在美国增加大学预科计算机科学课程的关键障碍之一是缺乏合格的计算机科学教师。TEALS等项目是一项教师准备项目，将高中教师与计算机专业人员配对，提供CS课程，为在职教师提供获得计算机科学教学经验的机会。然而，目前尚不清楚高中教师是否发展了足够的教学专业知识，以维持高质量的计算机科学课程在他们的学校提供。此外，计算机科学教育领域缺乏有效和可靠的方法来衡量教学内容知识（PCK），这是一种描述教师有效教学所需知识的结构。在这张海报中，作者展示了为期三年的NSF资助的第一年的这些结果，以研究TEALS参与如何影响新手计算机科学教师的PCK：1）描述CS PCK关键组成部分的理论框架，2）CS PCK评估的第一次现场测试结果，包括评估的心理测量学特性，以及3）比较教师在计算机科学教学的第一年开始和结束时的评估表现以及他们相对于其计算机专业导师的表现。
One of the critical barriers to increasing pre-collegiate computer science course offerings in the U.S. is a lack of qualified computer science teachers. Programs such as TEALS, a teacher preparation program pairing high school teachers with computing professionals to offer CS courses, provide opportunities for in-service teachers to gain experience teaching computer science. However, it is not clear whether the high school teachers develop sufficient pedagogical expertise to sustain high-quality computer science course offerings at their schools. Furthermore, the field of computer science education lacks valid and reliable ways of measuring pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), a construct that describes the knowledge teachers need for effective instruction. In this poster, the authors present these results from the first year of a three-year NSF grant to study how TEALS participation influences novice computer science teachers' PCK: 1) a theoretical framework describing the critical components of CS PCK, 2) the results of the first field test of a CS PCK assessment, including the psychometric properties of the assessment, and 3) a comparison of how teachers performed on the assessment at the beginning and end of their first year of computer science teaching and how they performed relative to their computing professional mentors.
