Adrian Salguero – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Introductory computer programming (i.e. CS1) is the entry point into the computer science major at higher education institutions worldwide. It introduces foundational concepts to students that are then built upon in future courses. Computer science as a whole has struggled to attract and retain students in the major, particularly women and…

Wendy Haw; Adam Crawford – Journal of Learning Development in Higher Education, 2025
This article illustrates the potential for hackathons to serve as an innovative educational tool in addressing the underrepresentation of minority communities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Using Merced, California--a region recognised for its agricultural economy, socioeconomic disparities, and diverse…

Lachney, Michael; Yadav, Aman; Drazin, Matt; Allen, Madison C.; Babbitt, William – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2021
Despite the value that cultural experts bring to efforts to broaden the participation of racially minoritized youth in US computer science, there has been little research on supporting their knowledge of computing. This is a missed opportunity to explore the diffusion of computing knowledge across local community contexts where underrepresented…

Mauk, Maureen; Willett, Rebekah; Coulter, Natalie – Learning, Media and Technology, 2020
The past five or so years have been marked by a proliferation of educational initiatives, programmes, and toys designed to introduce children to coding and to develop their skills and interest in computer science. This article takes a critical approach to this movement, focusing specifically on ways dominant discourse surrounding the coding…

Amanda M. Meek – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Despite high scores and abilities, girls lose interest in science and math throughout middle school. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs in the computer science research field will grow 19% by 2026; however, only 18% of the bachelor's degrees in computer science are earned by women in the United States (ComputerScience.org, 2021).…

Lyon, Louise Ann; Schatz, Colin; Toyama, Yukie; Torres, David – Community College Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
As open-access institutions serving diverse student populations, community colleges are perfect settings for broadening participation in computing efforts in higher education. The very nature of open access, however, places students with a wide variety of previous experience in the same introductory computer science classroom, intimidating the…

Qing Li; Mahnaz Moallem; Jeremy Boettinger; Qijie Cai; Michael Levi – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2025
Aiming to promote equity in computing, this study proposes an educational model that offers an alternative approach to inspire K-12 students to become interested in CS and develop their computational thinking (CT) skills. It also examines the experience of marginalized students during the COVID pandemic in a learning environment grounded in the…

Adeli Ynostroza-Ochoa; Sylvia Celedón-Pattichis; Marios S. Pattichis; Irán Tovar; Melissa Ibarra – International Journal of Multicultural Education, 2025
Although there have been efforts to broaden the participation of underrepresented students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), few studies have focused on how Latine bilingual students in rural contexts can access computer programming. The purpose of this case study is to examine how translanguaging facilitates…

Hicks, Timothy Alex; Cohen, Jonathan D.; Calandra, Brendan – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2022
This mixed methods case study presents the experience of a group of middle school students in a year-long, after-school computing programme in a large, inner-city school district in the southeastern United States. The purpose of this research is to explore informal educational strategies that are conducive at giving underrepresented minority youth…

Umar Shehzad; Jody Clarke-Midura; Mimi Recker – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2024
Objectives: The increasing demand for computing skills has led to a rapid rise in the development of new computer science (CS) curricula, many with the goal of equitably broadening the participation of underrepresented students in CS. While such initiatives are vital, factors outside of the school environment also play a role in influencing…

Katharine Childs; Sue Sentance – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2024
Gender balance in computing education is a decades-old issue that has been the focus of much previous research. In K-12, the introduction of mandatory computing education goes some way to giving all learners the opportunity to engage with computing throughout school, but a gender imbalance still persists when computer science becomes an elective…

Pantic, Katarina; Clarke-Midura, Jody; Poole, Frederick; Roller, Jared; Allan, Vicki – Computer Science Education, 2018
Stereotypes people hold about computer scientists contribute to underrepresentation in computer science. Perceptions of computer scientists have historically been linked to males and a "nerd" culture, which can lead to lack of interest, particularly for girls. This article presents two studies conducted with two groups of middle…

Pair Programming in Perspective: Effects on Persistence, Achievement, and Equity in Computer Science
Bowman, Nicholas A.; Jarratt, Lindsay; Culver, K. C.; Segre, Alberto M. – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2020
Pair programming is a form of collaborative learning in computer science that involves two students working together on a coding project. Previous research has identified mostly positive outcomes from this practice, such as course grades and the quality of the resulting code. Pair programming may also facilitate interactions that improve the…

Du, Jie; Wimmer, Hayden – Information Systems Education Journal, 2019
Computer programmers in the U.S. labor force are facing a shortage. Focusing on recruiting females has the potential to address this shortage. Computing is a male dominated field which provides an opportunity to recruit the other 50% of the population, females, to fill the open positions. This work studies gender differences in computer…

Zinth, Jennifer Dounay – Education Commission of the States, 2015
Computer science and coding skills are widely recognized as a valuable asset in the current and projected job market. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 37.5 percent growth from 2012 to 2022 in the "computer systems design and related services" industry--from 1,620,300 jobs in 2012 to an estimated 2,229,000 jobs in 2022. Yet some…
