Collaborative Research: Commonsense Computing: What students know before we teach

计算机科学（31）该合作项目涉及六所院校，旨在确定学生在开始第一门计算机课程之前对计算机科学主题的现有知识。识别这些先入之见可以帮助学生在先入之见的背景下学习新概念，从而为计算机科学入门教学提供信息和转变。探讨的主题包括：条件表达式、搜索、用户界面设计和评估，以及并发性。

Computer Science (31)This collaborative project, involving six institutions, is identifying the preexisting knowledge students have about computer science topics prior to their starting a first course in computing. Identifying these preconceptions can be used to inform and transform introductory computer science instruction by helping students to learn new concepts within the contexts of their preconceptions. Topics to be explored include: conditional expressions, search, user-interface design and evaluation, and concurrency.
