Since computers are already involved in everyday activities and have increased in importance for problem-solving at home and at work, justification exists for universal computer literacy. Ethical considerations regarding production and consumption of computer services are being raised. (JN)

This paper presents an integrated research and teaching model that has resulted from an NSF-funded effort to introduce results of current Machine Learning research into the engineering and computer science curriculum at the University of Central Florida (UCF). While in-depth exposure to current topics in Machine Learning has traditionally occurred…

The pattern of making use of the data processing (DP) technology in Latin America is divided into four phases; (1) a first phase where a whole generation of machines is practically ignored, (2) a second stage where only small units were employed, (3) a "status quo" where reasonably full use of the available systems is being reached for…

As the entry-level information technology jobs could be easily outsourced offshore, the demand for U.S. employees who are innovative and productive in information technology (IT) project design, development, and management is growing among U.S. companies. This controlled experiment presents how a model of integrating students' intelligence…

The material presents: (1) an overview of the Regional Conferences (2) a paper on Mathematics, Microelectronics, and American Education (F. James Rutherford and Joseph M. Dasbach), and (3) individual presentations on the Regional Meetings in Berkeley, Chicago, Newton, Massachusetts, and Washington, D.C. The meetings were designed to encourage…

Part A contains general comments on various aspects of computer science education, particularly that for the mass. Part B describes some of the concrete examples carried out successfully. (Author)

This document promotes computer symbolic mathematics and computer algebra as ideal instructional materials for mathematics, science, and engineering students. Further, computer algebra is viewed as appropriate for all students throughout the mathematics curriculum, by serving a vast area of mutual reinforcement and cross-motivation between…

Discusses the reasons why the microcomputer revolution merits attention within the social studies curriculum. Stresses the skills social studies must help develop for students to deal with the impact of computer operations. (TRS)

Explains the planning and research involved in developing a new extension curriculum in computer science to fit the needs of the University of California at Irvine and the community it serves. (JF)

Presents three approaches to teaching the use of a microprocessor: (1) a "generic" device on paper; (2) a "conglomeration" device, surveying a number of real products; and (3) the "how" course which covers a small number of actual but related microprocessors. (CT)

These proceedings contain the papers of the International Conference e-Learning 2016, which was organised by the International Association for Development of the Information Society, 1-3 July, 2016. This conference is part of the Multi Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems 2016, 1-4 July. The e-Learning (EL) 2016 conference aims…

Traditionally, universities focus primarily on instructionist teaching. Such an understanding has been criticized from theoretical and practical points of view. We believe that "socio-cultural theories of learning" and the concepts of "social capital" and "social creativity" hold considerable promise as a theoretical…

Analysis of the curriculum and hardware needs for data processing instruction in Iowa was undertaken in order to prepare a sample curriculum and equipment recommendations for instruction in postsecondary institutions, as well as suggestions for a K-12 computer literacy program. More than 60 publications on computer-related topics and K-12 computer…

The first of information science is in something of a jumble, because there is no universally accepted definition of the field, much less an agreement on what the core information is or what curriculum should be followed. Information science teachers must decide what kind of graduate they are trying to turn out in order to be competitive with…

Argues that education in computer science in secondary schools has not kept pace with curriculum developments for college programs. Suggests definitions to be agreed upon and ways to close the gap between secondary and college programs. (PK)
