AP计算机科学A课程和考试在代表性过高和过低的人群中不断表现出不平等。本文探讨了2016-2019年芝加哥公立学区(CPS)三年的AP CS A数据(N = 561)。我们分析了教师和学生层面变量的影响,以确定AP CS A课程的学习和考试通过的差异存在于代表性过高和代表性不足的人群之间。我们的分析提出了四个突出的发现:(1)CPS,与他们的研究实践伙伴关系合作(芝加哥计算机科学平等联盟; CAFÉCS)正在扩大参加AP CS A课程的学生的参与;(2)代表性过高和过低的学生参加AP CS A考试的比例在统计上相当,这表明,在这些人口统计数据中,对参加或不参加AP CS A考试的不同鼓励并不普遍;(3)在调整教师和学生的先前经验后,在通过AP CS A考试的可能性方面,代表性过高和代表性不足的种族分类之间没有显著差异,尽管女生通过考试的可能性比男生整体低3.3倍;(4)在AP CS A之前参加探索计算机科学课程的学生通过AP CS A考试的可能性比在AP CS A之前没有参加ECS的学生高3.5倍。围绕中学计算机科学课程的排序和调查线的影响进行了讨论,以鼓励更广泛地参与AP CS A课程和通过AP CS A考试。
The AP Computer Science A course and exam continually exhibit inequity among over- and under-represented populations. This paper explored three years of AP CS A data in the Chicago Public School district (CPS) from 2016-2019 (N = 561). We analyzed the impact of teacher and student-level variables to determine the extent AP CS A course taking and exam passing differences existed between over- and under-represented populations. Our analyses suggest four prominent findings: (1) CPS, in collaboration with their Research-Practice Partnership (Chicago Alliance for Equity in Computer Science; CAFÉCS), is broadening participation for students taking the AP CS A course; (2) Over- and under-represented students took the AP CS A exam at statistically comparable rates, suggesting differential encouragement to take or not take the AP CS A exam was not prevalent among these demographics; (3) After adjusting for teacher and student-level prior experience, there were no significant differences among over- and under-represented racial categorizations in their likelihoods to pass the AP CS A exam, albeit Female students were 3.3 times less likely to pass the exam than Males overall; (4) Taking the Exploring Computer Science course before AP CS A predicted students being 3.5 times more likely to pass the AP CS A exam than students that did not take ECS before AP CS A. Implications are discussed around secondary computer science course sequencing and lines of inquiry to encourage even greater broadening of participation in the AP CS A course and passing of the AP CS A exam.
