大学理事会加入了国家努力,以改善STEM教育的状态,特别是为了应对越来越多的计算机科学家参与的挑战,以满足计算领域不断增长的需求。大学先修课程(AP)很高兴通过保持大学水平的完整性和解决学生和教师的公平和准入问题,奋进提高AP计算机科学课程。除了既定的AP计算机科学课程,AP计划正在开发即将到来的AP计算机科学原理课程。高中生学习大学水平计算的额外选择将为更多的学生提供机会,介绍重要的计算机科学概念,获得更广泛的研究领域的视角,并获得更大的计算途径。本次会议将回顾有关AP计算机科学课程的信息,并将讨论收集有关课程内容和编程技术和语言方法的反馈意见的计划。然后将讨论新的计算机科学原理课程以及课程和考试的开发和启动计划。会议将以问答环节结束,回答有关这两门课程的问题。会议将由大学理事会AP项目的连迪亚兹主持。
College Board has joined national efforts to improve the state of STEM education, in particular to address the challenge of increasing participation with a diverse population of computer scientists to meet the growing demands of the field of computing. The Advanced Placement (AP) Program is pleased to endeavor in enhancing AP Computer Science offerings by maintaining college level integrity and addressing issues of equity and access for students and teachers. In addition to the established AP Computer Science A course, the AP Program is engaged in the development of a forthcoming AP Computer Science Principles course. The additional option for high school students to study college level computing will provide more students with an opportunity to be introduced to important computer science concepts, gain a broader perspective of the field of study, and have access to a larger pathway into computing. This session will review information regarding the AP Computer Science A course and will discuss plans for collecting feedback from college faculty regarding course content and approaches to programming techniques and languages. It will then discuss the new Computer Science Principles course and plans for the development and launch of the course and exam. The session will conclude with a Q&A session addressing questions regarding both courses. The session will be moderated by Lien Diaz from the AP Program at the College Board.
