This Working Group aims to take the current approved Computer Science curricula document, CS2013, and redevelop it into competency statements. The CC2020 project has designed and built a prototype of a visualization tool to compare and contrast current ...

Peer review is a mainstay of academic publication - indeed, it is the peer-review process that provides much of the publications' credibility. This working group is examining the ways peer review is used in various computing education venues and will ...

Increased opportunities for online learning, including growth in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCS), are changing our education environments, increasing access and flexibility in how students engage with education. However, there are still many ...

This paper outlines the objectives of the working group on developing a model Augmented Reality curriculum for higher education. We motivate the need for the model curriculum by the growing Augmented Reality industry and subsequent demand for trained ...

High Performance Computing (HPC) is the ability to process data and perform complex calculations at extremely high speeds. Current HPC platforms can achieve calculations on the order of quadrillions of calculations per second with quintillions on the ...

When student programs are compared for similarity, certain segments of code are always sure to be similar. Some of these segments are boilerplate code -- public static void main String [] args and the like -- and some will be code that was provided to ...

Computing education, in the sense we know it today, was born in the first half of the 1950s with the advent of mass-produced storedprogram computers [15]. Programming, using a vocabulary of a few dozen machine language commands in octal code, was not ...

Since 1996 the ITiCSE conference has provided a forum for academics with an interest in computing education scholarship and research. ITiCSE is often thought of as the European counterpart to northern America's SIGCSE Technical Symposium. Yet from its ...

The purpose of this proposal is to investigate the need for the increased focus on developing transferable and meta skills of Graduate Apprentice Computer Science students and how the advancements of technology can impact the need for this. The Fourth ...

Ensuring effective and up-to-date ways of teaching Computer Science (CS) at the pre-university level could ensure more relevant and higher quality education for future generations. The current situation is unclear and granulated, especially with ...

The study focuses on investigating the impact of English on Non-native English speaking students' performance in computer programming class. Four related factors will be examined including English proficiency, knowledge of English computer terminology, ...

As visual programming languages become more widespread and accessible, there is an increasing likelihood that students' first encounters with programming will be through manipulating blocks on a screen rather than typing text. Therefore, supporting the ...

Developing a sense of belonging to the community in CS departments during the first year plays a vital role in students' retention decisions. This research plan outlines both belonging as a psychosocial construct framed within higher education and ...

The substantive gender and racial gaps in spatial ability create unnecessary barriers to entry to STEM and computing fields [14,15]. Data structures courses in particular are difficult for those in underrepresented groups [8,12,13]. In Chemistry, this ...

Students' ability to control and act upon their cognitive, behavioral, motivational, and metacognitive process is known as Self-regulation of learning (SRL). It has proved to be an effective strategy for academic programming success. However, the ...

Adapting a teaching intervention to the proficiency level of a student improves learning when teaching programming. The goal of this PhD-project is to discover to what extent this holds when teaching computational thinking (CT) skills. I will first ...

In computer programming education, showing the application of programming in reality has become a common way to introduce it to young learners. However, we have limited knowledge of how best to utilize smart objects and environments to foster the ...

RepoBee is an open source tool that helps teachers to use Git effectively in teaching. Use of version control systems has been growing in popularity, with more teachers adopting the technology, or planning to in the future. However, systems like Git are ...

We present an assignment in which students apply predictive modelling to build a model that predicts re-arrest of criminal defendants using real data. Students assess the algorithmic fairness of a real-world criminal risk assessment tool (RAT), and ...

We discuss our experiences using Google Colaboratory (Colab), a hosted version of Jupyter Notebooks, in undergraduate artificial intelligence (AI) courses at two universities. Colab was designed for AI and data science researchers to share reproducible ...
