摘要在制度和国际层面上了解学生观点（HE）的重要性越来越重要。行业需求很高，但学生的辍学率也很重要。从短期（将是研究的话题）和长期（职业目标）观点来研究的学生调查和论文的数据都将有助于通过学生的眼睛来描绘计算教育它及其在社会中的作用也将帮助教育工作者为大学学习和改善学生的体验做好准备。
ABSTRACT There is growing appreciation of the importance of understanding the student perspective in Higher Education (HE) at both institutional and international levels. This is particularly important in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics subjects such as Computer Science (CS) and Engineering in which industry needs are high but so are student dropout rates. An important factor to consider is the management of students’ initial expectations of university study and career. This paper reports on a study of CS first-year students’ expectations across three European countries using qualitative data from student surveys and essays. Expectation is examined from both short-term (topics to be studied) and long-term (career goals) perspectives. Tackling these issues will help paint a picture of computing education through students’ eyes and explore their vision of its and their role in society. It will also help educators prepare students more effectively for university study and to improve the student experience.
