过去的研究广泛地指出，初中生和高中生对计算机科学学科存在严重的误解。随着在K-12课程中引入计算教育的努力与解决人们对CS的兴趣和态度问题的举措一起获得吸引力，对计算作为一门学科的误解也必须早在中学就解决，众所周知，这是建立身份认同的关键时期。本文分享了一项课程干预的结果，旨在以一种新的视角向学生展示计算机科学--在现实世界中，作为一门创造性和解决问题的学科；作为一种比学生所熟知的以计算机为中心的观点更大、更广泛的东西。
Past research extensively points to gross misperceptions of the discipline of Computer Science among students in middle and high school. As efforts to introduce computing education in K-12 gains traction in tandem with initiatives that address issues of interest and attitudes towards CS, misperceptions of computing as a discipline must also be addressed as early as middle school, which is known to be a key time for identity building. This paper shares the results of a curricular intervention that aims to show CS to students in a new light - in real world contexts and as a creative and problem-solving discipline; as something bigger and broader than the "computer-centric" view that students are known to harbor.
