Maintaining a Core Literature of Computing Education Research

• Computing Education Research (CER) is emerging as a research discipline in its own right, with its own community. This emerging community is developing a collective understanding of what constitutes seminal and influential work in the field. One way of codifying such understanding is the explicit identification of a core CER literature. At a recent ITiCSE working group, the authors proposed an approach to classifying and assessing the significance of work in CER\cite{Pears_et_al.05}. Defining and discussing a core literature will strengthen the CER community and facilitate the entry of new researchers. Obviously a single working group can only deal with a subset of the CER literature, and this subset will tend to represent the interests of the working group's members. Furthermore, the corpus of CER literature is far from static. Each year brings many new papers and books, each of them potentially significant. This paper proposes an approach to creating and maintaining a dynamic body of core literature for CER.
