Generating self-explanations has been identified as a successful strategy in helping learners engage with course content and organize what they learn in a structured format. While typing an explanation may allow more structure and formality, explaining ...

The first Bebras Challenge in Lithuania was established in 2004. The Challenge quickly became international, with a dozen countries joining every year following. A global community of computer science (CS) educators, known as the Bebras Community, began ...

Many novice programmers struggle to write code from scratch and get frustrated when their code does not work. Parsons problems can reduce the difficulty of a coding problem by providing mixed-up blocks that the learner assembles in the correct order. ...

This working group concerns the adoption of computing education (CE) in undergraduate computer science (CS) programmes. Such adoption requires both arguments sufficient to persuade our departmental colleagues and our education committees, and also ...

At ITiCSE 2021, Working Group 3 examined the evidence for teaching practices that broaden participation for women in computing, based on the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) Engagement Practices framework. One of the report's ...

Computing science education has experienced low attendance and historic declines in registration from different minority groups. The past decade of enrollment surge in computer science undergraduate programs has increased the number of women and ...

To investigate and identify promising practices in equitable K-12 computer science (CS) education, the capacity for education researchers to conduct this research must be rapidly built globally. Simultaneously, concerns have arisen over the last few ...

The recent advent of highly accurate and scalable large language models (LLMs) has taken the world by storm. From art to essays to computer code, LLMs are producing novel content that until recently was thought only humans could produce. Recent work in ...

Computer science education in the Czech Republic's primary school curriculum (ISCED 1) is now, similar to other countries, undergoing a transformation to respond current needs. This includes principles of how the Internet functions. Little is known about ...

In this poster, we highlight computational thinking resources for schools from the PACT team at Maynooth University, Ireland. The resources are derived from tasks from the Bebras international computational thinking initiative. The different modalities ...

The ACM Education Board recently endorsed the ACM CCECC's Bloom's for Computing publication [2] which enhances the traditional verb list of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy [3] with computing-related verbs to facilitate the development of learning outcomes and ...

CS educators have increasing interest in equitable grading, to support differing student backgrounds, perspectives, and current life situations. Our course is heavily scaffolded (one aspect of equitable grading), with points for readings, homeworks, and ...

The ubiquity of artificial intelligence (AI) in everyday life suggests the need to ensure young students know about AI, its uses and limitations, and its benefits and risks, while enabling them to develop expertise in using AI-driven technologies. To ...

The field of computer science education has seen an abundance of experience reports exploring various implementations of pedagogical approaches and tools. While these reports have provided valuable insights, there remains a need to understand how these ...

The role of non-formal education in increasing female participation in Computer Science (CS) is a hot topic. Short-term interventions, including programming skill outreach activities, have been reported to increase self-efficacy and willingness to pursue ...

Computer science (CS) curriculum reform across the UK has been subject to substantial scrutiny, as it has in many other countries around the world. However, in Wales -- one of the four nations in the UK -- various political, geographical and socio-...

In this study, we developed an instructional module consisting of four units to help high school students understand the 4V concepts of big data by exploring air pollution. The instructional module enabled students to explore air quality data on specific ...

Introductory programming courses at university level often face the challenge of having to initiate learning to large student groups with a wide range of prior knowledge. We present a teaching concept that supports individual students' self-learning ...

What do students perceive as helpful when they learn to program? This paper presents the results of this question from a survey conducted with 125 students enrolled in two online introductory programming courses. The question asked students to rank a ...

This poster focuses on workshops to support students' soft and selfreflection skills during collaborative learning. These workshops intend to help reduce anxiety during group work and to promote inclusive and equitable collaborative learning ...
