CCLI Phase 2: Increasing Attractiveness of Computing: The Design and Evaluation of Introductory Computing Coursework that Elicits Creativity

德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校和德州农工大学科珀斯克里斯蒂分校与佐治亚理工学院协商，正在调查现有的一门以编程为中心的计算机知识课程的影响，这门课程吸引了女性进入计算机行业。这项研究的目的是研究如何将这门课程的成功方法应用到西班牙裔服务机构的西班牙裔学生身上。这一努力增加了对课程设计如何影响技术职业吸引力的理解。正在收集纵向研究的数据，以评估参与本课程与未来技术相关职业的成功之间的关系。与职业规划专家合作，本课程的教学技术正在适应不同学科的学生。这个项目正在提高非计算机专业学生的计算机素养，结果正在西班牙语服务机构计算联盟的8个成员中的6个进行部署和评估。

Computer Science (31)The University of Texas at El Paso and Texas A&M Corpus Christi in consultationwith Georgia Tech, are investigating the impact of an existingprogramming-centric computer literacy course that has attracted women intocomputing. This research effort is investigating how the successful approachof this course can be applied to Hispanics enrolled at Hispanic servinginstitutions. This effort is increasing the understanding of how curriculumdesign can affect the attractiveness of technical careers. Data forlongitudinal studies to evaluate how participation in this course correlateswith future success in technology-related careers is being collected. Incollaboration with career planning experts, the pedagogical techniquesunderlying this course are being adapted to students from diverse disciplines.This project is improving computing literacy among non-computing majors and theresults are being deployed and evaluated at six of the eight members of theComputing Alliance for Hispanic-Serving Institutions.
