人们普遍认为，有必要激发更多的学生对计算机的兴趣。考虑教师对学生参与度的看法对于确保他们对任何解决方案的支持都很重要。因此，我们提出了一个定性的结果，基于教师的看法，使主题有趣的最佳途径的研究。从英国计算机教师的115份回复中，出现了一系列他们认为最重要的问题。我们发现，虽然他们的观点反映了一系列的方法，在文献和国家倡议中广泛推广，也有教师的观点和更广泛的话语之间的脱节。根据研究结果，我们提出了具体的建议，在这些领域应该做更多的工作，以支持教师在计算有趣的学校学生。学术界应该更多地与教师接触，特别是如果他们希望在学校引入深度计算原理的话。教师们对学校的计算机俱乐部表示了兴趣，但仍然需要一个强有力的支持网络。这可能是企业和大学帮助支持教师的机会。
It is widely agreed that there is a need to excite more school students about computing. Considering teachers' views about student engagement is important to securing their support for any solution. We therefore present the results of a qualitative, questionnaire-based study on teachers' perceptions of the best ways to make the subject interesting. From 115 responses by UK computing teachers emerged a range of themes about the issues they felt were most important. We found that whilst their views reflected a range of approaches that are widely promoted in the literature and in national initiatives, there were also disconnects between teachers' views and wider discourses. Based on the results, we give specific recommendations for areas where more should be done to support teachers in making computing interesting to school students. Academics should do more to engage with teachers, especially if they wish to introduce deep computing principles in schools. Teachers expressed an interest in computing clubs in schools, but a strong support network for them is still needed. This may be an opportunity for businesses and universities to help support teachers.
