Hui-Zhi Hu; Li-Guo Zhang; Jia-Hua Zhang; Di Zhang; Jia-Rui Xie – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Computer Science (CS) is a vital subject in K-12 education, and acquiring proficiency in CS is essential for nurturing talent. However, current teaching practices often rely on standardized tests to evaluate academic performance, which may not offer a comprehensive and multidimensional assessment of students' competency in learning CS.…

Joseph Crifo – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The present study was conducted to determine how implementing computational thinking (via a proxy in AP Computer Science Principles) into a school's curriculum impacted student proficiency rates on the New York State Geometry Regents. Recent research has suggested that computational thinking is a skill that transcends specific content areas and…

Jean J. Ryoo; Michelle Choi; Wei Wei; Jacqualyn Blizzard-Caron; Ryan Clarke; Lillian Kohn; Daniel Voloch – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2025
This paper explores how minoritized Computer Science (CS) students articulate their sense of critical agency to positively impact the world around them, both for today and the future, when participating in a Girls Who Code program focused on ethics, equity, and underrepresentation in computing. Observations, interviews, and surveys were conducted…

Bass, Eric; De Jong, David – International Journal of Educational Leadership Preparation, 2020
Computer science education has seen a large national push to be included in the K-12 curriculum (Fluck, Webb, Cox, Angeli, Malyn-Smith, Voogt, & Zagami, 2016; Theresa Avancena & Nishihara, 2014; Veletsianos, Beth, Lin, & Russell, 2016; Yadav, Gretter, Hambrusch, & Sands, 2016). Students are leaving schools and entering an economy…

Ivy, Jessica; Kelley, Robert; Cook, Kristin; Thomas, Kevin – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2020
Although many practicing teachers have not experienced teacher preparation programs that teach cyber security (Pusely & Sadera, 2011) or are familiar with cyber principles (Authors), embedding these ideas into instruction in a variety of content areas is essential for promoting cyber literacy and citizenship. This study explores a professional…

Mallios, Nikolaos; Vassilakopoulos, Michael Gr. – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2015
One of the most intriguing objectives when teaching computer science in mid-adolescence high school students is attracting and mainly maintaining their concentration within the limits of the class. A number of theories have been proposed and numerous methodologies have been applied, aiming to assist in the implementation of a personalized learning…

Udvaros, József; Gubán, Miklós – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2016
The world all around us is rapidly developing. We are witnessing the rapid evolution of technology and communication. This means new challenges and responsibilities to future strategies and attitudes. Today's operating systems and development environments apply the principle of OOP; therefore today's developments are inconceivable without the…

Khenner, Evgeniy; Semakin, Igor – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2014
This article deals with some aspects of studying Informatics in Russian schools. Those aspects are part of the "third dimension" of the Darmstadt model (they are also projected on the other two dimensions of this model) and include evolution of the subject, regulatory norms conforming to the Federal Educational Standards, the learning…

Webb, Heidi Cornelia – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Advances in technology have caused high schools to update their computer science curricula; however there has been little analogous attention to technology-related education in middle schools. With respect to computer-related knowledge and skills, middle school students are at a critical phase in life, exploring individualized education options…

Bell, Tim; Andreae, Peter; Robins, Anthony – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2014
For many years computing in New Zealand schools was focused on teaching students how to use computers, and there was little opportunity for students to learn about programming and computer science as formal subjects. In this article we review a series of initiatives that occurred from 2007 to 2009 that led to programming and computer science being…

Armoni, Michal – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2011
Teaching computer science (CS) in high schools, rather than just programming or even computer literacy, is important as a means of introducing students to the true nature of CS, and enhancing their problem-solving skills. Since teachers are the key to the success of any high school educational initiative, any discussion of high school programs…

Kolikant, Yifat Ben-David; Ben-Ari, Mordechai – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2008
We explain certain learning difficulties in computer science education as resulting from a clash between the students' culture as computer users and the professional computing culture. We propose the concept of fertile zones of cultural encounter as a way of overcoming these learning difficulties. This pedagogical approach aims to bridge the gap…

Bouhnik, Dan; Giat, Yahel – Journal of Information Technology Education, 2009
The rapid changes in information technology in recent years have rendered current high school curricula unable to cope with student needs. In consequence, students do not possess the proper skills required in today's information era. Specifically, many students lack the skills to search efficiently for information. Moreover, even when abundant…
