Roland Kiraly; Sandor Kiraly; Martin Palotai – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Deep learning is a very popular topic in computer sciences courses despite the fact that it is often challenging for beginners to take their first step due to the complexity of understanding and applying Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Thus, the need to both understand and use neural networks is appearing at an ever-increasing rate across all…

Anastasia Angelopoulou; Rania Hodhod; Kristin Lilly; Ann Newland – Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability, 2023
People with disabilities rely on a range of accessible technologies to interface with the digital world. However, their needs are often not considered when developing applications in introductory computer sciences courses. These courses traditionally focus on teaching technical skills that do not include those for designing and developing…

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…

Mike Karlin; Cristina Stephany; Mahya Minaiy; Swati Mehta; Marcia Reed; Desiderio Acosta; Claudia Garcia-Valles; Christine Kim; Adan Gonzalez; Sarah Wong – Journal of Technology Education, 2024
While increasing emphasis has been placed on computer science (CS) and computational thinking (CT) little is known about these topics in elementary classrooms. Significant equity gaps exist within CS/CT at the elementary level, with a major contributor being the lack of highly qualified CS/CT elementary teachers. Professional development (PD) for…

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…

Celis Rangel, Jakeline G.; King, Melissa; Muldner, Kasia – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2020
Learning to program requires perseverance, practice, and the mindset that programming skills are improved through these activities (i.e., that everyone has the potential to become good at programming). In contrast to an entity mindset, individuals with an incremental mindset believe that ability is malleable and can be improved with effort. Prior…
