改善计算机科学教育需要将教学创新传播到原始创造者之外,以便变革性实践成为更大的计算机教育工作者社区日常教学的一部分。然而,传播需要大量的时间和精力,以及有意的规划。计算机科学教育界需要持续努力探索和实施基于证据的策略,以增加变革性实践的采用和持续有效的使用。为此,本专栏是我们通过采访著名传播者和成功传播教育创新的个人来获取计算机科学教育界知识的又一部分[1-3]。在本专栏中,我们采访了科琳·刘易斯博士。科琳最近从哈维穆德学院转学到伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校 (UIUC) 任教。在其他项目中,她因计算机科​​学教学技巧 [4] 的工作而闻名,这是一个由 NSF 赞助的项目,旨在传播有效的计算机科学教学实践,在计算机科学教育界受到高度重视。她的研究旨在确定有效的教学实践,以创造公平的空间,让所有学生都有机会学习 [5-9]。科琳已获得 NCWIT。 org 本科生指导奖和 AnitaB。 org 新兴领袖奖,以纪念 Denice Denton。
Improving education in computer science requires that pedagogical innovations propagate beyond the original creators, so that transformative practices become a part of everyday teaching within the larger community of CS educators. However, propagation requires substantial time and energy, as well as intentional planning. The CS education community needs to engage in sustained efforts to explore and implement evidence-based strategies for increasing adoption and sustaining impactful use of transformative practices. To that end, this column represents another installment of our ongoing efforts to capture knowledge within the CS education community by interviewing prominent propagators, individuals who have successfully spread educational innovations [1–3]. In this column, we interview Dr. Colleen Lewis. Colleen recently moved from Harvey Mudd College to become a faculty member at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Among other projects, she is well-known for her work with CS Teaching Tips [4], an NSF-sponsored project for disseminating effective computer science teaching practices that is highly regarded within the CS education community. Her research seeks to identify effective teaching practices for creating equitable spaces where all students have the opportunity to learn [5–9]. Colleen has received the NCWIT. org Undergraduate Mentoring Award and the AnitaB. org Emerging Leader Award in Honor of Denice Denton.
