There has been an increase of both neurodivergent students and enrollment in Computer Science programs in higher education. These increases have brought attention to two separate challenges: neurodivergent college students struggle more compared to their neurotypical peers and many students struggle in introductory computer science courses. This…

Peer reviewedJanice Mak; Yue Xin; Lin Yan; Kristina Kramarczuk; Francheska Figueroa; Brian Nelson; Ebony Terrell Shockley; Jeremy Bernier; Diane Jass Ketelhut – Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 2025
Current efforts to prepare teachers for integrating computational thinking (CT) into disciplinary areas often do not ensure equitable CT experiences for students. This study examined teachers' CT integration by applying the Accessible Computational Thinking (ACT) Framework designed to align elementary science teachers' professional learning and…

LópezLeiva, Carlos A.; Noriega, Gabino; Celedón-Pattichis, Sylvia; Pattichis, Marios S. – Teachers College Record, 2022
Background/Context: Computer programming is rarely accessible to K-12 students, especially for those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Middle school age is a transitioning time when adolescents are more likely to make long-term decisions regarding their academic choices and interests. Having access to productive and positive…

Sparf, Maria – Designs for Learning, 2021
Within a theoretical framework grounded in design for learning, this article presents a research project about pupils' engagement during programming education. In a design-theoretical perspective, everyone who is somehow engaged in a learning process is a designer. The results show that how pupils design their learning when programming is related…

Huang, Wendy; Looi, Chee-Kit – Computer Science Education, 2021
Background and Context: Computational thinking (CT) is considered as a valuable literacy for all students, and its inclusion in compulsory schooling could increase the numbers of underrepresented students who pursue computing-related careers. Computer Science Unplugged (CSU) had success in making computer science (CS) accessible to K-12 students…

Ruiqi Shen – ProQuest LLC, 2021
With the large demand for technology workers all around the world, more people are learning programming. Studies show that human tutoring is the most effective way to learn for novice programmers. However, problems such as the inaccessibility to physical classes, prohibitive costs, and the lack of educators may limit students' opportunities to…

Undergraduate research experiences can improve student success in graduate education and STEM careers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, undergraduate researchers at our institution and many others lost their work-study research positions due to interruption of in-person research activities. This imposed a financial burden on the students and…

Kurhila, Jaakko; Vihavainen, Arto – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2015
The Finnish national school curriculum, effective from 2004, does not include any topics related to Computer Science (CS). To alleviate the problem that school students are not able to study CS-related topics, the Department of Computer Science at the University of Helsinki prepared a completely online course that is open to pupils and students in…

Israel, Maya; Wherfel, Quentin M.; Pearson, Jamie; Shehab, Saadeddine; Tapia, Tanya – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2015
This article's focus is on including computing and computational thinking in K-12 instruction within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, and to provide that instruction in ways that promote access for students traditionally underrepresented in the STEM fields, such as students with disabilities. Providing computing…

Miura, Irene; Hess, Robert D. – 1983
Three studies give evidence to support informal reports of sex differences in computer access, interest, and use in the school-aged population. In the first study, a survey of 87 middle and upper income students in grades 5 to 8 revealed that more boys than girls owned home microcomputers and that use of the home computer also differed by gender.…
