The Cambridge Handbook of Computing Education Research (Cambridge Handbooks in Psychology)

This Handbook describes the extent and shape of computing education research today. Over fifty leading researchers from academia and industry (including Google and Microsoft) have contributed chapters that together define and expand the evidence base. The foundational chapters set the field in context, articulate expertise from key disciplines, and form a practical guide for new researchers. They address what can be learned empirically, methodologically and theoretically from each area. The topic chapters explore issues that are of current interest, why they matter, and what is already known. They include discussion of motivational context, implications for practice, and open questions which might suggest future research. The authors provide an authoritative introduction to the field which is essential reading for policy makers, as well as both new and established researchers. 04_0_pp_v_vi_Dedication 05_0_pp_vii_ix_Contents 06_0_pp_x_xi_Figures 07_0_pp_xii_xii_Tables 08_0_pp_xiii_xiv_Contributors 09_0_pp_xv_xvi_Acknowledgments 10_0_pp_1_8_An_Important_and_Timely_Field I Background 11_1_pp_11_39_The_History_of_Computing_Education_Research 11_2_pp_40_55_Computing_Education_Research_Today 11_3_pp_56_78_Computing_Education_Literature_Review_and_Voices_from_the_Field II Foundations 12_1_pp_81_101_A_Study_Design_Process 12_2_pp_102_132_Descriptive_Statistics 12_3_pp_133_172_Inferential_Statistics 12_4_pp_173_207_Qualitative_Methods_for_Computing_Education 12_5_pp_208_230_Learning_Sciences_for_Computing_Education 12_6_pp_231_275_Cognitive_Sciences_for_Computing_Education 12_7_pp_276_291_Higher_Education_Pedagogy 12_8_pp_292_322_Engineering_Education_Research III Topics Systemic_Issues 13_1_1_pp_327_376_Novice_Programmers_and_Introductory_Programming 13_1_2_pp_377_413_Programming_Paradigms_and_Beyond 13_1_3_pp_414_444_Assessment_and_Plagiarism 13_1_4_pp_445_480_Pedagogic_Approaches 13_1_5_pp_481_510_Equity_and_Diversity New_Milieux 13_2_1_pp_513_546_Computational_Thinking 13_2_2_pp_547_583_Schools_K12 13_2_3_pp_584_605_Computing_for_Other_Disciplines 13_2_4_pp_606_636_New_Programming_Paradigms Systems_Software_and_Technology 13_3_1_pp_639_662_Tools_and_Environments 13_3_2_pp_663_678_Tangible_Computing 13_3_3_pp_679_706_Leveraging_the_Integrated_Development_Environment_for_Learning_Analytics Teacher_and_Student_Knowledge 13_4_1_pp_709_726_Teacher_Knowledge_for_Inclusive_Computing_Learning 13_4_2_pp_727_748_Teacher_Learning_and_Professional_Development 13_4_3_pp_749_772_Learning_Outside_the_Classroom 13_4_4_pp_773_800_Student_Knowledge_and_Misconceptions 13_4_5_pp_801_826_Motivation_Attitudes_and_Dispositions 13_4_6_pp_827_858_Students_As_Teachers_and_Communicators Case_Studies 13_5_1_pp_861_874_A_Case_Study_of_Peer_Instruction 13_5_2_pp_875_894_A_Case_Study_of_Qualitative_Methods 14_0_pp_895_906_Index This Handbook describes the extent and shape of computing education research today.
