Babes-Vroman, Monica; Nguyen, Thuytien N.; Nguyen, Thu D. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2022
With the number of jobs in computer occupations on the rise, there is a greater need for computer science (CS) graduates than ever. At the same time, most CS departments across the country are only seeing 25-30% of women students in their classes, meaning that we are failing to draw interest from a large portion of the population. In this work, we…

Donado, Marjorie Fontalvo – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Universities are reflections of our societies and are tasked with educating the next generation of experts. The computer science (CS) phenomenon, with its high-paying jobs, attracts more students than ever to the CS undergraduate major. One may wonder why women are underrepresented in the CS major if they constitute half of university enrollment…

Troy Hawk – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The problem that was addressed in this study was underrepresented minorities' low interest in pursuing computer science as a profession. The purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental study was to measure underrepresented youth's attitudes toward computer science. The issue remains a pressing challenge in the U.S. This study explored the…

Adam V. Maltese; Kelli M. Paul; Bárbara Yarza; Lauren Penney – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
In this manuscript, we describe a coding club we created and implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic. We were purposeful in creating the club to: (a) focus on design and problem solving as the basis for learning computer coding and (b) include elements to improve the engagement of girls. We ran multiple iterations of a Girls Design with Code Club…

Allison S. Theobold; Megan H. Wickstrom; Stacey A. Hancock – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
Despite the elevated importance of Data Science in Statistics, there exists limited research investigating how students learn the computing concepts and skills necessary for carrying out data science tasks. Computer Science educators have investigated how students debug their own code and how students reason through foreign code. While these…

Mariyam Abdulhadi; Fred Awaah; Deborah Agbanimu; Emmanuel Okyere Ekwam; Emmanuella Sefiamor Heloo – Journal of Research in Innovative Teaching & Learning, 2024
Purpose: The lecture method has been compared with teaching methods such as flip learning, cooperative learning and simulations to establish which holds the key to students' understanding of concepts. What is bereft in the education literature is its comparative efficiency with the culturo-techno contextual approach (CTCA) in the teaching of…

Zachary M. Savelson; Kasia Muldner – Computer Science Education, 2024
Background and Context: Productive failure (PF) is a learning paradigm that flips the order of instruction: students work on a problem, then receive a lesson. PF increases learning, but less is known about student emotions and collaboration during PF, particularly in a computer science context. Objective: To provide insight on students' emotions…
