Burgiel, Heidi; Sadler, Philip M.; Sonnert, Gerhard – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2020
The number of computer science (CS) courses has been dramatically expanding in U.S. high schools (HS). In comparison with well-established courses in mathematics and science, little is known about how the decisions made by HS CS teachers regarding how and what to teach impact student performance later in introductory college CS courses. Drawing on…
