- To what extent is students' understanding of computer science culturally situated? This, possibly philosophical question, has come to the surface at Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden, where many Chinese students study computer science together with the local students. We did an exploratory study using email interviews to see if our intuitions could be relied on. We collected data from Chinese students studying in master programs and analysed the data using a phenomenographic perspective. A complex intertwined relationship between the content of their learning (the WHAT) the ways in which they went about studying (the HOW), the aims of their studies (the WHY), and the competencies developed from the intercultural context they studied in (the WHERE) was observed. In this paper we offer some insights from the results of the pilot study and discuss how they have shaped our on-going study in the field.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Plagiarism is a serious problem in computer science.This paper reports the analyses of data about plagiarism that wasgathered from master level students in computing. We haveidentified how students perceive plagiarism, how they choose torespond when faced by a scenario involving plagiarism, and whatdrives them to take a particular stance or adopt an action. Thedata-driven analyses show complex understanding of plagiarismand a range of motives that could lead students to plagiarize. Wehave found discrepancies between how students understandplagiarism and how they argue they would act when facing adilemma involving plagiarism. The implications of theseperceptions and motives for computer science educators arediscussed. A number of questions for discussion and furtherinvestigation are raised.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Internationalisation in higher education has led to the emergence of joint educational programmes between universities. In this paper, we document the Sino-Swedish master programme in computer science and software engineering, taught jointly by a Swedish and a Chinese university, from the perspective of the Swedish partner, Uppsala University. We also describe what the programme means to the Chinese students studying in Sweden. For this purpose, we interviewed the Chinese students and asked questions about their experiences of learning and living in Sweden. The students identified the differences in the experiences in Sweden from that of learning and living in China and the challenges that they faced in Sweden. The students also offered recommendations for improving their learning experiences. We discuss the benefits and challenges of joint education programs.

Computer science students’ perception of computer network security
- 2013

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the last decade, the progress of internet tech-nologies has led to a significant increase in security and privacyissues for users. This study aims to investigate how computerscience students perceive computer network security. Thirtythree students participated in the study in which we gathereddata through a questionnaire. In this paper, we present ananalysis that is inspired by the phenomenographic approach.Our conclusion is that the students have different levels ofunderstanding of computer network security depending on theirusage of the concepts they have learned, their theoretical orpractical orientation to the subject, and their interest in the field.

Role Modeling as a Computing Educator in Higher Education : A Focus on Care, Emotions and Professional Competencies
- 2022
-
Ingår i: ITiCSE-WGR '22. - New York, NY, USA : ACM Digital Library. ; , s. 37-63
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper provides insights into role modeling by educators in computing that is beyond the technical, theoretical and rational perspectives which have historically been described as dominant in computing. Surveying 199 educators in higher education, we have built on frameworks of role modeling, care, emotions, and professional competencies as a lens to see different ways of engaging in computing.Our quantitative and qualitative findings show how educators model ways of caring (for oneself, other humans and living species, technology, and the planet), emotions, professional competencies and other types of role modeling. Examples of contexts within computing and reasons why an educator can(not) model these aspects bring new light to research on care and emotions being shown in computing.This work contributes to a better understanding of computing educators as potential role models, particularly in terms of displaying emotions and various types of care. Our work can support ways of developing the professional competences of computing educators and the teaching culture of computing departments. Our findings may inspire other educators to think about their own display of emotions and care, and what this transmits to their students. Thus, the work also contributes to the discussion of ways to increase diversity among students and equitable access to computing education.
