在过去的六年中，在计算机械协会(ACM)和电气和电子工程师学会(IEEE)的教育论坛上发表了数十篇关于计算扩展活动的会议论文和期刊文章。其中近一半(47.5%)出现在SIGCSE会场。在这项研究中，我们使用了自由形式的问题：在最近几年进行的关于计算扩展活动的正式、同行评议的研究中收集了什么类型的数据？作为2009-2015年在这些场馆进行系统文献审查的基础。在分析这些文章时发现，大多数努力都集中在初中生和高中生身上，报道的事件大多发生在美国，几乎一半的目标是增加计算领域的性别多样性。本文总结了这些研究的相关信息，包括他们的数据收集技术和所收集的数据。我们还为从事这些活动的教育研究人员提供了一份数据收集、方法和报告的建议做法清单，以努力提供比较数据，并使我们作为一个社区能够更科学地了解这些活动对参与者的影响。
In the past six years, dozens of conference papers and journal articles have been presented in Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) educational forums concerning computing outreach activities. Nearly half of these (47.5%) appeared in SIGCSE venues. In this study, we used the free-form question "What type of data has been collected in formal, peer-reviewed research that has been conducted on computing outreach activities in recent years"? as a basis for a systematic literature review in these venues from 2009-2015. During the analysis of the articles, it was discovered that a majority of efforts focused on middle school and high school students, a majority of the reported events took place in the United States, and almost half had a goal of increasing gender diversity in computing. This paper summarizes the information about the studies, including their data collection techniques and the data that was collected. We also present a list of recommended practices for data collection, methodologies, and reporting for educational researchers engaged in these activities in an effort to provide comparative data and allow us as a community to more scientifically understand the impact that these activities are having on the participants.
