Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of all 1295 full papers and 129 working group reports presented and published at ITiCSE since the conference began in 1996. Working group reports are analysed separately from full papers, in recognition of the particular process by which they are created. The analysis shows that nearly 40% of ITiCSE's full papers concern programming education, and that more than half of them present work conducted in single courses. In contrast, most of the working group reports have a context that extends beyond specific topic areas, and report on work that was not conducted in any courses. About half of the full papers focus on techniques of teaching and learning or tools for teaching and learning, whereas two thirds of the working group reports focus on techniques of teaching and learning or curriculum. With both full papers and working group reports there has been a steady increase in the proportion of papers that clearly present educational research. The findings from our analysis provide valuable insights for potential authors, attendees, chairs, and the whole ITiCSE community.
