Science teachers can teach computational thinking through distributed expertise

This paper explores themes related to the ways 15 eighth grade science teachers supported students’ CTP practices as they implemented a designed science curriculum in which students used the Scratch programming platform, an object-oriented drag and drop environment (Resnick et al., 2009) to create computer games about climate change.

From “You have to have three numbers and a plus sign” to “It’s the exact same thing”: K–1 students learn to think relationally about equations.

This study shows how K–1 students’ understanding of equations and the equal sign progressed through early algebra instruction.

Abstract: This paper presents themes that emerge from empirical literature on women of color (WOC) in computer science (CS) graduate education. We ask, according to the literature, what factors affect the experiences, participation, and advancement of WOC in CS graduate degrees? The findings are drawn from a subset of literature on graduate education from our National Science Foundation-funded project, Literature Analysis and Synthesis of Women of Color in Technology and Computing. Findings of on-campus social supports include student support groups and peers who provided community,  » Read more
