The Computer Science Education Collaborative: Promoting Computer Science Teacher Education Programs for Preservice and In-service Teachers

Computer Science in Education

Computer science or computing science (sometimes abbreviated CS) is the learning of the theoretical foundations of information and computation, and of practical techniques for their execution and application in computer systems. It is often described as the efficient study of algorithmic processes that produce, explain, and transform information. In this work, I use Data Mining algorithms from ...

Agenda for Computer Science Education

This paper examines the nature and scope of computer science education (CSE) research. We first distinguish CSE research from other forms of educational research, outlining its aims and identity as a research discipline. In examining the state of the art of CSE research, we attempt to categorise past research studies into general themes, reflecting the diverse contributions to CSE made over the...

Serious computer games in computer science education

The role and importance of serious computer games in contemporary educational practice is presented in this paper as well as the theoretical fundamentals that justify their use in different forms of education. We present a project for designing and developing serious games that take place within the curriculum for computer science teachers’ education as an independent project work in teams. In ...
