Integrating Social Impact and Ethics into the Computer Science Curriculum

9354626马丁本提案的目的是制定一个计划和材料，整合整个计算机科学课程的社会影响和道德主题。 它将解决两个主要问题，阻碍了全面的课程改革的实施：缺乏材料，可以适应或通过到现有的CS课程和缺乏认识和专业知识的一部分，大多数CS教师的需要和方法，在他们的课程中提出这样的材料。 该项目由三个相互关联的任务组成：1）确定将开发的教学模块的内容，以促进这些主题的介绍; 2）开发可作为教学工具包分发给感兴趣的CS部门和教职员工的实际模块;以及3）开发一个试点教师增强研讨会，可以为感兴趣的CS教师提供，以帮助他们准备使用这些材料。 第一项任务的执行情况如下：将召开为期两天的伦理、社会影响和计算机科学课程专家工作会议，以确定教学单元的适当内容。 他们将讨论大一计算机与社会课程，传统的计算机科学核心课程和高级设计课程的可能主题。 这次会议的预期成果将是这个小组就哪些主题，多少时间，以及这些主题的水平，应包括在CS课程的共识。 第二项任务的执行情况如下：根据工作会议的建议，将开发教学单元，这些单元可作为单一课程一起使用，也可在整个课程的若干课程中单独使用。 这些模块将包括场景，讨论和书面评论练习，以及呈现主题的教学策略。 这些模块将为大一课程开发，用于计算机科学核心课程，并用于高级设计课程。 这些模块将被发送给计算机科学教授进行评论和试点测试。 将编制一套教学单元供普遍分发。 第三项任务将执行如下：根据开发的材料，将开发和进行为期两天的试点教师增强研讨会，就如何有效地使用这些材料提供指导计算机科学教授。 根据试点研讨会的结果，还将编制一套供教师进修研讨会使用的资料，供普遍分发。 *y

9354626 Martin The purpose of this proposal is to develop a plan and materials for integrating social impact and ethics topics across the computer science curriculum. It will address the two major problems that hamper the implementation of an across-the-board curricular change: The lack of materials that can be adapted or adopted into the existing CS curriculum and the lack of awareness and expertise on the part of most CS faculty regarding the need and methodology for presenting such material in their courses. The project is comprised of three interrelated tasks: 1) define the content of teaching modules to be developed that will facilitate the presentation of these topics; 2) develop the actual modules that can be disseminated as a teaching kit to interested CS departments and faculty members; and 3) develop a pilot faculty enhancement seminar that can be presented for interested CS faculty members to prepare them to use the materials. The first task will be implemented as follows: a two-day working conference of experts in ethics, social impact, and computer science curriculum will be convened to determine the appropriate content for the teaching modules. They will discuss possible topics for a freshman computers-and-society course, the traditional computer science core courses, and the senior design course. The expected outcome of this conference will be consensus from this group regarding which topics, how much time, and the level of such topics that should be included in the CS curriculum. The second task will be implemented as follows: Based upon the recommendation of the working conference, teaching modules will be developed that can be used together as a single course or independently within a number of courses across the curriculum. These modules will include scenarios, exercises for discussion and written comment, and teaching strategies for presenting the topics. The modules will be developed for a freshman course, use in computer science cor e courses, and use in a senior design course. These modules will be sent out for comment and pilot testing by computer science professors. A kit of teaching modules will be developed for general dissemination. The third task will be implemented as follows: Based upon the materials developed, a pilot two-day faculty enhancement seminar will be developed and conducted to provide guidance to computer science professors regarding how to effectively use the materials. Based upon results from the pilot seminar, a kit for faculty enhancement seminars will also be developed for general dissemination. ***y
