- A key component of the tertiary education system is the negotiation of common expectations in terms of pedagogy and the manner in which learning is scaffolded in the learning context. This paper addresses this interplay of perspectives by drawing on two elements of our previous work, a longitudinal study of student identity development [1] and a study contrasting project course students' experiences with teachers' expectations [2]. The paper develops a model of student interaction with teachers and the higher education system, which contributes to a better understanding of the consequences of recent changes and trends in higher education, e.g. demands for activating students, increased level of detail in course specifications, and examination of "non-core subject content". This is an immensely complex area and we approach this challenge with a focus on the issue of students rejecting learning opportunities. Through this lens we will identify and illustrate some essential aspects of how to adapt educational settings to better accommodate how students behave and view the goal of their education.

- Education can be seen as a preparation for a future profession, where some educational programs very clearly prepare their students for a certain profession, e.g. plumber, nurse and architect. The possible professions for students following education programs in computing is quite varied and thus difficult to cater for, but to educate towards a professional life is still a stated goal in most higher education settings. We argue that this goal is typically not even closely reached and provide an analysis indicating factors explaining this situation. The analysis is based on the concept of professional identity. In earlier work [1] a framework with which to reason about student interactions with the regulatory structure of higher education and teachers was developed. In that paper we developed a compound model which not only relates these players to one another, but also provides approaches to reasoning about misalignments which arise when students and teachers approach their shared learning context from different perspectives. This framework is in this paper applied to address different aspects of professional identity with the intent of bringing forth deeper insights into challenges with educating towards professions. This issue is highly complex and the framework provides a structure that is beneficial for analysing different aspects in a more holistic manner.

- Background and context: This study investigates differences in views of girl and boy members of a CS club.Objective:Understanding differences in the views of girls and boys regarding perceived parental attitudes and values, social support, appreciation of CS, and engagement in science and CS. Understanding differences in girls’ and boys’ view of CS, and future study and work aspirations related to science/CS.MMethod: A survey was distributed to all members of a CS club. 115 boys and 39 girls aged 9–16 completed the survey, yielding a response rate of 16.8%.Findings: Similar parental support was perceived by both genders, although girls are less likely to appreciate CS and to aspire to work or study CS. Girls tend to primarily talk to family about CS and science. Girls and boys have a similar perception of CS, but their motivation for wanting to work with CS varied.Implications:Having support, a broad understanding of CS, and a personal interest are critical aspects when it comes to girls’ participation in CS, but these are insufficient in making girls aspire to work or study CS. Educators need to reflect on other aspects of CS education that can promote girls’ aspiration in CS.
