All for One and One for All – Collaboration in Computing Education : Policy, Practice, and Professional Dispositions
- 2024

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The ITiCSE’23 final keynote raised teaching soft skills, or professional dispositions, to help students face challenges in modern programming. This project addresses helping computing students develop professional dispositions through collaborative learning (CL) since some in the industry observe entry-level engineers struggling due to their fragile professional dispositions. We are motivated to understand professional expectations from entry-level engineers and present the academia-industry gap to support practitioners and researchers in advancing CL in Computing Education, encouraging positive curricula and policy changes that promote DEIA. We will present CL practices alongside their supported professional dispositions to assist practitioners in adoption. We will present the academia-industry gap in CL for future research opportunities, helping researchers advance CL practices to integrate professional dispositions the industry expects from entry-level engineers. © 2024 Copyright held by the owner/author(s)

Who is a Role Model? : An Open Discussion on the Role of Role Modeling in Engineering Education
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Proceedings. - : Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- While role models are frequently mentioned in literature to broaden participation in engineering education, there are diverse ways of understanding what role modeling is, what it entails and what theory we can use to support our own reflections as professionals and students in engineering who can act as role models for others in the discipline. In this special session we invite participants to discuss their own conceptions of role modeling, in terms of what can be modeled, the intention and awareness of it, and how this may be perceived by others. To support the discussions we introduce Grande's framework of role modeling, which builds on role modeling theory. The format of the session will be that of a World Café, where participants will alternate their participation in discussions at five different tables, each table with a theme related to the framework. With these conversations we expect participants to go back to their own contexts in academia and industry to continue the discussion with their colleagues. We also invite them to connect with facilitators and others at the session to continue research efforts in the area of role modeling in engineering education.

1.5 Degrees of Separation : Computer Science Education in the Age of the Anthropocene
- 2019
-
Ingår i: ITiCSE '19. - New York, NY, USA : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). - 9781450368957 ; , s. 263-264
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Climate change is the defining environmental challenge now facing our planet. Babies born today will be 22 when global warming reaches 1.5 C, according to the latest IPCC report and forecasts. What will life be like in 2040? How do we as educators respond today, to the challenges that lie ahead for the next generation? How do our practices evolve to take global climate change into account? How do we as educators respond when we see the impact our products have on climate change and the environment? Is it enough to relegate sustainability and climate change to a required course or can we begin to imagine sustainability as a conversation across the entire curriculum? In this working group, we will collaboratively review the literature, and gather, assemble and compile sample syllabi, case studies, and assignments that address climate change in the context of computer science education. We will work together to think through how best to equip our students with the tools needed to adapt to a world shaped by climate change.

1.5 Degrees of Separation : Computer Science Education in the Age of the Anthropocene
- 2019

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Climate change is the defining challenge now facing our planet. Limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees, as advocated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, requires rapid, far-reaching, and unprecedented changes in how governments, industries, and societies function by 2030. Computer Science plays an important role in these efforts, both in providing tools for greater understanding of climate science and in reducing the environmental costs of computing. It is vital for Computer Science students to understand how their chosen field can both exacerbate and mitigate the problem of climate change.We have reviewed the existing literature, interviewed leading experts, and held conversations at the ITiCSE 2019 conference, to identify how universities, departments, and CS educators can most effectively address climate change within Computer Science education. We find that the level of engagement with the issue is still low, and we discuss obstacles at the level of institutional, program and departmental support as well as faculty and student attitudes. We also report on successful efforts to date, and we identify responses, strategies, seed ideas, and resources to assist educators as they prepare their students for a world shaped by climate change.

Student Perceptions of Resource Helpfulness
- 2023
-
Ingår i: ITiCSE 2023. - : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). - 9798400701399 ; , s. 668-668
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- What do students perceive as helpful when they learn to program? This paper presents the results of this question from a survey conducted with 125 students enrolled in two online introductory programming courses. The question asked students to rank a number of resources and activities that they used or completed in their course. The results show that students perceive lecture videos as the most helpful resource while syntax exercises were seen as the most helpful activity. The spread of the student responses would seem to indicate that a more thorough and widely completed investigation of student perceptions of resources and activities would be beneficial to the field of computer science education.

Translate Together : Managed Translation and Peer-Review
- 2023
-
Ingår i: ITiCSE 2023. - : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). - 9798400701399 ; , s. 595-596
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper describes a tool for managing peer-reviewed translation activities within CS1 classes. The tool is designed to help students develop a better understanding of terms within class by writing and reviewing translations of those terms and their descriptions in their native language. The peer-review of the translations means that lecturers do not need to share the language of their students.

Managing Group Projects in Undergraduate Computing
- 2023
-
Ingår i: ITiCSE 2023. - : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). - 9798400701399 ; , s. 597-598
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This panel convenes four educators, each from different institutions and each with experience managing group projects. Their expertise spans topics including: peer assessment and peer evaluation; entrepreneurship; transdisciplinarity; internationalisation; inclusivity; social values; educational technology and tools; feedback and feed-forward; peer rating; free-riders; as well as blended learning; and post-pandemic online discourse. They reflect on the delight of seeing students collaborate to deliver meaningful projects as well as the challenges posed by disengaged students. They also explore a common theme of discordance inherent to teamwork and systems to support student communities.

An International Investigation into Student Concerns regarding Transition into Higher Education
- 2018
-
Ingår i: ITICSE'18. - New York, NY, USA : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). ; , s. 344-345
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The experience of transitioning into and starting higher education is a very individual one, with some applicants viewing the prospect of higher education as an unknown entity; for those who are first in their family or community to consider higher education, this can seem an "alien environment". These are just some of the issues that lead to applicants experiencing levels of concern when considering a transition into higher education. This international working group proposes to consider concerns across a wide range of participants: namely students who are in the process of transitioning into a higher education environment, and students who have recently completed this transition.
