Steve Balady; Cynthia Taylor – Computer Science Education, 2024
Background and Context: Computer Science has traditionally had poor student retention, especially among women. Prior work has found that student attitudes are a key factor to retention, especially with "weedout" courses such as Calculus. Objective: To determine how student attitudes towards CS 1 and Calculus change over active-learning…

Amanda A. Barrett; Colin T. Smith; Courtni H. Hafen; Emilee Severe; Elizabeth G. Bailey – Computer Science Education, 2024
Background and Context: While biology has strong female representation, computer science is the least gender equitable of the STEM fields. A better understanding of the barriers that keep women out of computational fields will help overcome those barriers to create a more diverse workforce. Objective: We investigated the complexities that…

Mara Kirdani-Ryan; Amy J. Ko; Emilia A. Borisova – Computer Science Education, 2024
Background and Context: Post-secondary Computer Science (CS) students' career choices are complex sociocultural decisions, shaped by self-efficacy, belonging, and a multitude of known factors. Prior work has investigated the effect of these factors on career choice, but perspectives that examine norms of career practice are unexplored within…

Pantic, Katarina; Clarke-Midura, Jody – Computer Science Education, 2023
Background and Context: Despite over 30 years of research on broadening participation, women are still underrepresented in Computer Science (CS) education. While enrolment in CS majors has increased, women earn only 18% of the CS baccalaureate degrees in the US. Objective: Most research focuses on why women leave CS. This study explores factors…

McGarr, Oliver; Exton, Chris; Power, Julie; McInerney, Clare – Computer Science Education, 2023
Background and Context: School principals and school guidance counsellors can be very influential in deciding what subjects are offered on the curriculum, how they are promoted and who they are targeted to. For that reason, exploring their views of Computer Science (CS) as a subject can help unearth potential barriers that may hinder the wider…

Lehman, Kathleen J.; Newhouse, Kaitlin N. S.; Sundar, Sarayu; Sax, Linda J. – Computer Science Education, 2023
Background and Context: As computing fields aim to both expand and diversify, narrowing representation gaps in undergraduate computing majors requires focus on retaining women and racially/ethnically minoritized students to the point of degree attainment. Objective: This study addresses the factors that contribute to persistence in computing…

Smith, Katie N.; Lapan, Julia C. – Computer Science Education, 2023
Background and Context: Women are severely underrepresented in computer science (CS). Understanding varied entry points into CS may promote women's participation in the field. Objective: This study identifies experiences that influenced women's matriculation into CS majors, and pathways into CS based on participants' enrollment in bachelor of arts…

Bikanga Ada, Mireilla; Foster, Mary Ellen – Computer Science Education, 2023
Objective: This study explores postgraduate students' perceptions of the modified team-based learning instructional approach used to teach it and the extent to which the Bootcamp course improves their practical skills. Method: In the beginning, participants (n = 185) were asked to rate their practical experience on the taught topics. At the end…

Teaching Algorithms in Upper Secondary Education: A Study of Teachers' Pedagogical Content Knowledge
Nijenhuis-Voogt, Jacqueline; Bayram-Jacobs, Durdane; Meijer, Paulien C.; Barendsen, Erik – Computer Science Education, 2023
Background and Context: Computing education is expanding, while the teaching of algorithms is less well studied. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) for teaching algorithms. Method: We conducted semi-structured interviews with seven computer science (CS) teachers in upper secondary…
