This project will facilitate the emergence of a productive research community in the field of computing education by supporting attendees of the 2006 International Computing Education Research Workshop. People who are doing computing education research today rarely have external funding to do that research or to attend meetings to share and discuss their research. This project will help bring researchers, especially those who have limited or no funding, who are junior, or from small colleges or underrepresented groups, to an interdisciplinary forum to discuss exploratory and emerging research in computing education. It will also support researchers from outside computing, but whose work in areas such as developmental psychology is relevant to computing education, and scholars studying issues of prime importance to computing education like broadening participation. Computing education does not have an extensive research base or a vibrant community of research-based practice, and struggles with the problem of everything being invented locally. This grant will help nurture a community of researchers and fuel the development of a body of educational research in the field. This can have far reaching impacts, such as changing the practice of computing education, attracting and retaining a diverse student body, and establishing computing education research as a significant sub-discipline of computing research.

该项目将通过支持2006年国际计算教育研究研讨会的与会者，促进计算教育领域富有成效的研究社区的出现。 今天，从事计算机教育研究的人很少有外部资金来进行研究或参加会议来分享和讨论他们的研究。该项目将帮助研究人员，特别是那些资金有限或没有资金的研究人员，他们是初级的，或者来自小型学院或代表性不足的群体，参加跨学科论坛，讨论计算机教育中的探索性和新兴研究。它还将支持来自计算之外的研究人员，但他们在发展心理学等领域的工作与计算教育有关，以及研究对计算教育至关重要的问题的学者，如扩大参与。计算机教育没有广泛的研究基础或充满活力的研究实践社区，并且正在努力解决本地发明的所有问题。这笔赠款将有助于培养一个研究人员社区，并推动该领域教育研究机构的发展。这可能会产生深远的影响，例如改变计算教育的实践，吸引和留住多样化的学生群体，并建立计算教育研究作为计算研究的重要子学科。
