Workshop for Investigating the Issues Involved in Implementing a Data Repository for Empirical CS Education Data

Id: 0734761PI：凯瑟琳桑德斯（罗德岛学院）标题：研讨会调查涉及实施经验CS教育数据数据存储库的问题这个奖项是一个研讨会，讨论在构建和维护经验计算机科学教育研究数据存储库的关键挑战。如果研讨会参与者积极响应，那么研讨会将作为开发存储库本身的更大拨款提案的基础。实证计算机科学教育研究是一个不断发展的领域。关于方法的共识越来越多，出版物的数量越来越多，甚至专门讨论这个主题的新会议也越来越多。然而，研究界还没有通用的数据集。这样的数据集被广泛应用于其他领域。发布数据有明显的优势。如果研究人员公布他们的数据，其他研究人员可以复制他们的分析。此外，一旦可以在相同的数据集上直接比较它们，就可以开发新的分析工具和技术。然而，在建立这样一个储存库之前，有许多后勤问题需要解决。通过将经验计算机科学教育研究社区的成员聚集在一起，研究人员想要确定是否有人对这样一个存储库感兴趣，如果有的话，就应该采取的形式开始建立共识。研讨会将产生一份报告，如果报告是积极的，那么计划向NSF提交一份关于开发存储库本身的提案。

Id: 0734761PI: Kathryn Sanders (Rhode Island College)Title: Workshop for Investigating the Issues Involved in Implementing a Data Repository for Empirical CS Education DataThis award is for a workshop to discuss the key challenges in constructing and maintaining a repository of empirical computer-science education research data. If the workshop participants respond positively, the workshop will serve as the basis for a larger grant proposal to develop the repository itself. Empirical computer-science education research is a growing field. There is a growing consensus with regard to methods, an increasing number of publications, and even a new conference devoted to the topic. Nevertheless, the research community does not yet have common data sets. Such data sets are widely used in other fields. There are clear advantages to publishing data. If researchers publish their data, other researchers can replicate their analysis. In addition, new tools and techniques for analysis can be developed, once it becomes possible to compare them directly on the same data sets. Nevertheless, there are numerous logistical issues to be solved before setting up such a repository. By gathering members of the empirical computer-science education research community together, the researchers want to determine whether there is interest in such a repository, and if so, begin to build a consensus as to the form it should take. The workshop will produce a report and if the report is positive, then plan to submit a proposal to NSF for development of the repository itself.
