer-related majors in the past 4 years, the prediction is that even in 3 to 4 years…
