Context: Introducing Computer Science (CS) into formal education can be challenging, notably when considering the numerous stakeholders involved which include the students, teachers, schools, and policy makers. We believe these perspectives should be considered conjointly, which is possible within Research Practice Partnerships (RPPs). RPPs look…

Feedback is an essential element of education in raising student learning and performance. Along with the ubiquitous use of technologies in education, video feedback has emerged recently as a new mode of feedback delivery. While there are a number of previous studies on perceptions about video feedback, its effectiveness on feedback use remains…

It is critical for nations to have trained professionals in network security who can safeguard hardware, information systems, and electronic data. Network security education is a key knowledge unit of the National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity and various information systems security curricula at the master's and bachelor's…

Background/Context: There were over 500,000 open computing jobs across the country in 2018, but only 35% of U.S. high schools offer computer science classes, and only 8-10% of STEM graduates study computer science (Code.org, 2018). In 2021, only 5.1% of all Bachelor's degrees conferred were in Computer and Information Sciences (IPEDS, 2018). STEM…

This article uses interaction analysis to examine an episode moment-by-moment of how a group of educators recognized and acknowledged that a specific design decision could be harmful for a historically marginalized population of students enrolled in the district. However, once a key change was made to be more culturally responsive and considerate,…

This Open Access volume aims to inspire innovative and culturally-responsive transformations in teacher education practices and policies within Europe and beyond in the context of teacher shortage. It amalgamates the collaborative efforts during several years between the Center for Teacher Education and Educational Research (ZLSB) at TU Dresden…

This research aims to describe the learning innovation from character building learning through the Religious Moderation 360 website. The website's content includes photos of places of worship taken with a 360 camera. The research method used is phenomenology with a qualitative approach aimed to i) explain web-based learning and ii) gather student…

As emerging technologies are rapidly advancing as part of our societies and everyday life, it is crucial to include and empower all students in learning about computing and advanced technologies. These include technical capabilities of algorithms, such as the use of AI, that enable novel interactions between humans and their environment and give…

Innovative instructional strategies are critical for fostering engagement and inclusivity in education, especially in technology-driven fields such as computer studies. Despite their potential, the broader impacts of modeling instructional approaches on student interest remain underexplored, particularly in secondary education. This study…

Vocational and regional education systems undergo significant transformations through the integration of innovative approaches designed to meet the demands of local economies and global labor markets. Emphasizing practical skills, industry partnerships, and technology-driven learning, these new models focus on preparing students for real-world…

The study explored the effects of an interdisciplinary learning approach on developing students' English learning (EL) and computational thinking (CT) through two different game-based learning approaches. A quasi-experiment was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach in terms of enhancing students' CT knowledge and their EL…

While computing programs in the U.S. are experiencing growth in enrollment trends, they are still grappling with matters related to retention and persistence of computing undergraduates. One construct identified by scholars as having an impact on persistence in computing is computing identity, which is shaped by constructs such as recognition,…

Evaluating computer science (CS) teacher competencies is crucial for advancing CS education. This study aims to develop and evaluate a self-efficacy assessment tool for CS teaching competence among 1412 CS teachers nationwide in Thailand. Using structural equation modeling, the validity of the tool was examined across four domains: Content…

The integration of digital instructional methods has significantly enhanced the academic system. This study explores the viewpoints of educators and students on the application of digital resources and online platforms in the aftermath of the global health crisis. The research involved 135 university students enrolled in a cloud computing course…

Objectives: Computer Science (CS) education has become increasingly prevalent in elementary schools because of multiple rationales, such as the importance of computational literacy and the growing demand for CS-related workforce preparation. As elementary CS standards continue to be adopted by many states, more examples and voices from the field…
